Following are a number of back-translations of John 17:9:

• Yakan: “‘O Father, I ask you for them. I do not ask for all men/mankind but only for the people you have given to me because they really belong to you.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “I beseech you because of them. I do not beseech you to help the people who do not believe in me, but rather I beseech you to help the people you have given me because they are also yours.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
