New Testament

John 17:10-19 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

10. All that I have is yours, and all that you have is mine, and they will bring glory to me.

11. Holy Father, I am no longer in the world. I am coming to you, but my followers are still in the world. So keep them safe by the power of the name that you have given me. Then they will be one with each other, just as you and I are one.

12. While I was with them, I kept them safe by the power you have given me. I guarded them, and not one of them was lost, except the one who had to be lost. This happened so that what the Scriptures say would come true.

13. I am on my way to you. But I say these things while I am still in the world, so that my followers will have the same complete joy that I do.

14. I have told them your message. But the people of this world hate them, because they don't belong to this world, just as I don't.

15. Father, I don't ask you to take my followers out of the world, but keep them safe from the evil one.

16. They don't belong to this world, and neither do I.

17. Your word is the truth. So let this truth make them completely yours.

18. I am sending them into the world, just as you sent me.

19. I have given myself completely for their sake, so that they may belong completely to the truth.
