John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 17:10

And all mine are thine, and thine are mine ,.... Christ is speaking not of things but of persons; otherwise all the perfections of his nature as God, and all the works he did, and doctrines he taught as man, were of his Father; as all the perfections of his Father, his nature, his names, his works, his worship, were his; the same that belongs to the one belongs to the other: but persons are here meant, and these the elect of God, particularly the apostles, who were his and his Father's;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 17:11

And now I am no more in the world ,.... In the earth; which is no contradiction to his resurrection from the dead, and stay with his disciples for a while; nor to his return to judge the world at the last day; nor to his reigning on earth with his saints a thousand years; since it will not be the world as it now is, but it will be a new earth, renewed, purified and refined, and clear of the wicked inhabitants of it; and in which will only dwell righteous persons: besides, Christ was to be,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 17:12

While I was with them in the world ,.... This does not imply that Christ was not in the world now, for he was; but signifies that he was just going out of it; and that his continuance in it was very short: nor that he was, and would be no longer with his disciples; for this is to be understood of his bodily, not of his spiritual presence; in which respect Christ is with his people whilst they are on earth, and they are with him when he is in heaven: I kept them in thy name ; by his... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 17:13

And now come I to thee ,.... As in John 17:11 , which he repeats as a very great happiness to himself, and with much pleasure and joy, but not without concern for those he was parting from: and these things I speak in the world ; which he had expressed in this prayer concerning the nature of eternal life, and his power to give it to all the Father had given him; concerning the work of redemption finished by him, and the glory due unto him on that account; concerning his chosen ones,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 17:14

I have given them thy word ,.... The Gospel, and a commission and abilities to preach it, and which is a reason of what follows, namely, the world's hatred of them; because this word is not of men, nor agreeably to carnal reason; it magnifies the grace of God, and destroys boasting in men; it is against the carnal interest, worldly views and lusts of men: and the world hath hated them ; the inhabitants of the world, worldly men, such as are what they were when they first came into the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 17:15

I pray not that thou shouldest take theft of the world ,.... Either in an unusual manner, by a translation, as Enoch and Elijah were; or by death in its common form, before their time, and purely to be rid of afflictions: this he prayed not for; for he had much work for them to do, by preaching the Gospel, for the conversion of sinners and comfort of saints; and it was for his interest they should live longer; and it would make most for his glory, and be best for his chosen people and... read more

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
