John 17:20-26

New Testament for Everyone

That they may be one

²⁰ “I’m not praying simply for them. I’m praying, too, for the people who will come to believe in me because of their word. ²¹ I am praying that they may all be one—just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they too may be in us, so that the world may believe that you sent me.

²² “I have given them the glory which you have given to me, so that they may be one, just as we are one. ²³ I in them, and you in me; yes, they must be completely one, so that the world may know that you sent me, and that you loved them just as you loved me.

²⁴ “Father, I want the ones you’ve given me to be with me where I am. I want them to see my glory, the glory which you’ve given me, because you loved me before the foundation of the world.

²⁵ “Righteous Father, even the world didn’t know you. But I have known you, and these ones have known that you sent me. ²⁶ I made your name known to them—yes, and I will make it known; so that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
