John 17:6-19 - Jesus Prays For His Disciples

⁶ I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world. They were thine, and thou gavest them me, and they have kept thy word. ⁷ Now they have known that all things that thou hast given me are of thee; ⁸ for the words which thou hast given me I have given them, and they have received them, and have known truly that I came out from thee, and have believed that thou sentest me. ⁹ I demand concerning them; I do not demand concerning the world, but concerning those whom thou hast given me, for they are thine, ¹⁰ (and all that is mine is thine, and all that is thine mine,) and I am glorified in them. ¹¹ And I am no longer in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one as we. ¹² When I was with them I kept them in thy name; those thou hast given me I have guarded, and not one of them has perished, but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled. ¹³ And now I come to thee. And these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in them. ¹⁴ I have given them thy word, and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world. ¹⁵ I do not demand that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them out of evil. ¹⁶ They are not of the world, as I am not of the world. ¹⁷ Sanctify them by the truth: thy word is truth. ¹⁸ As thou hast sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world; ¹⁹ and I sanctify myself for them, that they also may be sanctified by truth.
