John 17:12

12While 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.

John 17:13

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

John 17:14

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.

John 17:15

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

17Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

John 17:18

18As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

John 17:19

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

John 17:20

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

John 17:21

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.

John 17:22

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

John 17:23

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.

John 17:24

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.

John 17:25

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

John 17:26

26And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
