John 17:8-13 Good News Bible Catholic Edition (GNBDK)

8. I gave them the message that you gave me, and they received it; they know that it is true that I came from you, and they believe that you sent me.

9. “I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those you gave me, for they belong to you.

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.
