16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 (A)Sanctify[a] them by Your truth. (B)Your word is truth. 18 (C)As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. 19 And (D)for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.

Jesus Prays for All Believers

20 “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who [b]will believe in Me through their word; 21 (E)that they all may be one, as (F)You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22 And the (G)glory which You gave Me I have given them, (H)that they may be one just as We are one: 23 I in them, and You in Me; (I)that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

24 (J)“Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; (K)for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
