John 17:15
Compare all
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.
17 aSanctify them by Your truth. bYour word is truth.  
18 aAs You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.  
19 And afor their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.  

Jesus Prays for All Believers

20 “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who1 will believe in Me through their word;  
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.  
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.
