John 17:9-10 . I pray for them Who have attended me as my apostles. These only he prays for here, as appears from John 17:12, where he says, he had kept all the persons he was praying for in the faith and practice of true religion, except the son of perdition; and from John 17:18, where he says, he had commissioned them to go forth into the world for the same purpose that the Father had sent him; and from John 17:20, where he expressly distinguishes them from all other believers whatever. ... read more

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 17:8

For the words which thou gavest me I have given them; and they received them, and knew of a truth that I came forth from thee, and they believed that thou didst send me.The words that thou gavest me ...

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 17:9

I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; for they are thine.I pray not for the world ...

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 17:9-10

John 17:9-10. I pray for them, &c.— The persons here prayed for, are not regenerate men in general, in opposition to the unregenerate, who are often called the world, but those good men in particular who were given to Jesus by the Father to be his apostles, and who, by that office, were distinguished from the rest of his disciples. This appears from Joh 17:12 where he says, he had kept all the persons he was praying for, in the faith and practice of his true religion, except the son of... read more
