7 Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You.
8 For I have given to them the words awhich You have given Me; and they have received them, band have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that cYou sent Me.
9 “I pray for them. aI do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours.
11 aNow I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, bkeep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one cas We are.
12 While I was with them in the world, aI kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and bnone of them is lost cexcept the son of perdition, dthat the Scripture might be fulfilled.
13 But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves.
14 I have given them Your word; aand the world has hated them because they are not of the world, bjust as I am not of the world.
15 I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but athat You should keep them from the evil one.
16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
18 aAs You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.
Jesus Prays for All Believers
21 athat they all may be one, as bYou, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.
23 I in them, and You in Me; athat they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.
24 a“Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; bfor You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
25 O righteous Father! aThe world has not known You, but bI have known You; and cthese have known that You sent Me.
