“I have manifested Thy name unto the men
which thou gavest me out of the world. Thine they were and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst
send me.”
“I pray for them; I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. And all mine are thine and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.”
“And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee, Holy Father. keep through thine own NAME those
whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as weare one. "
Words of Jesus, John 17:6-11
