π [Jesus continues his prayer.] 12 - “While I was with them, I have kept them in your name [onoma - name, character, fame, reputation, cause] that you’ve given to me. I’ve guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction [apΓ³leia - destruction, ruin, loss, perdition/utter ruin {but “God is savior of all” 1Tim.4:10}] just as the scripture said.
13 But now I’m coming to you, and these things I speak while still in the world, so they may have my joy in them. 14 I’ve given them your word, your message. [LΓ³gos - from lΓ©gΕ - speaking to a conclusion - a word, being the expression of a thought, a saying, a common term - sharing a message, discourse, communication, speech, a broad term meaning 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 of it. 16 They’re noT of the world, just as I’m not of the world. 17 Sanctify (purify) {and make whole} them in the truth. Your word is truth.”
{Untruth is like an old cloth of raggedy holes? Two opposite ‘holeys’! Life versus entropy..}
18 “As you sent me into the world, so I send them into the world. 19 And for their sake I sanctify [hagiazΓ³ - sanctify, make holy, consecrate, purify, set apart] myself, that they also may be sanctified by truth.” [Sanctified “by” - (en: in, on, at, by, with, among) truth. ..Washed.]
{1Cor.3:14-17 talks about error and falsehood as polluting our temple - (Paul wrote) - “If anyone’s work they’ve done, endures, they’ll receive a reward {they’ll share in the reward?} Do you not know? You are a temple of God and the Spirit {Presence) of God dwells in you? If anyone pollutes God's temple..” ..Remember the dude who reached out his hand to steady the Ark of the Covenant? It’s best if our message is holy and not holey..? About that dude, death is as a transplanting into an as yet untilled garden awaiting resurrection “into aionion kolasis” / eonian korrection / age of correction, the GWT ‘Day’. And the person is hades/not seen, being in a (temporary) state of being gone.}
20 “I don’t ask only for these, but also for those who will believe in me through their testimony. 21 That they will all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you. That they also will be in us. And the world will believe that you have sent me. {Alas, fulfilled during long second advent? As there will be survivors of Armageddon as a thousand years later, who does the adversary go out and gather from all over the globe, to surround the millennial Jerusalem for another Armageddon ..Coincidentally, two of the three mentions of a “lake of fire” are at these two armageddon events.}
22 “The glory that you’ve given me, Father, I give to them. So that they may be one, even as we are one. 23 I in them, and you in me. That they will become perfectly one, so the world will know that you sent me and that you love them even as you love me.
24 Father, I desire [thelΓ³ - will, wish, desire, intend] that they also, whom you’ve given me, will 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 Oh righteous Father, even though the world doesn’t know you, I know you. And these know that you have sent me. 26 I made known to them your name [onomo - name, reputation, cause] and I will continue to make it known {the cause} that the very love with which you have loved me, may be in them. And I in them.”
18:1 - And when he had spoken these words, he went out with the disciples across Kidron Brook, into a garden there. 2 And Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often went there with his disciples.
