John 17 — Context

10

Everything I have belongs to you, and everything you have belongs to me, and I have been glorified by them.

11

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

12

When I was with them I kept them safe and watched over them in your name that you have given me. Not one of them was lost except the one destined for destruction, so that the scripture could be fulfilled.

13

But now I am coming to you, and I am saying these things in the world, so they may experience my joy completed in themselves.

14

I have given them your word, and the world has hated them, because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.

15

I am not asking you to take them out of the world, but that you keep them safe from the evil one.

16

They do not belong to the world just as I do not belong to the world.
