John 17:17–21 · Berean Standard Bible

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

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

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

20 I am not asking on behalf of them alone, but also on behalf of those who will believe in Me through their message,

21 that all of them may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I am in You. May they also be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.
