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 17:14

I have given them thy word; and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.Thy word ... The frequent use of the singular noun where the divine word is concerned is significant. Though consisting of many words (John 17:8), the word of God is nevertheless one. It is one in that it is a single composite corpus of teaching. It is one in authority, trustworthiness, and saving efficacy, it is the one word delivered by God to Christ, by Christ to the... read more

9-14. I pray for them—not as individuals merely, but as representatives of all such in every succeeding age (see on John 17:1). not for the world—for they had been given Him "out of the world" (John 17:1- :), and had been already transformed into the very opposite of it.

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

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 17:14

The revelations and teachings that Jesus had given the Eleven would be the basis for their remaining loyal, safe, and joyful. Nevertheless the world would hate them because they were no longer of the world even as the world hated Jesus because He was not of the world. The idea is not so much that the disciples’ outlook was different from the world’s but that their origin and character were since they had believed in Jesus. [Note: Morris, p. 646.] Jesus spoke of the Father and the world as... read more
