John 17:12-21 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

12. When I was with them I protected them in your name that you gave me, and I guarded them, and none of them was lost except the son of destruction, in order that the scripture might be fulfilled.

13. But now I am coming to you. I speak this in the world so that they may share my joy completely.

14. I gave them your word, and the world hated them, because they do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world.

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

16. They do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world.

17. Consecrate them in the truth. Your word is truth.

18. As you sent me into the world, so I sent them into the world.

19. And I consecrate myself for them, so that they also may be consecrated in truth.

20. “I pray not only for them, but also for those who will believe in me through their word,

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