Now they
have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
For I have
given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them,
and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that
thou didst send me.
I pray for
them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they
are thine.
And all
mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
And now I
am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy
Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me that they may
be one, as we are.
While I was
with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I
have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the
scripture might be fulfilled.
And now
come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my
joy fulfilled in themselves.
I have
given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the
world, even as I am not of the world.
I pray not
that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep
them from the evil.
They are
not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Sanctify them
through thy truth: thy word is truth.
As thou
hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
And for
their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the
truth.
Neither
pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through
their word;
That they
all may be one; as thou, Father, art in
me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe
that thou hast sent me.
And the
glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we
are one:
