John 17:12-14

The Voice

¹² While I was physically present with them, I protected them through Your name. I watched over them closely; and only one was lost, the one the Scriptures said was the son of destruction. ¹³ Now I am returning to You. I am speaking this prayer here in the created cosmos alongside friends and foes so that in hearing it they might be consumed with joy. ¹⁴ I have given them Your word; and the world has despised them because they are not products of the world, in the same way that I am not a product of the corrupt world order.
