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.

“I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world; thine they were, and thou gavest them to me, and they have kept thy word. Now they know that everything that thou hast given me is from thee; for I have given them the words which thou gavest me, and they have received them and know in truth that I came from thee; and they have believed that thou didst send me. I am praying for them; I am not praying for the world but for those whom thou hast given me, for they are thine; 10 all mine are thine, and thine are mine, and I am glorified in them. 11 And now I am no more in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name, which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. 12 While I was with them, I kept them in thy name, which thou hast given me; I have guarded them, and none of them is lost but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I am coming to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 I have given them thy word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 15 I do not pray that thou shouldst take them out of the world, but that thou shouldst keep them from the evil one.[a] 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them in the truth; thy word is truth. 18 As thou didst send me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be consecrated in truth.
