ut now I come to thee, and I say these things in the
world that they may have my joy made complete in them.
3 [17:14]I have given them thy word, and the world has hated them
because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world. [17:15]I
ask not that thou wouldst take them out of the world, but that thou
wouldst keep them from evil. [17:16]They are not of the world, as I am
not of the world. [17:17]Sanctify them by thy truth; thy word is truth.
[17:18]As thou hast sent me into the world, I also have sent them into
the world: [17:19]and I sanctify myself for them, that they also may be
sanctified by truth.
4 [17:20]And I ask not for these only, but for those also who shall
believe on me through their word, [17:21]that 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 hast given me I have given them, that they may be one as we
are one, [17:23]I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected

glory which thou hast given me; because thou didst love me before the
foundation of the world; [17:25]and, righteous Father, the world has
not known thee, but I have known thee, and these have known that thou
didst send me. [17:26]And I have declared to them thy name, and will
declare it, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them,
as I also am in them.

OF HIM.
1 [18:1]JESUS having said these words went out with his disciples
across the brook Cedron, where there was a garden, into which he
entered and his disciples. [18:2]And Judas who betrayed him knew the
place, for Jesus often retired there with his disciples. [18:3]Then
Judas taking the guard and the officers of the chief priests and
Pharisees, came there with torches, and lamps, and weapons.
[18:4]Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that were coming upon him,
went out and said to them, Whom do you seek? [18:5]They answered him,
Jesus the Nazoraean. Jesus said to them, I am he. And Judas who
betrayed him stood with them. [18:6]When, therefore, he said to them, I
am he, they went backwards and fell on the ground. [18:7]Then
