²³ I will establish over them one shepherd, my servant David, and he will shepherd them. He will tend them himself and will be their shepherd.^(A)

²⁴ My servant David will be king over them, and there will be one shepherd for all of them.^(A) They will follow my ordinances, and keep my statutes and obey them.^(B)

⁵² and not for the nation only, but also to unite the scattered children^(A) of God.

¹¹ I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you.^(A) Holy^(B) Father, protect^[a] them by your name^(C) that you have given me, so that they may be one^(D) as we are^(E) one.

Jesus Prays for All Believers

²⁰ “I pray not only for these, but also for those who believe in me through their word. ²¹ May they all be one,^(A) as you, Father, are in me and I am in you.^(B) May they also be^[a] in us, so that the world may believe you sent me. ²² I have given them the glory^(C) you have given me, so that they may be one as we are one.

Unity in Christ

¹¹ So, then, remember that at one time you were Gentiles in the flesh—called “the uncircumcised” by those called “the circumcised,”^(A) which is done in the flesh by human hands.^{(B) 12} At that time you were without Christ, excluded from the citizenship of Israel, and foreigners to the covenants of promise,^(C) without hope^(D) and without God in the world. ¹³ But now in Christ Jesus, you who were far away have been brought near by the blood^(E) of Christ. ¹⁴ For he is our peace, who made both groups one^(F) and tore down the dividing wall of hostility. In his flesh, ¹⁵ he made of no effect the law consisting of commands and expressed in regulations, so that he might create^(G) in himself one^(H) new man from the two, resulting in peace. ¹⁶ He did this so that he might reconcile both to God in one body^(I) through the cross by which he put the hostility to death.^{[a] 17} He came and proclaimed the good news^(J) of peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.^{(K) 18} For through him we both have access^(L) in one Spirit to the Father.^{(M) 19} So, then, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with the saints, and members of God’s household,
