John 17:9–12

TEXT EDITION
Pure Cambridge Edition selected
I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

17:7Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.

17:8For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.

17:13And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

17:14I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

17:15I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

17:19And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

17:20Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;

17:21That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

17:22And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

17:23I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

17:24Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

17:25O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
