JESUS PRAYS FOR HIS DISCIPLES

John 17:6-19

6 'I have revealed You

To those whom You gave me out of the World.

They were Yours; You gave them to Me

AND THEY HAVE OBEYED YOUR WORD.

7 Now they know

That Everything You have given Me Comes from You.

8 For I gave them the Words You gave Me

And they Accepted them.

They knew with Certainty that I came from You,

And they believed that You sent Me.

9 I AM NOT PRAYING FOR THE WORLD,

BUT FOR THOSE YOU HAVE GIVEN ME,

FOR THEY ARE YOURS.

10 ALL I HAVE IS YOURS AND ALL YOU HAVE IS MINE.

AND GLORY HAS COME TO ME THROUGH THEM.

11 I will remain in the World No Longer,

But they are still in the World,

And I am coming to You.

HOLY FATHER, PROTECT THEM BY THE POWER OF YOUR NAME--

THE NAME YOU GAVE ME--

SO THAT THEY MAY BE ONE AS WE ARE ONE.

12 While I was with them

I Protected them and kept them Safe

BY THE NAME YOU GAVE ME.

None has been lost except the one doomed to Destruction

So that Scripture would be fulfilled.

13 I am coming to You now,

But I say these things while I am still in the World,

So that they may have the Full Measure of My Joy within them.

14 I HAVE GIVEN THEM YOUR WORD

AND THE WORLD HAS HATED THEM,

FOR THEY ARE NOT OF THE WORLD

ANY MORE THAN I AM OF THE WORLD.

15 My Prayer is not that You take them out of the World,

But that You Protect them from the Evil One.

16 THEY ARE NOT OF THE WORLD, EVEN AS I AM NOT OF IT.

17 SANCTIFY THEM BY THE TRUTH;

YOUR WORD IS TRUTH.

18 AS YOU SENT ME INTO THE WORLD,

I HAVE SENT THEM INTO THE WORLD.

19 For them I Sanctify Myself,

That they too may be truly Sanctified.

(John 17:6-19)

All who came to believe Christ Jesus

The Father gave to Him.

Christ did not Pray for the World,

But for those the Father had given Him.

Everything the Father has belongs to Christ Jesus

And everything that Christ Jesus has belongs to the Father.

The Protection that Christians have

Is the Power of His Name,

Lord Jesus Christ.

Christ Jesus prayed that His disciples would be One

Ad He and the Father are One.

All who receive the Word of God,

The World Hates,

Because they are not of the World

Any more than Christ is of the World.

As the Father sent Christ Jesus into the World,

Christ sends His disciples into the World.

Christ set Himself Apart from the World,

That His disciples might set themselves Apart

From the World.
