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

⁶ "I have made known thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world. Thine they were, and thou gavest them to me, and they have kept thy word. ⁷ They know now that whatever thou hast given me was from thee; ⁸ for I have given them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and they have believed that thou didst send me. ⁹ "I am praying for them; I am not praying for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; for they are thine, ¹⁰ and all thine are mine, and mine are thine; and I am glorified in them. ¹¹ I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own Name these whom thou hast given me, that they may be one as we are one. ¹² While I was with them I kept them by the power of thy name which thou hast given me. I guarded them, and none of them was lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. ¹³ "But now I am coming to thee, and I am speaking these things while I am in the world, so that they may have my joy in all its fulness in themselves. ¹⁴ I have given them thy word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. ¹⁵ I am not asking that thou wilt take them out of the world, but that thou wilt protect them from the Evil One. ¹⁶ They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. ¹⁷ Dedicate them in thy truth; thy word is truth. ¹⁸ As thou hast sent me into the world, even so I also have sent them into the world. ¹⁹ And for their sakes I dedicate myself, that they also may be thoroughly dedicated in the truth.
