The Disciples in the World

21

that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.

21

that they may be all 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.

22

Their Future Glory

“The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one;

22

And the glory which thou hast given me I have given them, that they may be one, as we are one;

23

I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me.

23

I in them and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one [and] that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and [that] thou hast loved them as thou hast loved me.

24

“Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

24

Father, [as to] those whom thou hast given me, I desire that where I am they also may be with me, that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me, for thou lovedst me before [the] foundation of [the] world.

25

“O righteous Father, although the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me;

25

Righteous Father, -- and the world has not known thee, but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

26

and I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”

26

And I have made known to them thy name, and will make [it] known; that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them and I in them.
