John 17:20-26
New American Standard Bible
20 “I am not asking on behalf of these alone, but also for those who believe in Me through their word, 21 that they may all be one; (A)just as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, (B)so that the world may [a]believe that (C)You sent Me.
Disciples’ Future Glory
22 The (D)glory which You have given Me I also have given to them, so that they may be one, just as We are one; 23 (E)I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected [b]in unity, so that the world may [c]know that (F)You sent Me, and You (G)loved them, just as You loved Me. 24 Father, I desire that (H)they also, whom You have given Me, (I)be with Me where I am, so that they may see My (J)glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before (K)the foundation of the world.
25 “(L)Righteous Father, [d]although (M)the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that (N)You sent Me; 26 and (O)I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that (P)the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”

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)
