ヨハネの福音書 17:13-23 JCB

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 17:15

That thou shouldest take them out of the world - They must not yet leave the land of Judea: they had not as yet borne their testimony there, concerning Christ crucified and risen again from the dead. To take them away before this work was finished would not answer the gracious design of God. - Christ does not desire that his faithful apostles should soon die, and be taken to God. No: but that they may live long, labor long, and bring forth much fruit. He does not intimate that they... read more

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

Sanctify them - Ἁγιασον , from α , negative, and γη , the earth. This word has two meanings: It signifies to consecrate, to separate from earth and common use, and to devote or dedicate to God and his service. It signifies to make holy or pure. The prayer of Christ may be understood in both these senses. He prayed - That they might be fully consecrated to the work of the ministry, and separated from all worldly concerns. That they might be holy, and patterns of all holiness... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 17:18

As thou hast sent me - so have I also sent them - The apostles had the same commission which Christ had, considered as man - they were endued with the same Spirit, so that they could not err, and their word was accompanied with the same success. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 17:19

I sanctify myself - I consecrate and devote myself to death - that I may thereby purchase eternal salvation for them. There seems to be here an allusion to the entering of the high priest into the holy of holies, when, having offered the sacrifice, he sprinkled the blood before the ark of the covenant. So Jesus entered into the holiest of all by his own blood, in order to obtain everlasting redemption for men: see Hebrews 9:11-13 . The word, ἁγιαζω , to consecrate or sanctify, is used... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 17:21

That they all may be one - This prayer was literally answered to the first believers, who were all of one heart and of one soul: Acts 4:32 . And why is it that believers are not in the same spirit now? Because they neither attend to the example nor to the truth of Christ. That the world may believe - are have already seen that the word, κοσμος , world, is used in several parts of this last discourse of our Lord to signify the Jewish people only. Christ will have all his members to... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 17:22

And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them - That is, the power to work miracles, and to preach unadulterated truth, say some; but as our Lord is not here praying for the disciples, but for all those who should believe on him through their word, John 17:20 , it is more natural to understand the passage thus. As Christ, according to his human nature, is termed the Son of God, he may be understood as saying: "I have communicated to all those who believe, or shall believe in me, the... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 17:13

Verse 13 13.And these things I speak in the world. Here Christ shows that the reason why he was so earnest in praying for his disciples was, not that he was anxious about their future condition, but rather to provide a remedy for their anxiety. We know how prone our minds are to seek external aids; and if these present themselves, we eagerly seize them, and do not easily suffer ourselves to be torn from them. Christ, therefore, prays to his Father in the presence of his disciples, not because... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 17:14

Verse 14 14.I have given them thy word. He employs a different argument in pleading with the Father on behalf of the disciples. It is, because they need his assistance on account of the hatred of the world. He likewise declares the cause of that hatred to be, that they have embraced the word of God, which the world cannot receive; as if he had said, “It belongs to thee to protect those who, on account of thy word, are hated by the world.” We must now keep in remembrance what we have lately... read more
