John 17 - Revised Standard Version(RSV)

1

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

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

18As thou didst send me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.

19And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be consecrated in truth.

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

21Jn 10.38; 17.11. that they may all be one; even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

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

23I in them and thou in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved them even as thou hast loved me.

24Jn 1.14; 17.5; Mt 25.34. Father, I desire that they also, whom thou hast given me, may be with me where I am, to behold my glory which thou hast given me in thy love for me before the foundation of the world.

25O righteous Father, the world has not known thee, but I have known thee; and these know that thou hast sent me.

26I made known to them thy name, and I will make it known, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
