John 17:16

"I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one."

Key Reflection

Jesus prays for his disciples to be protected from moral and spiritual corruption, emphasizing their presence in the world rather than removal from it, so they can bear witness to God's truth despite the诱惑和试炼。通过坚守信仰,他们在逆境中彰显神的恩典与力量。
