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.
Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he; so, if you seek me, let these men go.”
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.
