John 17:9

World English Bible (WEB)

I pray for them. I don’t pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.

In context

7 Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are from you,

8 for the words which you have given me I have given to them; and they received them, and knew for sure that I came from you. They have believed that you sent me.

9 I pray for them. I don’t pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.

10 All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them.

11 I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are.
