John 17

Bible in Basic English (BBE)

20 Ref My prayer is not for them only, but for all who will have faith in me through their word;

21 Ref May they all be one! Even as you, Father, are in me and I am in you, so let them be in us, so that all men may come to have faith that you sent me.

22 Ref And the glory which you have given to me I have given to them, so that they may be one even as we are one;

23 Ref I in them, and you in me, so that they may be made completely one, and so that it may become clear to all men that you have sent me and that they are loved by you as I am loved by you.

24 Ref Father, it is my desire that these whom you have given to me may be by my side where I am, so that they may see my glory which you have given to me, because you had love for me before the world came into being.

20 Ref Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who believe in me through their word,

21 Ref that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.

22 Ref The glory which you have given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, even as we are one;

23 Ref I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that you sent me, and loved them, even as you loved me.

24 Ref Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory, which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.
