Jesus Prays for His Disciples

(A)I have manifested Your name to the men whom (B)You gave Me out of the world; they were (C)Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have (D)kept Your word. Now they have come to know that everything You have given Me is from You; for (E)the words which You gave Me (F)I have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that (G)I came forth from You, and they believed that (H)You sent Me. (I)I ask on their behalf; (J)I do not ask on behalf of the world but of those whom (K)You have given Me; for (L)they are Yours; 10 and (M)all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them. 11 And I am no longer in the world; and yet (N)they themselves are in the world, and (O)I come to You. (P)Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name (Q)which You have given Me, that (R)they may be one even as We are. 12 While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name (S)which You have given Me; and I guarded them and (T)not one of them perished but (U)the [a]son of perdition, so that the (V)Scripture would be fulfilled. 13 But now (W)I come to You; and (X)these things I speak in the world so that they may have My (Y)joy made full in themselves. 14 I have given them Your word; and (Z)the world has hated them, because (AA)they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 15 I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them [b]from [c](AB)the evil one. 16 (AC)They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17 (AD)Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth. 18 As (AE)You sent Me into the world, (AF)I also sent them into the world. 19 For their sake I (AG)sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be (AH)sanctified (AI)in truth.

Jesus’ High Priestly Prayer

“I revealed your name to the men you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me, and they have held on to your word. Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. For I gave them the words you gave me, and they received them. They learned the truth that I came from you. They believed that you sent me.

“I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, because they are yours. 10 All that is mine is yours, and what is yours is mine. And I am glorified in them. 11 I am no longer going to be in the world, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by your name, which you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one. 12 While I was with them, I kept those you gave me safe in your name.[a] I protected them and not one of them was destroyed, except the son of destruction, so that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

13 “But now I am coming to you, and I am saying these things in the world, so that they may be filled with my joy. 14 I have given them your word. The world hated them, because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I am not asking that you take them out of the world, but that you protect them from the Evil One. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

17 “Sanctify them by the truth. Your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into the world, I also sent them into the world. 19 I sanctify myself for them, so they also may be sanctified by the truth.
