Jesus prayed..........
JOHN CHAPTER 17 KJV
13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they ARE NOT of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them FROM THE EVIL.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
****17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.***
18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
