John 17:12-26 World English Bible (WEB)

12. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name. Those whom you have given me I have kept. None of them is lost, except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

13. But now I come to you, and I say these things in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves.

14. I have given them your word. The world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

15. I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.

16. They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.

17. Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth.

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

19. For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.

20. Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who believe in me through their word,

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

22. The glory which you have given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, even as we are one;

23. I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that you sent me, and loved them, even as you loved me.

24. Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory, which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.

25. Righteous Father, the world hasn’t known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me.

26. I made known to them your name, and will make it known; that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
