And now, O our God, hear to the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy desolated holy place, for sake of Jehovah. Incline, O my God, thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and see our desolations, and the city which thy name was called upon it: for not for our justice do we cause our supplications to fall before thee, but for thy many compassions. O Jehovah hear; O Jehovah forgive; O Jehovah, attend and do; thou wilt not delay for thy sake, O my God: for thy name was called upon thy city and upon thy people.

They are not of the world, as I am not of the world. Render them holy in thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou sentest me into the world, I also sent them into the world.

O Father, those thou hast given me, I will that where I am these also be with me: that they might behold my glory, which thou gavest me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. O just Father, the world knew thee not: but I knew thee, and these knew that thou didst send me. And I made known to them thy name, and I will make known: that the love with which thou lovedst me might be in them, and I in them.
