ヨハネによる福音書 17:15 JC

The Pulpit Commentary - John 17:15

Fighting, not falling. Notice— I. THE NEGATIVE PART OF THIS PRAYER . "I pray not," etc. 1. It was not his wish that they should be taken out of the material world . Although he was about to leave it, by an ignominious death, yet his death did not make theirs necessary. Their death would neither decrease nor increase his agonies. Some think that because they die that all should follow. But Christ was so far from being selfish, that he was willing to die that his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 17:15

Not removal, but safety. I. NOT REMOVAL FROM THE WORLD . 1. To many this will seem a superfluous statement . There must be many to whom it will seem a marvelous thing that any one should want to go out of the world at all. If praying to God would make it so, the young, the strong, the prosperous, the ambitious, would pray a dozen times a day that they might stay in the world. Every day thousands are going out of the world who, if they could get their own way, would stay... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 17:15

That thou shouldest take them out of the world - Though they were going into trials and persecutions, yet Jesus did not pray that they might be removed soon from them. It was better that they should endure them, and thus spread abroad the knowledge of his name. It would be easy for God to remove his people at once to heaven, but it is better for them to remain, and show the power of religion in supporting the soul in the midst of trial, and to spread his gospel among men.Shouldest keep them... read more

John 17:13-19. These things I speak in the world That is, before I leave the world; that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves I offer this prayer in behalf of my apostles, with this intention; that being heard for them, they may receive all the endowments necessary to qualify them for converting the world, and be filled with my joy, the great joy I have in being the means of saving mankind.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 17:1-26

148. Jesus’ prayer (John 17:1-26)Having announced his victory over the world (see John 16:33), Jesus now offers a prayer that reflects the triumph of his completed work. He begins by speaking of his relationship with the Father. Jesus’ work was to reveal God to the world so that people might receive eternal life through him. He prays that by dying on the cross and successfully finishing his work, he will bring glory to his Father. At the same time, his death will bring glory to himself, for it... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 17:15

I pray not that thou shouldest take them from the world, but thou shouldest keep them from the evil one.From ... is from the Greek term meaning "out of," and the obvious reason Jesus did not wish the disciples to be taken out of the world was that such a thing would have made impossible the conversion of the world. That the disciples should be kept "out of" the devil was the important thing. The whole concept underlying asceticism which arose in post-apostolic times was based on a failure to... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 17:15

John 17:15. I pray not, &c.— "My meaning is not that, on account of these difficulties, Joh 17:14 thou shouldest remove them out of the world by death; I know that the purposes of thy glory, and their own improvement and usefulness, will require their longer continuance. I only pray, that thou wouldst grant them the direction of thy Spirit, and protection of thy providence, whereby they will be preserved both from the evil of sin and temptation, and from the subtlety and malice of the evil... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 17:6-19

2. Jesus’ requests for the Eleven 17:6-19Jesus’ glorification depended on the wellbeing of those whom the Father had given to Him (John 17:2). Consequently Jesus prayed for them too. He made several requests for them but first expressed the reasons He was praying for them and why He wanted the Father to grant His requests.The length of this section of the prayer suggests that Jesus had greater concern for His disciples’ welfare than for His own."Jesus prayed for His disciples before He chose... read more
