17 Sanctify them through thy truth : thy word is truth.
18 As thou hast sent me into the ■world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall be- lieve on me through their word ;
21 That they all may be one : as thou, Father, aft 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 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them: that they may be one, even as we are one:
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.
24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am : that they may he- hold my glory, which thou hast given me : for thou lovedst me be- fore the foundation of the world.
25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee ; hut I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it : that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
