John 17:24

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.

25 O righteous Father! ^aThe world has not known You, but ^bI have known You; and ^cthese have known that You sent Me.

26 ^aAnd I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love ^bwith which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”
