John 17:5-17 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

5. And now Father, glorify me within yourself, with the glory that I had with you before the world ever was.

6. I have manifested your name to the men whom you have given to me from the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me. And they have kept your word.

7. Now they realize that all the things that you have given me are from you.

8. For I have given them the words that you gave to me. And they have accepted these words, and they have truly understood that I went forth from you, and they have believed that you sent me.

9. I pray for them. I do not pray for the world, but for those whom you have given to me. For they are yours.

10. And all that is mine is yours, and all that is yours is mine, and I am glorified in this.

11. And though I am not in the world, these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Father most holy, preserve them in your name, those whom you have given to me, so that they may be one, even as we are one.

12. While I was with them, I preserved them in your name. I have guarded those whom you have given to me, and not one of them is lost, except the son of perdition, so that the Scripture may be fulfilled.

13. And now I am coming to you. But I am speaking these things in the world, so that they may have the fullness of my joy within themselves.

14. I have given them your word, and the world has hated them. For they are not of the world, just as I, too, am not of the world.

15. I am not praying that you would take them out of the world, but that you would preserve them from evil.

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

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