John 17:20-21

"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."

that all of them may be one 
Jeremiah 32:39  "I will give them a singleness of heart and action, so that they will always fear me and that all will then go well for them and for their children after them."

just as you are in me and I am in you 
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."
John 10:38  "But if I do them, (the works of my Father) even though you do not believe me, believe the works that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father."

May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me 
John 17:23b  "Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me."
John 6:29  Jesus answered, "The work of God is to believe in the one he has sent."
John 10:36  "... what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, 'I am God's Son'?"

John 11:42  "I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me."
