John 17:5-12 New English Translation (NET)

5. And now, Father, glorify me at your side with the glory I had with you before the world was created.

6. “I have revealed your name to the men you gave me out of the world. They belonged to you, and you gave them to me, and they have obeyed your word.

7. Now they understand that everything you have given me comes from you,

8. because I have given them the words you have given me. They accepted them and really understand that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.

9. I am praying on behalf of them. I am not praying on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those you have given me, because they belong to you.

10. Everything I have belongs to you, and everything you have belongs to me, and I have been glorified by them.

11. I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them safe in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are one.

12. When I was with them I kept them safe and watched over them in your name that you have given me. Not one of them was lost except the one destined for destruction, so that the scripture could be fulfilled.
