"Holy Father, keep those you have given me true to your name, so that they may be one like us. While I was with them, I kept those you had given me true to your name" (John 17:11-12).
In Sunday’s Gospel, our lectionary translation opts for a variant in the manuscript tradition, but the other option is worth investigating, especially since it has become the more accepted text.
The other option would read "Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me."
