11 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. 12 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. 13 But now I am coming to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 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. 15 I do not pray that thou shouldst take them out of the world, but that thou shouldst keep them from the evil one.[a] 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them in the truth; thy word is truth. 18 As thou didst send me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be consecrated in truth.

11 I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world,(A) and I am coming to you.(B) Holy Father, protect them by the power of[a] your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one(C) as we are one.(D) 12 While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by[b] that name you gave me. None has been lost(E) except the one doomed to destruction(F) so that Scripture would be fulfilled.(G)

13 “I am coming to you now,(H) but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy(I) within them. 14 I have given them your word and the world has hated them,(J) for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.(K) 15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.(L) 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.(M) 17 Sanctify them by[c] the truth; your word is truth.(N) 18 As you sent me into the world,(O) I have sent them into the world.(P) 19 For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.(Q)
