In this section, chapter 17, Jesus prayed to God his Father. He asked his Father to restore the glory that he had before he came to earth. He also asked his Father to protect his disciples from evil. He prayed for people in the future who would believe in him. He also told his Father that he wanted his disciples to always be with him.
Sometimes it is difficult to know to whom the pronouns “they” and “them” refer. Most of the time, Jesus was praying for the 11 disciples with him. However, he also prayed for all Christians, including those who would believe in him in the future. And even some of the prayers for the 11 disciples could also be thought to be prayers for future believers.
Here are some other possible Section Headings:
Jesus Prays for Himself, His Disciples, and His Church (GW)
Jesus’ prayer for his disciples
Jesus asked his Father to bless his disciples with joy, protection, and sanctification.
They are not of the world,
They are not really/actually part of this world;
They have nothing in common with this evil world;
They are not of the world: This clause indicates that Jesus’ disciples do not have anything in common with unbelievers. Unbelievers follow the values and goals of this sinful world system and the disciples do not. 17:16a repeats 17:14c. See how you translated this same clause in 17:14c.
just as I am not of the world.
just as I am not really/actually part of this world.
just as I have nothing in common with this evil world.
just as I am not of the world: This clause repeats 17:14d. See how you translated the same clause there. The disciples are like Jesus in that they both belong to God. Here is another way to translate this clause:
and neither do I (CEV)
In some languages it is more natural to place 17:16b before 17:16a. For example.
16bJust as I do not belong to the world, 16athey do not belong to the world. (GNT)

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου οὐκ εἰσὶν, καθὼς ἐγὼ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου
of the world not of the world (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου οὐκ Εἰσίν καθώς ἐγώ οὐκ εἰμί ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου)
See how you translated from the world in [17:14](../17/14.md).
17:1-26 This chapter records Jesus’ longest prayer, which is often called his “high priestly prayer.” It provides an intimate glimpse into his heart. In this prayer, which closes the farewell that began at 13:31, Jesus expressed his own concerns to his Father (17:1-8) and then turned to concerns for the church and its future (17:9-26).
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
