(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. Now they have come to know that everything which You have given Me is from You; for (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. (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; 10 and (M)all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them. 11 I 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. 12 While 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.
