The answer to your question can be found in the scripture you site at John 17:11+15 where Jesus asks his father "Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one...."
Reading the rest of that scripture tells us why: "...I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.... "(John 17:11-19NIV)
Jesus asks his father to keep his followers, and all those who would one day listen to them, safe, united and strong (John 17:20-23) because life would be very difficult for Christians after Jesus died, and he knew that. Acts 20:29-30 tells us: " I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them."(NIV) "Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat'(Luke 22:31NIV )(Matthew 7:15)(2 Thessalonians 2:3)(2 Peter 2:1)
