Contextual Overview

11 And, no longer, am I in the world, and, they, are, in the world, - and, I, unto thee, am coming. Holy Father! Keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one, as, we. 12 When I was with them, I, kept them in thy name which thou hast given me, - And I kept watch, and, none from among them, went the destruction, - save the son of destruction, that, the Scripture, might be fulfilled. 13 But, now, unto thee, am I coming; and, these things, am I speaking in the world, that they may have my own joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 I, have given them thy word, and, the world, hated them, because they are not of the world - even as, I, am not of the world. 15 I request not, that thou wouldst take them out of the world, but that thou wouldst keep them out of the evil: 16 Of the world, they are not, even as, I, am not of the world.

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.
