Jesus Prays for His Disciples

“I have revealed your name(A) to the people you gave me(B) from the world.(C) They were yours, you gave them to me,(D) and they have kept your word.(E) Now they know that everything you have given me is from you, because I have given them the words you gave me.(F) They have received them and have known for certain that I came from you.(G) They have believed that you sent me.

“I pray[a] for them. I am not praying for the world but for those you have given me,(H) because they are yours. 10 Everything I have is yours, and everything you have is mine,(I) 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.(J) Holy(K) Father, protect[b] them by your name(L) that you have given me, so that they may be one(M) as we are(N) one. 12 While I was with them, I was protecting them by your name that you have given me. I guarded(O) them and not one of them is lost, except the son of destruction,[c] so that the Scripture(P) may be fulfilled.(Q) 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(R) them because they are not of the world,(S) just as I am not of the world.(T) 15 I am not praying that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.(U) 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.(V) 17 Sanctify(W) them by the truth; (X) your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into the world,(Y) I also have sent them into the world. 19 I sanctify myself for them, so that they also may be sanctified by the truth.

“I have made your name known to those whom you gave me from the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.(A) Now they know that everything you have given me is from you, for the words that you gave to me I have given to them, and they have received them and know in truth that I came from you, and they have believed that you sent me.(B) 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.(C) 10 All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I have been glorified in them.(D) 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.(E) 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.(F) 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.(G) 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](H) 16 They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world. 17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. 18 As you have sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.(I) 19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, so that they also may be sanctified in truth.
