John 17:17-26
English Standard Version
17 (A)Sanctify them[a] in the truth; (B)your word is truth. 18 (C)As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19 And (D)for their sake (E)I consecrate myself,[b] that they also (F)may be sanctified[c] in truth.
20 “I do not (G)ask for these only, but also for those (H)who will believe in me through their word, 21 (I)that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that (J)they also may be in (K)us, so that the world (L)may believe that you have sent me. 22 (M)The glory that you have given me (N)I have given to them, (O)that they may be one even as we are one, 23 (P)I in them and you in me, (Q)that they may become perfectly one, (R)so that the world may know that you sent me and (S)loved them even as (T)you loved me. 24 Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be (U)with me (V)where I am, (W)to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me (X)before the foundation of the world. 25 (Y)O righteous Father, even though (Z)the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. 26 (AA)I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love (AB)with which you have loved me may be in them, and (AC)I in them.”

John 17:17-26
King James Version
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art 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 gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
25 O righteous 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 declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
