When I was with them, I was keeping them in thy name whom thou hast given unto me. And I guarded them, and no one of them perished, except the son of perdition; that the Scripture may be fulfilled.

And I have given unto them the glory which thou hast given unto me; in order that they may be one, as we are one; I in them, and thou in me, in order that they may be perfected into one; in order that the world may know that thou didst send me, and didst love them, as thou didst love me. Father, that which thou hast given unto me, I wish that they may also be with me, where I am, in order that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given unto me: because thou didst love me before the foundation of the world. Righteous Father, indeed the world does not know thee, but I know thee, and they know that thou didst send me; I made known thy name to them, and will make it known; in order that the love with which thou didst love me may be in them, and I in them.
