John 17:19–23 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

22 I have given them the glory You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one—

23 I in them and You in Me—that they may be perfectly united, so that the world may know that You sent Me and have loved them just as You have loved Me.
