John 17:6 · NASB1995“I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are. While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name which You have given Me; and I guarded them and not one of them perished but the son of perdition, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.”
John 17:11-12 · NASB1995“I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word;”
John 17:20 · NASB1995Jesus speaks of “the men whom You gave Me out of the world...they were Yours and You gave them to Me” (John 17:6). He then prays the Father would “keep them in Your name” (John 17:11-12), and extends that same prayer to everyone who would ever believe through the apostles’ word (John 17:20). John 10:29 explains why that keeping is certain: “My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.” You are treasured, not merely tolerated.
