17:2 just as you have given him authority over all humanity, ¹  so that he may give eternal life to everyone you have given him. ²

17:9 I am praying ³  on behalf of them. I am not praying ⁴  on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those you have given me, because they belong to you. ⁵ 

John 17:11

17:11 I ⁶  am no longer in the world, but ⁷  they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them safe ⁸  in your name ⁹  that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are one. ¹⁰ 

John 17:14

17:14 I have given them your word, ¹¹  and the world has hated them, because they do not belong to the world, ¹²  just as I do not belong to the world. ¹³

17:24 “Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, ¹⁶  so that they can see my glory that you gave me because you loved me before the creation of the world ¹⁷ .

[17:2]  ¹ tn Or “all people”; Grk “all flesh.”

[17:2]  ² tn Grk “so that to everyone whom you have given to him, he may give to them eternal life.”

[17:9]  ³ tn Grk “I am asking.”

[17:9]  ⁴ tn Grk “I am not asking.”

[17:9]  ⁵ tn Or “because they are yours.”

[17:11]  ⁵ tn Grk And I.” The conjunction καί (kai, “and”) has not been translated here in keeping with the tendency of contemporary English style to use shorter sentences.

[17:11]  ⁶ tn The context indicates that this should be translated as an adversative or contrastive conjunction.

[17:11]  ⁷ tn Or “protect them”; Grk “keep them.”

[17:11]  ⁸ tn Or “by your name.”

[17:11]  ⁹ tn The second repetition of “one” is implied, and is supplied here for clarity.

[17:14]  ⁷ tn Or “your message.”

[17:14]  ⁸ tn Grk “because they are not of the world.”

[17:14]  ⁹ tn Grk “just as I am not of the world.”

[17:16]  ⁹ tn Grk “they are not of the world.” This is a repetition of the second half of v. 14. The only difference is in word order: Verse 14 has οὐκ εἰσὶν ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου (ouk eisin ek tou kosmou), while here the prepositional phrase is stated first: ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου οὐκ εἰσίν (ek tou kosmou ouk eisin). This gives additional emphasis to the idea of the prepositional phrase, i.e., origin, source, or affiliation.

[17:16]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “just as I am not of the world.”

[17:24]  ¹¹ tn Grk “the ones you have given me, I want these to be where I am with me.”

[17:24]  ¹² tn Grk “before the foundation of the world.”
