18 As thou hast sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.

19 And for them do I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.

20 And not for them only do I pray, but for them also who through their word shall believe in me;

21 That they all may be one, as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

22 And the glory which thou hast given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, as we also are one:

23 I in them, and thou in me; that they may be made perfect in one: and the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast also loved me.

24 Father, I will that where I am, they also whom thou hast given me may be with me; that they may see my glory which thou hast given me, because thou hast loved me before the creation of the world.

25 Just Father, the world hath not known thee; but I have known thee: and these have known that thou hast sent me.

26 And I have made known thy name to them, and will make it known; that the love wherewith thou hast loved me, may be in them, and I in them.

Jesus Prays for All Believers

20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one,(D) Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.(E) May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.(F) 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me,(G) that they may be one as we are one(H) 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me(I) and have loved them(J) even as you have loved me.

24 “Father, I want those you have given me(K) to be with me where I am,(L) and to see my glory,(M) the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.(N)

25 “Righteous Father, though the world does not know you,(O) I know you, and they know that you have sent me.(P) 26 I have made you[a] known to them,(Q) and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them(R) and that I myself may be in them.”
