(Jesus praying aloud after supper on the evening of his arrest.) 12 - “While I was with them, I kept them in your name {in THE God Most High} [onoma - name, reputation, character, cause] which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost. Except the son of destruction [apóleia - destruction, ruin, loss, perdition] that the Scripture be completed. {Kept, and guarded.} {A child of perdition .. “all the world’s a stage” Shakespeare. 13 But now I’m coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, so my joy may be in them. 14 I have given them your word [logos - message, speech, word(s), account, reason; from lego, a word, an expression of a thought; logos - reasoning expressed by words] and ‘the world has hated’ them because they’re not “of the world” just as I’m not of the world.15 I don’t ask that you take them out of the world. But that you keep them from the evil. 16 They’re not of the world, just as I’m not “of the world”.17 Sanctify [hagiazó - sanctify, make holy, consecrate, set apart, purify] {baptize!} them in the Truth. Your word is Truth.

     18 For as you sent me into the world, so I am sending them. 19 And for their sake I sanctify/dedicate myself, that they also may be sanctified in {and dedicated to} truth. 20 I don’t ask for these only, but also for all who will believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so the world may believe you have sent me. 22 The glory that you have given me I have given to them. This is so they may be one, even as we are one. 23 I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me. 24 Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you’ve given to me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father, even though the world doesn’t know you, I know you, and these know that you sent me. 26 I made known to them your name [onoma - name, character, reputation, cause] and I will continue to make it known, so the love with which you have loved me may be in them. And I in them.”

     18 After this, Jesus went out with his disciples across Kidron brook, where there was a garden (grove of olive trees). 2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often went there with his disciples.
