John 17:10-23 Good News Bible Catholic Edition (GNBDK)

10. All I have is yours, and all you have is mine; and my glory is shown through them.

11. And now I am coming to you; I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world. Holy Father! Keep them safe by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one just as you and I are one.

12. While I was with them, I kept them safe by the power of your name, the name you gave me. I protected them, and not one of them was lost, except the man who was bound to be lost — so that the scripture might come true.

13. And now I am coming to you, and I say these things in the world so that they might have my joy in their hearts in all its fullness.

14. I gave them your message, and the world hated them, because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.

15. I do not ask you to take them out of the world, but I do ask you to keep them safe from the Evil One.

16. Just as I do not belong to the world, they do not belong to the world.

17. Dedicate them to yourself by means of the truth; your word is truth.

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

19. And for their sake I dedicate myself to you, in order that they, too, may be truly dedicated to you.

20. “I pray not only for them, but also for those who believe in me because of their message.

21. I pray that they may all be one. Father! May they be in us, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they be one, so that the world will believe that you sent me.

22. I gave them the same glory you gave me, so that they may be one, just as you and I are one:

23. I in them and you in me, so that they may be completely one, in order that the world may know that you sent me and that you love them as you love me.
