ヨハネの福音書 17:13-23 JCB

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 17:16

They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. These words are repeated from John 17:14 , where they are given as a reason of the world's hatred to them; and here, as showing that they are exposed to the evil of it; and in both are used as an argument with his Father, that he would take notice of them, and preserve them. read more

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

Sanctify them through thy truth ,.... The Syriac version introduces this petition, with the appellation אבא , "Abba, Father": and the sanctification prayed for regards the apostles, either as ministers of the word, and may intend their separation for their work and office; for which though they were sanctified or separated from their mother's womb, and by Christ when he sent them forth, yet were to have a fresh commission and unction after our Lord's resurrection, and upon his ascension to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 17:18

As thou hast sent me into the world ,.... Which does not suppose inequality of nature, nor change of place, nor any force upon him, nor disrespect unto him, or a state of separation from his Father; but that he was before he was sent; that he was a person, a divine distinct person from his Father; and designs the manifestation of him in human nature; and shows, that as Mediator, he had a divine warrant and authority, and was no impostor: what he was sent into the world to do, was in general... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 17:19

And for their sakes I sanctify myself ,.... Which is to be understood, not of his making himself holy; for he never was a sinner, and so stood in no need of sanctification: he was made like unto us, yet without sin; he looked like a sinner, but was not one; he was traduced, charged, and treated as such, but was perfectly holy, and free from all sin; he was essentially and infinitely holy as God; and as man, he was holy in his conception and birth; he was filled with the Holy Ghost, and was... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 17:20

Neither pray I for these alone ,.... Meaning his immediate apostles and disciples, for whose preservation and sanctification he had been particularly praying in John 17:19 ; and now, that it might not be thought that these were his only favourites, and the only persons he had a regard for, and to whom his intercession and sacrifice were confined; he adds, but for them also which shall believe in me through their word : Christ is the object of true faith; which faith is not a mere... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 17:21

That they all may be one ,.... Among themselves. This may regard their unity in faith, and in the knowledge of Christ; for there is but one faith which all truly experienced souls agree in: they are converted by the same Spirit, and have the same work of grace wrought in them; and though they have not the same degree of light, and measure of spiritual knowledge, yet they agree in the main point of the Gospel, salvation alone by the Lord Jesus Christ; and such an agreement in the doctrine of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 17:22

And the glory which thou gavest me ,.... Not the glory of his deity; this is the same with his Father, what he has in right of nature, and not by gift; nor can it be communicated to creatures; this would be to make them one in the Godhead, as the three are one, which is not the design of the expression in the close of the verse: nor his mediatorial glory, which he had with the Father before the world began; this indeed was given him by the Father, but is not given to the saints: nor the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 17:23

I in them ,.... Christ is in his saints; not as he is in all the world, being the omnipresent God; or as he is in every man, communicating the light of nature as Creator; or as he is in the human nature, which is united to his divine person; or circumscriptively to the exclusion of him elsewhere; for he is in heaven, his blood is within the veil, and his righteousness without us: but he is in them, in a gracious manner, in regeneration; when he is revealed to them, formed in them, enters... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 17:14

I have given them thy word - Or, thy doctrine - τον λογον σου . In this sense the word λογος is often used by St. John. And the world hath hated them - The Jewish rulers, etc., have hated them. - Why? Because they received the doctrine of God, the science of salvation, and taught it to others. They knew Jesus to be the Messiah, and as such they proclaimed him: our Lord speaks prophetically of what was about to take place. How terrible is the perversion of human nature! Men despise... read more
