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

⁶ I manifested thy name to the men which thou hast given me from the world: they were to thee, and thou hast given them to me; and they have kept thy word. ⁷ Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. ⁸ For the words which thou hast given me, I have given them and they received, and knew in truth that I came out from thee, and they believed that thou sentest me. ⁹ I ask for them: I ask not for the world, but for them thou hast given me: for they are to thee. ¹⁰ And all my things are thine, and thine mine; and I have been honoured in them. ¹¹ And I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. O holy Father, keep them in thy name whom thou but given me, that they might be one, as we. ¹² When I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those thou hast given me I watched, and not one of them perished, except the son of perdition; that the writing might be completed. ¹³ And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that I might have my joy completed in them. ¹⁴ I have given them thy word; and the world hated them, for they are not of the world, as I am not of the world. ¹⁵ I ask not that thou take them out of the world, but that thou keep them from the evil. ¹⁶ They are not of the world, as I am not of the world. ¹⁷ Render them holy in thy truth: thy word is truth. ¹⁸ As thou sentest me into the world, I also sent them into the world. ¹⁹ And for them I render myself holy, that they also be rendered holy in the truth;
