John 17:20-26

International Children’s Bible

²⁰ “I pray for these men. But I am also praying for all people who will believe in me because of the teaching of these men. ²¹ Father, I pray that all people who believe in me can be one. You are in me and I am in you. I pray that these people can also be one in us, so that the world will believe that you sent me. ²² I have given these people the glory that you gave me. I gave them this glory so that they can be one, the same as you and I are one. ²³ I will be in them and you will be in me. So they will be completely one. Then the world will know that you sent me. And the world will know that you loved these people the same as you loved me.

²⁴ “Father, I want these people that you have given me to be with me in every place I am. I want them to see my glory. This is the glory you gave me because you loved me before the world was made. ²⁵ Father, you are the One who is good. The world does not know you, but I know you. And these people know that you sent me. ²⁶ I showed them what you are like. And again I will show them what you are like. Then they will have the same love that you have for me. And I will live in them.”
