²⁶ Then you will ask in my name. I’m not saying I will ask the Father on your behalf,

³⁴ Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us.

²⁴ Father, I want these whom you have given me to be with me where I am. Then they can see all the glory you gave me because you loved me even before the world began!

¹⁹ And I give myself as a holy sacrifice for them so they can be made holy by your truth.

⁹ “My prayer is not for the world, but for those you have given me, because they belong to you.

²³ At that time you won’t need to ask me for anything. I tell you the truth, you will ask the Father directly, and he will grant your request because you use my name.

¹⁶ And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate,^[a] who will never leave you.
