“I pray[a] for them. I am not praying for the world but for those you have given me,(A) because they are yours. 10 Everything I have is yours, and everything you have is mine,(B) and I am glorified in them. 11 I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you.(C) Holy(D) Father, protect[b] them by your name(E) that you have given me, so that they may be one(F) as we are(G) one. 12 While I was with them, I was protecting them by your name that you have given me. I guarded(H) them and not one of them is lost, except the son of destruction,[c] so that the Scripture(I) may be fulfilled.(J) 13 Now I am coming to you, and I speak these things in the world so that they may have my joy completed in them. 14 I have given them your word. The world hated(K) them because they are not of the world,(L) just as I am not of the world.(M) 15 I am not praying that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.(N)

I pray for them.(A) I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me,(B) for they are yours. 10 All I have is yours, and all you have is mine.(C) And glory has come to me through them. 11 I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world,(D) and I am coming to you.(E) Holy Father, protect them by the power of[a] your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one(F) as we are one.(G) 12 While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by[b] that name you gave me. None has been lost(H) except the one doomed to destruction(I) so that Scripture would be fulfilled.(J)

13 “I am coming to you now,(K) but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy(L) within them. 14 I have given them your word and the world has hated them,(M) for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.(N) 15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.(O)
