ヨハネによる福音書 17:4-9 JC

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 17:5

And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self ,.... Not with his perfections, these he had, they dwelt bodily in him; or with his nature, in which he was one with him; but as Mediator, with his glorious presence in heaven, by setting him at his right hand, and crowning him with glory and honour. The Jews have a notion that God will give to the King Messiah, מן הכבוד של מעלה , "of the supreme glory" F7 Midrash Tillim in Psal. 20 apud Galatin. de Arcan. Cathol. Ver. l. 3.... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 17:6

I have manifested thy name ,.... Not the "Nomen Tetragrammaton", the name of four letters, the name "Jehovah", and which the Jews call "Shemhamphorash", and say is ineffable, and to be pronounced by Adonai; who also speak of other names, and say F9 Shaare ora, fol. 1. 3. , "truly the former wise men had holy names, which they received from the prophets, as the name of "seventy two" letters, and the name of "forty two" letters, and the name of "twelve" letters, and many other holy... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 17:7

Now they have known ,.... The Syriac version reads it ידעת , "I have known"; and so the Persic and Gothic versions, contrary to most copies and other versions, which read, as we render, "they have known", that is, the disciples and apostles of Christ: that all things whatsoever thou hast given me ; all temporal things, the world and the fulness of it; all power in heaven, and in earth, or a power of disposing of all things for his own service, as Mediator; all spiritual things, the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 17:8

For I have given unto them the words ,.... Not commands, but doctrines; and these not the doctrines of men; nor any of the divers and strange doctrines; but what are called in Scripture the doctrine of God, of Christ, of the apostles, are agreeably to the Scriptures, and according to godliness; and are styled the word of truth, of faith, of righteousness, of peace and reconciliation, of life and salvation, and of the Gospel; and which Christ gave to his disciples, and gifts along with them... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 17:9

I pray for them ,.... This is to be understood of Christ, not as God; for as such he is the object of prayer; nor need he pray to any other; nor is there any superior to him under that consideration to pray unto; but as man and Mediator: nor is his praying any argument against his deity; nor proof of inferiority to his Father with respect to his divine nature; since it is not in that, but in his human, nature, that he prayed; though this may be ascribed to his whole person as Godman; hence... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 17:4

I have glorified thee - Our Lord, considering himself as already sacrificed for the sin of the world, speaks of having completed the work which God had given him to do: and he looks forward to that time when, through the preaching of his Gospel, his sacrifice should be acknowledged, and the true God should be known and worshipped by the whole world. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 17:5

Before the world was - That is, from eternity, before there was any creation - so the phrase, and others similar to it, are taken in the sacred writings; see John 17:24 ; Psalm 90:2 ; Ephesians 1:4 . See John 1:1 . Let the glory of my eternal divinity surround and penetrate my humanity, in its resurrection, ascension, and in the place which it is to occupy at thy right hand, far above all creatures, Philemon 2:6 , Philemon 2:9 . read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 17:8

I have given - them the words - I have delivered thy doctrine to them, so that they have had a pure teaching immediately from heaven: neither Jewish fables nor fictions of men have been mingled with it. And have known surely - Are fully convinced and acknowledge that I am the promised Messiah, and that they are to look for none other; and that my mission and doctrine are all Divine, John 17:7 , John 17:8 . read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 17:9

I pray not for the world - I am not yet come to that part of my intercession: see John 17:20 . I am now wholly employed for my disciples, that they may be properly qualified to preach my salvation to the ends of the earth. Jesus here imitates the high priest, the second part of whose prayer, on the day of expiation, was for the priests, the sons of Aaron: see on John 17:1 ; (note). These words may also be understood as applying to the rebellious Jews. God's wrath was about to descend... read more
