John 17:14-26 ▼

14 I have given to them Your word, and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

15 I do not ask that You would take them out of the world, but that You would keep them from evil.

16 They are not of the world, as I am not of the world.

17 Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.

18 As You sent Me into the world, I also sent them into the world;

19 and for them I sanctify Myself, so that they also may be sanctified in truth.

20 But I do not ask for these only, but also for those believing in Me through their word,

21 that all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.

22 And I have given to them the glory that You have given to Me, so that they may be one as We are one—

23 I in them and You in Me—so that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me and loved them even as You loved Me.

24 Father, those whom You have given to Me, I want that they also may be with Me where I am, so that they may behold My glory that You have given to Me because You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

25 Righteous Father, although the world did not know You, yet I knew You, and these knew that You sent Me.

26 And I made known to them Your name and will make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”
