This was to fulfil the word which he had spoken, “Of those whom thou gavest me I lost not one.”
While I was with them, I kept them in thy name, which thou hast given me; I have guarded them, and none of them is lost but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled.
and this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up at the last day.
Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he; so, if you seek me, let these men go.”
