John 17:9
17:9 I am praying
on behalf of them. I am not praying
on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those you have given me, because they belong to you.
John 17:20-24
Jesus Prays for Believers Everywhere
17:20 “I am not praying only on their behalf, but also on behalf of those who believe in me through their testimony,
17:21 that they will all be one, just as you, Father, are in me and I am in you. I pray that they will be in us, so that the world will believe that you sent me.
17:22 The glory you gave to me I have given to them, that they may be one just as we are one –
17:23 I in them and you in me – that they may be completely one, so that the world will know that you sent me, and you have loved them just as you have loved me.
17:24 “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, so that they can see my glory that you gave me because you loved me before the creation of the world.
