John 17:3-19
Christian Standard Bible
3 This is eternal life: that they may know you, the only(A) true(B) God, and the one you have sent(C) —Jesus Christ.(D) 4 I have glorified you on the earth by completing the work you gave me to do. 5 Now, Father,(E) glorify me in your presence with that glory(F) I had with you before the world existed.(G)
Jesus Prays for His Disciples
6 “I have revealed your name(H) to the people you gave me(I) from the world.(J) They were yours, you gave them to me,(K) and they have kept your word.(L) 7 Now they know that everything you have given me is from you, 8 because I have given them the words you gave me.(M) They have received them and have known for certain that I came from you.(N) They have believed that you sent me.
9 “I pray[a] for them. I am not praying for the world but for those you have given me,(O) because they are yours. 10 Everything I have is yours, and everything you have is mine,(P) and I am glorified in them. 11 I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you.(Q) Holy(R) Father, protect[b] them by your name(S) that you have given me, so that they may be one(T) as we are(U) one. 12 While I was with them, I was protecting them by your name that you have given me. I guarded(V) them and not one of them is lost, except the son of destruction,[c] so that the Scripture(W) may be fulfilled.(X) 13 Now I am coming to you, and I speak these things in the world so that they may have my joy completed in them. 14 I have given them your word. The world hated(Y) them because they are not of the world,(Z) just as I am not of the world.(AA) 15 I am not praying that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.(AB) 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.(AC) 17 Sanctify(AD) them by the truth; (AE) your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into the world,(AF) I also have sent them into the world. 19 I sanctify myself for them, so that they also may be sanctified by the truth.
