John 17:13-15 Part 1 of 2

"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. I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one."

I am coming to you now 
John 17:11  "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." 

so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them 
John 15:11  "I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete."
John 16:22  "So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy."
Nehemiah 8:10  Nehemiah said, "Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength."

I have given them your word and the world has hated them 
John 15:19  "If you belonged to this world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you."

for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world 
John 17:16  "They are not of the world, even as I am not of it."
John 8:23  But he continued, "You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world."
