Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 17:6

Have manifested thy name - The word “name” here includes the attributes or character of God.

Thomas Constable

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

Jesus viewed these disciples as those whom God had given to Him out of the world (cf. John 6:37; John 15:19), not as those who had chosen to follow Him.
