John 17:11-12

"I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one. While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by the name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled."

I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world 
John 13:1  It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go the the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

and I am coming to you 
John 17:13  "I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them."
John 7:33  Jesus said, "I am with you for only a short time, and then I am going to the one who sent me."

Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one 
John 17:20-23  "My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one--I in them and you in me--so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me."
Psalm 133:1  How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity!

as we are one 
John 10:30  "I and the Father are one."

None has been lost 
John 6:39  "And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me."

except the one doomed to destruction 
John 6:70-71  Then Jesus replied, "Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!"

so that Scripture would be fulfilled 
John 13:18  "I am not referring to all of you; I know those I have chosen. But this is to fulfill this passage of Scripture: 'He who shared my bread has turned against me.' (Psalm 41:9)"
John 13:26  Jesus answered, "It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish." Then, dipping the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
