Contextual Overview

11 Henceforth I am not in the world; but these are in the world, and I go to thee. Holy Father, keep them in that thy name, which thou hast given to me; that they may be one, as we are. 12 While I have been with them in the world, I have kept them in thy name. Those thou gavest me, have I kept; and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that my joy may be complete in them. 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 wouldst take them out of the world, but that thou wouldst keep them from evil: 16 for they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

Bible Verse Review

Cross-References

Romans 9:9
For the word of promise was this: At that time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
1 Peter 3:6
just as Sarah was subject to Abraham, and called him, My lord: whose daughters ye are, by good works, while ye are not terrified by any fear.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. These words are repeated from John 17:14, where they are given as a reason of the world's hatred to them; and here, as showing that they are exposed to the evil of it; and in both are used as an argument with his Father, that he would take notice of them, and preserve them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See John 15:19.
