“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.

(A)I have revealed 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)followed Your word. Now they have come to know that everything which 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 on the behalf of those whom (K)You have given Me, because (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 I am no longer going to be in the world; and yet (N)they themselves are in the world, and (O)I am coming to You. (P)Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name (Q)which You have given Me, so that (R)they may be one just 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 except (U)the [a]son of destruction, so that the (V)Scripture would be fulfilled.

The Disciples in the World

13 But now (W)I am coming 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, just as I am not of the world. 15 I am not asking You to take them out of the world, but to keep them away from [b](AB)the evil one. 16 (AC)They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 (AD)Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth. 18 Just as (AE)You sent Me into the world, (AF)I also sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I (AG)sanctify Myself, so that they themselves also may be (AH)sanctified (AI)in truth.
