14 I have given them Your word.
The world hated(A) them
because they are not of the world,(B)
as I am not of the world.(C)
15 I am not praying
that You take them out of the world
but that You protect them from the evil one.(D)
16 They are not of the world,
as I am not of the world.(E)
17 Sanctify[a](F) them by the truth;(G)
Your word is truth.
18 As You sent Me into the world,(H)
I also have sent them into the world.
19 I sanctify Myself for them,
so they also may be sanctified by the truth.

Jesus Prays for All Believers

20 I pray not only for these,
but also for those who believe in Me
through their message.
21 May they all be one,(I)
as You, Father, are in Me and I am in You.(J)
May they also be one[b] in Us,
so the world may believe You sent Me.
22 I have given them the glory(K) You have given Me.
May they be one as We are one.
