"Christ had finished the work that was given Him to do. He had gathered out those who were to continue His work among men. And He said: “I am glorified in them. And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to Thee. Holy Father, keep through Thine own name those whom Thou hast given Me, that they may be one, as We are.” “Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on Me through their word; that they all may be one; ... I in them and Thou in Me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent Me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved Me.” John 17:10, 11, 20-23 . AA 24.1"
"I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine."
The EGW passage directly quotes John 17:10, 11, 20-23, making it an explicit allusion. The context in AA 24.1 also aligns with the themes of Christ's work and unity found in John 17.
