New Testament

John 17:13-26 American Standard Version (ASV)

13. But now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves.

14. I have given them thy word; and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

15. I pray not that thou shouldest take them from the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil one.

16. They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.

17. Sanctify them in the truth: thy word is truth.

18. As thou didst send me into the world, even so sent I them into the world.

19. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.

20. Neither for these only do I pray, but for them also that believe on me through their word;

21. that they may all be one; even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us: that the world may believe that thou didst send me.

22. And the glory which thou hast given me I have given unto them; that they may be one, even as we are one;

23. I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that thou didst send me, and lovedst them, even as thou lovedst me.

24. Father, I desire that they also whom thou hast given me be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

25. O righteous Father, the world knew thee not, but I knew thee; and these knew that thou didst send me;

26. and I made known unto them thy name, and will make it known; that the love wherewith thou lovedst me may be in them, and I in them.
