Keep Them in Your Name

6I have made your name known to the men whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.

7Now they have come to know that everything you have given me is from you.

8For the words that you gave me I have given to them, and they received them and truly came to know that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.

9I am asking on their behalf. I am not asking on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those whom you have given me, because they are yours.

10And all that is mine is yours, and what is yours is mine, and I have been glorified in them.

11And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given to me, so that they may be one, just as we are.

12While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me, and I guarded them, and not one of them perished except the son of destruction, so that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

13But now I am coming to you, and I am speaking these things in the world so that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

14I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

15I am not asking that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one.

16They are not from the world, just as I am not from the world.

17Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.

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

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