John 17:13-25

New American Standard Bible 1995

The Disciples in the World

¹³ But now ^(A)I come to You; and ^(B)these things I speak in the world so that they may have My ^(C)joy made full in themselves. ¹⁴ I have given them Your word; and ^(D)the world has hated them, because ^(E)they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. ¹⁵ I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them ^[a]from ^[b](F)the evil one. ^16 (G)They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. ^17 (H)Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth. ¹⁸ As ^(I)You sent Me into the world, ^(J)I also have sent them into the world. ¹⁹ For their sakes I ^(K)sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be ^(L)sanctified ^(M)in truth.

²⁰ “I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; ²¹ that they may all be one; ^(N)even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, ^(O)so that the world may ^[c]believe that ^(P)You sent Me.

Their Future Glory

²² The ^(Q)glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; ^23 (R)I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected ^[d]in unity, so that the world may ^[e]know that ^(S)You sent Me, and ^(T)loved them, even as You have loved Me. ²⁴ Father, I desire that ^(U)they also, whom You have given Me, ^(V)be with Me where I am, so that they may see My ^(W)glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before ^(X)the foundation of the world.

²⁵ “O ^(Y)righteous Father, ^[f]although ^(Z)the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that ^(AA)You sent Me;
