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

⁶ "I have revealed your real self to the men you gave me from the world. They were yours and you gave them to me, and they have obeyed your message. ⁷ Now at last they know that all that you have given me comes from you, ⁸ for I have given them the truths that you gave me, and they have accepted them and been convinced that I came from you, and they believe that you sent me. ⁹ I have a request to make for them. I make no request for the world, but only for those whom you have given me, for they are yours??10 all that is mine is yours and what is yours is mine??nd they have done me honor. ¹¹ Now I am to be no longer in this world, but they are to remain in the world, while I return to you. Holy Father, keep them by your power which you gave me, so that they may be one just as we are. ¹² As long as I was with them I kept them by your power which you gave me, and I protected them, and not one of them was lost (except the one who was destined to be lost), so that what the Scripture says might come true. ¹³ But now I am coming to you, and I say this here in this world in order that they may have the happiness that I feel fully realized in their own hearts. ¹⁴ I have given them your message, and the world has come to hate them, for they do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. ¹⁵ I do not ask you to take them away from the world, but to keep them from evil. ¹⁶ They do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. ¹⁷ Consecrate them by truth. Your message is truth. ¹⁸ Just as you sent me to the world, I have sent them to the world. ¹⁹ And it is for their sake that I consecrate myself, that they also may be consecrated by truth.
