13 But now (A)I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have (B)my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 (C)I have given them your word, and (D)the world has hated them (E)because they are not of the world, (F)just as I am not of the world. 15 I (G)do not ask that you (H)take them out of the world, but that you (I)keep them from (J)the evil one.[a] 16 (K)They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 (L)Sanctify them[b] in the truth; (M)your word is truth. 18 (N)As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19 And (O)for their sake (P)I consecrate myself,[c] that they also (Q)may be sanctified[d] in truth.

20 “I do not (R)ask for these only, but also for those (S)who will believe in me through their word, 21 (T)that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that (U)they also may be in (V)us, so that the world (W)may believe that you have sent me.

13 And now to You I am coming, and I speak these things in the Olam Hazeh that they may have my simcha made shleimah in themselves.

14 I have given to them the dvar of You and the Olam Hazeh has had sin’as chinom (hatred without cause) of them, because they are not of the Olam Hazeh, just as I am not of the Olam Hazeh.

15 I do not make a bakosha that You take them out of the Olam Hazeh, but that You keep them from HaRah.

16 They are not of the Olam Hazeh, just as I am not of the Olam Hazeh.

17 Set them apart for a use that is kodesh in HaEmes (The Truth). [1Kgs 17:24; 2Sm 7:28] Your Dvar is HaEmes.

18 As You sent me into the Olam Hazeh, so also I send them into the Olam Hazeh. [TEHILLIM 119:142, 160]

19 And for their sake, I set myself apart as kodesh that they also may be set apart for use that is kodesh in HaEmes.

20 However, I do not make a bakosha concerning these only, but also concerning the ones becoming ma’aminim in me [as Moshiach] because of their Dvar,

21 That all may be echad, as You, Avi, are in me and I am in You, [YIRMEYAH 32:39] that also they may be in us, that the Olam Hazeh may have emunah (faith) that You sent me.
