This happened so that the words Jesus said before would come true: “I have not lost any of the ones you gave me.”
While I was with them, I kept them safe by the power of your name, the name you gave me. I protected them, and only one of them, the one worthy of destruction, was lost so that the Scripture would come true.
“I told you that I am he,” Jesus said. “So if you are looking for me, let the others go.”
Here is what the One who sent me wants me to do: I must not lose even one whom God gave me, but I must raise them all on the last day.
