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

    17Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth.

    18As you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.

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

    20Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who believe in me through their word,

    21that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.

    22The glory which you have given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, even as we are one;

    23I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that you sent me, and loved them, even as you loved me.

    24Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory, which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.

    7Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are from you,

    8for the words which you have given me I have given to them, and they received them, and knew for sure that I came forth from you, and they have believed that you sent me.

    9I pray for them. I don't pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.
