John 17:7-11

17:7 Now they understand ¹  that everything ²  you have given me comes from you, 17:8 because I have given them the words you have given me. They ³  accepted ⁴  them ⁵  and really ⁶  understand ⁷  that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. 17:9 I am praying ⁸  on behalf of them. I am not praying ⁹  on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those you have given me, because they belong to you. ¹⁰  17:10 Everything ¹¹  I have belongs to you, ¹²  and everything you have belongs to me, ¹³  and I have been glorified by them. ¹⁴  17:11 I ¹⁵  am no longer in the world, but ¹⁶  they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them safe ¹⁷  in your name ¹⁸  that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are one. ¹⁹
