John 17:20-26
Christian Standard Bible
Jesus Prays for All Believers
20 “I pray not only for these, but also for those who believe in me through their word. 21 May they all be one,(A) as you, Father, are in me and I am in you.(B) May they also be[a] in us, so that the world may believe you sent me. 22 I have given them the glory(C) you have given me, so that they may be one as we are one. 23 I am in them and you are in me,(D) so that they may be made completely one, that the world may know you have sent me and have loved(E) them as you have loved me.(F)
24 “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am,(G) so that they will see my glory, which you have given me because you loved me before the world’s foundation. 25 Righteous Father, the world has not known you. However, I have known you,(H) and they have known that you sent me. 26 I made your name(I) known to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love you have loved me with may be in them and I may be in them.”(J)

John 17:20-26
International Standard Version
20 I ask not only on behalf of these men,[a] but also on behalf of those who will believe in me through their message, 21 so that they may all be one. Just as you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be one[b] in us, so that the world may believe that you sent me.
22 “I have given them the glory that you gave me, so that they may be one, just as we are one. 23 I am in them, and you are in me. May they be completely one, so that the world may know that you sent me and that you have loved them as you loved me. 24 Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am and to see my glory, which you gave me because you loved me before the creation of the world.
25 “Righteous Father, the world has never known you. Yet I have known you, and these men have known that you sent me. 26 I made your name known to them, and will continue to make it known, so that the love you have for me[c] may be in them and I myself may be in them.”
