John 17:7-13 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

7. Now they know that everything I have came from you.

8. I told them the words you gave me, and they accepted them. They realized the fact that I came from you and believed that you sent me.

9. I pray for them now. I am not praying for the people in the world. But I am praying for these people you gave me, because they are yours.

10. All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And my glory is seen in them.

11. “Now I am coming to you. I will not stay in the world, but these followers of mine are still in the world. Holy Father, keep them safe by the power of your name—the name you gave me. Then they will be one, just as you and I are one.

12. While I was with them, I kept them safe by the power of your name—the name you gave me. I protected them. And only one of them was lost—the one who was sure to be lost. This was to show the truth of what the Scriptures said would happen.

13. “I am coming to you now. But I pray these things while I am still in the world. I say all this so that these followers can have the true happiness that I have. I want them to be completely happy.
