John 17:12-24 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

12. While I was with them,I was protecting them by Your namethat You have given Me.I guarded them and not one of them is lost,except the son of destruction, so that the Scripture may be fulfilled.

13. Now I am coming to You,and I speak these things in the worldso that they may have My joy completed in them.

14. I have given them Your word.The world hated thembecause they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.

15. I am not prayingthat You take them out of the worldbut that You protect them from the evil one.

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

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

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

19. I sanctify Myself for them,so they also may be sanctified by the truth.

20. I pray not only for these,but also for those who believe in Methrough their message.

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

22. I have given them the glory You have given Me.May they be one as We are one.

23. I am in them and You are in Me. May they be made completely one,so the world may know You have sent Meand have loved them as You have loved Me.

24. Father,I desire those You have given Meto be with Me where I am. Then they will see My glory,which You have given Mebecause You loved Me before the world’s foundation.
