John 17:15-26

New International Version

¹⁵ My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.^{(A) 16} They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.^{(B) 17} Sanctify them by^[a] the truth; your word is truth.^{(C) 18} As you sent me into the world,^(D) I have sent them into the world.^{(E) 19} For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.^(F)

²⁰ “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, ²¹ that all of them may be one,^(G) Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.^(H) May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.^{(I) 22} I have given them the glory that you gave me,^(J) that they may be one as we are one^(K)— ²³ I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me^(L) and have loved them^(M) even as you have loved me.

²⁴ “Father, I want those you have given me^(N) to be with me where I am,^(O) and to see my glory,^(P) the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.^(Q)

²⁵ “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you,^(R) I know you, and they know that you have sent me.^{(S) 26} I have made you^[b] known to them,^(T) and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them^(U) and that I myself may be in them.”
