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.
