John 17:6-10

Contemporary English Version

⁶ You have given me some followers from this world, and I have shown them what you are like. They were yours, but you gave them to me, and they have obeyed you. ⁷ They know that you gave me everything I have. ⁸ I told my followers what you told me, and they accepted it. They know I came from you, and they believe you are the one who sent me. ⁹ I am praying for them, but not for those who belong to this world.^[a] My followers belong to you, and I am praying for them. ¹⁰ All I have is yours, and all you have is mine, and they will bring glory to me.
