John 17:6-23

New American Standard Bible

⁶“^(A)I have revealed Your name to the men whom ^(B)You gave Me out of the world; they were ^(C)Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have ^(D)followed Your word. ⁷Now they have come to know that everything which You have given Me is from You; ⁸for ^(E)the words which You gave Me ^(F)I have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that ^(G)I came forth from You, and they believed that ^(H)You sent Me. ⁹^(I)I ask on their behalf; ^(J)I do not ask on behalf of the world, but on the behalf of those whom ^(K)You have given Me, because ^(L)they are Yours; ¹⁰and ^(M)all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them. ¹¹I am no longer going to be in the world; and yet ^(N)they themselves are in the world, and ^(O)I am coming to You. ^(P)Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name ^(Q)which You have given Me, so that ^(R)they may be one just as We are. ¹²While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name, ^(S)which You have given Me; and I guarded them, and ^(T)not one of them perished except ^(U)the ^[a]son of destruction, so that the ^(V)Scripture would be fulfilled.

The Disciples in the World

¹³But now ^(W)I am coming to You; and ^(X)these things I speak in the world so that they may have My ^(Y)joy made full in themselves. ¹⁴I have given them Your word; and ^(Z)the world has hated them because ^(AA)they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. ¹⁵I am not asking You to take them out of the world, but to keep them away from ^[b]^(AB)the evil one. ¹⁶^(AC)They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. ¹⁷^(AD)Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth. ¹⁸Just as ^(AE)You sent Me into the world, ^(AF)I also sent them into the world. ¹⁹And for their sakes I ^(AG)sanctify Myself, so that they themselves also may be ^(AH)sanctified ^(AI)in truth.

²⁰“I am not asking on behalf of these alone, but also for those who believe in Me through their word, ²¹that they may all be one; ^(AJ)just as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, ^(AK)so that the world may ^[c]believe that ^(AL)You sent Me.

Disciples’ Future Glory

²²The ^(AM)glory which You have given Me I also have given to them, so that they may be one, just as We are one; ²³^(AN)I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected ^[d]in unity, so that the world may ^[e]know that ^(AO)You sent Me, and You ^(AP)loved them, just as You loved Me.
