John 17:14-23
New International Version
14 I have given them your word and the world has hated them,(A) for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.(B) 15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.(C) 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.(D) 17 Sanctify them by[a] the truth; your word is truth.(E) 18 As you sent me into the world,(F) I have sent them into the world.(G) 19 For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.(H)
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,(I) Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.(J) May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.(K) 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me,(L) that they may be one as we are one(M)— 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(N) and have loved them(O) even as you have loved me.

John 17:14-23
King James Version
14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
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.
