John 17:6-19

The Son’s High Priestly Prayer: Glory, Preservation, Sanctification, Unity, Mission, and Love

Jesus prays first for his own glorification in order to glorify the Father, then for the preservation and sanctification of the disciples given to him, and finally for all future believers to be united, glorified, loved, and brought to behold his glory.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

6I have revealed Your name to those You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours; You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.

7Now they know that everything You have given Me comes from You.

8For I have given them the words You gave Me, and they have received them. They knew with certainty that I came from You, and they believed that You sent Me.

9I ask on their behalf. I do not ask on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those You have given Me; for they are Yours.

10All I have is Yours, and all You have is Mine; and in them I have been glorified.

11I will no longer be in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, protect them by Your name, the name You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one.

12While I was with them, I protected and preserved them by Your name, the name You gave Me. Not one of them has been lost, except the son of destruction, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.

13But now I am coming to You; and I am saying these things while I am in the world, so that they may have My joy fulfilled within them.

14I have given them Your word and the world has hated them. For they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

15I am not asking that You take them out of the world, but that You keep them from the evil one.

16They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

17Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth.

18As You sent Me into the world, I have also sent them into the world.

19For them I sanctify Myself, so that they too may be sanctified by the truth.
