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.

25. Righteous Father!The world has not known You.However, I have known You, and these have known that You sent Me.

26. I made Your name known to themand will make it known,so the love You have loved Me withmay be in them and I may be in them.
