John 17:11b, 17-23
Chapter 17
11
I will no longer be in the world, but they are in the world, and I come to you. Holy Father, keep those you have given me in your name, so that they may be one as we are one.
17
Consecrate them in the truth. Your word is truth.
18
I have sent them into the world just as you sent me into the world;
19
and for their sakes I consecrate myself, so that they also may be consecrated in truth.
20
I pray not only for them, but also for those who will believe in me through their word.
21
May they all be one just as you, Father, are in me and I am in you. May they be one in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
22
I have given them the glory you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one:
23
I in them and you in me. Then they will be perfect in unity, and the world will know that you have sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
