9
I pray(a) for them.
I am not praying for the world
but for those You have given Me,(A)
because they are Yours.
10
Everything I have is Yours,
and everything You have is Mine,(B)
and I have been glorified in them.
11
I am no longer in the world,
but they are in the world,
and I am coming to You.(C)
Holy(D) Father,
protect(b) them by Your name(E)
that You have given Me,
so that they may be one(F) as We are(G) one.
12
While I was with them,
I was protecting them by Your name
that You have given Me.
I guarded(H) them and not one of them is lost,
except the son of destruction,(c)
so that the Scripture(I) may be fulfilled.(J)
13
Now I am coming to You,
and I speak these things in the world
so that they may have My joy completed in them.
14
I have given them Your word.
The world hated(K) them
because they are not of the world,(L)
as I am not of the world.(M)
15
I am not praying
that You take them out of the world
but that You protect them from the evil one.(N)
