(A)“I have manifested your name to the people (B)whom you gave me out of the world. (C)Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. Now they know that everything (D)that you have given me is from you. For I have given them (E)the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that (F)I came from you; and (G)they have believed that you sent me. I am praying for them. (H)I am not praying for the world but for those (I)whom you have given me, for (J)they are yours. 10 (K)All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and (L)I am glorified in them. 11 And I am no longer in the world, but (M)they are in the world, and (N)I am coming to you. (O)Holy Father, (P)keep them in your name, (Q)which you have given me, (R)that they may be one, (S)even as we are one. 12 (T)While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have (U)guarded them, and (V)not one of them has been lost except (W)the son of destruction, (X)that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now (Y)I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have (Z)my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 (AA)I have given them your word, and (AB)the world has hated them (AC)because they are not of the world, (AD)just as I am not of the world. 15 I (AE)do not ask that you (AF)take them out of the world, but that you (AG)keep them from (AH)the evil one.[a] 16 (AI)They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 (AJ)Sanctify them[b] in the truth; (AK)your word is truth. 18 (AL)As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19 And (AM)for their sake (AN)I consecrate myself,[c] that they also (AO)may be sanctified[d] in truth.

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.
