John 17:7-9

Expanded Bible

⁷ Now they know that everything you gave me comes from you. ⁸ [^LBecause] I gave them the ·teachings [words; utterances] you gave me, and they ·accepted [received] them. They knew that I truly came from you, and they believed that you sent me. ⁹ I am ·praying for them [asking on their behalf]. I am not ·praying for [asking on behalf of] people in the world but for those you gave me, because they are yours.
