11 And I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one, even as we are. 12 While I was with them, I kept them in thy name which thou hast given me: and I guarded them, and not one of them perished, but the son of perdition; [a]that the scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves. 14 I have given them thy word; and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 15 I [b]pray not that thou shouldest take them [c]from the world, but that thou shouldest keep them [d]from [e]the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17 [f]Sanctify them in the truth: thy word is truth. 18 As thou didst send me into the world, even so sent I them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I [g]sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth. 20 Neither for these only do I [h]pray, but for them also that believe on me through their word; 21 that they may all be one; even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us: that the world may believe that thou didst send me. 22 And the glory which thou hast given me I have given unto them; that they may be one, even as we are one; 23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that thou didst send me, and lovedst them, even as thou lovedst me.

11 I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world,(A) and I am coming to you.(B) Holy Father, protect them by the power of[a] your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one(C) as we are one.(D) 12 While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by[b] that name you gave me. None has been lost(E) except the one doomed to destruction(F) so that Scripture would be fulfilled.(G)

13 “I am coming to you now,(H) but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy(I) within them. 14 I have given them your word and the world has hated them,(J) for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.(K) 15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.(L) 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.(M) 17 Sanctify them by[c] the truth; your word is truth.(N) 18 As you sent me into the world,(O) I have sent them into the world.(P) 19 For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.(Q)

Jesus Prays for All Believers

20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one,(R) Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.(S) May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.(T) 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me,(U) that they may be one as we are one(V) 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me(W) and have loved them(X) even as you have loved me.
