VI.
Jesus mentions several groups and to that he adds some information regarding them.
What do you make of –
“given them your word …”
“the world has hated …”
“belong not to the world …”
“protect them from the evil [one] …”
“Sanctify them …”
“Sanctify them in truth …”
“sent me/them into the world …”
“sanctified in truth …”
“on behalf of those who will believe …”
“that they all my be one …”
“you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us …”
“glory that you have given me I have given them …”
“completely one …”
There’s more!
