John 17:24-26
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
24 Father, they are your gift to me. I wish that where I am[a] they also may be with me, that they may see my glory that you gave me, because you loved me before the foundation of the world.(A) 25 Righteous Father, the world also does not know you, but I know you, and they know that you sent me.(B) 26 I made known to them your name and I will make it known,[b] that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in them.”
