John 17:9 - Forerunner Commentary

John 17:9

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.

10 And all Mine are Yours, and ^aYours are Mine, and I am glorified in them.

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.
