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.  
22 And the aglory which You gave Me I have given them, bthat they may be one just as We are one:  
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.

John 17:20

III. Our Lord' s Prayer for His Church, and for All Who Would Believe on His Name, Through the Preaching of the Apostles and Their Successor. John 17:20-26. See on John 17:1 (note).

Neither pray I for these alone - This prayer extends itself through all ages, and takes in every soul that believes in the Lord Jesus.

And what is it that Christ asks in behalf of his followers? The greatest of blessings: unity, peace, love, and eternal glory.
