Jesus Prays for His Disciples
6“I have revealed Your name to the men
You gave Me from the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have
kept Your word. 7Now they know that all things You have given to Me
are from You, 8because the words which You gave to Me, I have given
to them. They have received them and have known for certain that I came from
You. They have believed that You sent Me. 9I pray for them. I am not
praying for the world, but for those You have given Me, because they are Yours.
10“All My things are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I have been
glorified in them. 11I am no longer in the world, but they are in
the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, protect them by Your name that You have given Me, so that they may
be one just as We are. 12While I was with them I was protecting them
by Your name that You have given me. I guarded them and not one of them is
lost, except the son of destruction, that the Scripture may be fulfilled.
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. 14I have given them Your word. The world hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15I am not praying that You take them out of the world, but that You protect them from the evil one. 16They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth. 18Just as You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. 19I sanctify Myself for them, so they also may be sanctified by the truth.[1
