John 17:13-23 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

13. And now I am coming to you, and I am saying these things in the world so that they may have my joy completed in themselves.

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

15. I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you protect them from the evil one.

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

17. Sanctify them in the truth—your word is truth.

18. Just as you sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.

19. And for them I sanctify myself, so that they themselves also may be sanctified in the truth.

20. “And I do not ask on behalf of these only, but also on behalf of those who believe in me through their word,

21. that they all may be one, just as you, Father, are in me and I am in you, that they also may be in us, in order that the world may believe that you sent me.

22. And the glory that you have given to me, I have given to them, in order that they may be one, just as we are one—

23. I in them, and you in me, in order that they may be completed in one, so that the world may know that you sent me, and you have loved them just as you have loved me.
