* "I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world ; thine they were , and thou gavest them to me , and they have kept thy word . * Now they know that everything that thou hast given me is from thee ; * for I have given them the words which thou gavest me , and they have received them and know in truth that I came from thee ; and they have believed that thou didst send me . * I am praying for them ; I am not praying for the world but for those whom thou hast given me , for they are thine ; * all mine are thine , and thine are mine , and I am glorified in them . * And now I am no more in the world , but they are in the world , and I am coming to thee . Holy Father , keep them in thy name , which thou hast given me , that they may be one , even as we are one . * While I was with them , I kept them in thy name , which thou hast given me ; I have guarded them , and none of them is lost but the son of perdition , that the scripture might be fulfilled . * But now I am coming to thee ; and these things I speak in the world , that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves . * I have given them thy word ; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world , even as I am not of the world . * I do not pray that thou shouldst take them out of the world , but that thou shouldst keep them from the evil one . * They are not of the world , even as I am not of the world . * Sanctify them in the truth ; thy word is truth . * As thou didst send me into the world , so I have sent them into the world . * And for their sake I consecrate myself , that they also may be consecrated in truth .
