John 17:6-19

New King James Version

Jesus Prays for His Disciples

^6 (A)“I have ^[a]manifested Your name to the men ^(B)whom You have given Me out of the world. ^(C)They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. ⁷ Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You. ⁸ For I have given to them the words ^(D)which You have given Me; and they have received them, ^(E)and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that ^(F)You sent Me.

⁹ “I pray for them. ^(G)I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours. ¹⁰ And all Mine are Yours, and ^(H)Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them. ^11 (I)Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, ^(J)keep^[b] through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one ^(K)as We are. ¹² While I was with them ^[c]in the world, ^(L)I kept them in ^[d]Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and ^(M)none of them is ^[e]lost ^(N)except the son of ^[f]perdition, ^(O)that the Scripture might be fulfilled. ¹³ But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves. ¹⁴ I have given them Your word; ^(P)and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, ^(Q)just as I am not of the world. ¹⁵ I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but ^(R)that You should keep them from the evil one. ¹⁶ They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. ^17 (S)Sanctify^[g] them by Your truth. ^(T)Your word is truth. ^18 (U)As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. ¹⁹ And ^(V)for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.
