John 17:19

Jesus Prays For His Disciples

¹⁸ As you commissioned (sent) me into the world, I commissioned (sent) them into the world. ¹⁹ For their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth. ²⁰ I pray, not for these alone but for those who will believe in me through their word.
