"I have revealed Your name to the men whom You gave Me out of the world; they were Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have followed Your word.

I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.

"Now they have come to know that everything which You have given Me is from You;

Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.

for the words which You gave Me I have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that I came forth from You, and they believed that You sent Me.

For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.

"I ask on their behalf; I do not ask on behalf of the world, but on the behalf of those whom You have given Me, because they are Yours;

I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

and all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them.

And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

"I am no longer going to be in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, so that they may be one just as We are.

And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

"While I was with them, I was keeping 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 would be fulfilled.

While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

"But now I am coming to You; and these things I speak in the world so that they may have My joy made full in themselves.

And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

"I 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.

I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

"I am not asking You to take them out of the world, but to keep them away from the evil one.

I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

"They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

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

"Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.

Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

"Just as You sent Me into the world, I also sent them into the world.

As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

"And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, so that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.

And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
