John 17:5-8

AUV(i) 5 And now, Father, honor me in your presence with the honor I had with you before the world was [created]. 6 I have revealed your name [i.e., your power and character] to the men you gave me out of the world [i.e., the apostles]. They belonged to you, but you gave them to me, and they have obeyed your word. 7 Now they know that everything you gave me came from you, 8 because I have given them the message you gave me, and they accepted it. They [also] knew for certain that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.
