John 17:7-12 Common English Bible (CEB)

7. Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you.

8. This is because I gave them the words that you gave me, and they received them. They truly understood that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.

9. “I’m praying for them. I’m not praying for the world but for those you gave me, because they are yours.

10. Everything that is mine is yours and everything that is yours is mine; I have been glorified in them.

11. I’m no longer in the world, but they are in the world, even as I’m coming to you. Holy Father, watch over them in your name, the name you gave me, that they will be one just as we are one.

12. When I was with them, I watched over them in your name, the name you gave to me, and I kept them safe. None of them were lost, except the one who was destined for destruction, so that scripture would be fulfilled.
