John 17:9-25 (17 in 17 verses)

 17:9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

 17:10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

 17:11 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 we are.

 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

 17:13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

 17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

 17:15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

 17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

 17:18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

 17:19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

 17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;

 17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

 17:22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

 17:23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

 17:24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

 17:25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
