John 17:9-16
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
9 I am asking on their behalf; I am not asking on behalf of the world but on behalf of those whom you gave me, because they are yours.(A) 10 All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I have been glorified in them.(B) 11 And now I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one, as we are one.(C) 12 While I was with them, I protected them in your name that[a] you have given me. I guarded them, and not one of them was lost except the one destined to be lost,[b] so that the scripture might be fulfilled.(D) 13 But now I am coming to you, and I speak these things in the world so that they may have my joy made complete in themselves.[c] 14 I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.(E) 15 I am not asking you to take them out of the world, but I ask you to protect them from the evil one.[d](F) 16 They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.
