Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - John 17:1-26

Chapter 17These words spake Jesus, and he lifted up his eyes to heaven ( John 17:1 ),Now He is finished with His disciples and He turns now to the Father. He said, "I am not alone; the Father is with Me." And conscious of the Father, He now offers what should be titled the Lord's Prayer, for this is indeed the Lord's Prayer. He gave to the disciples a model prayer, which is often called the Lord's Prayer. But this is the true Lord's Prayer. "He lifted up his eyes to heaven,"and he said, Father,... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - John 17:1-26

John 17:1 . Father, the hour is come, glorify thy Son. By Father the divinity is understood, the Father being the fountain of deity. The hour of my passion being come, glorify thy Son by speedily raising him from the dead, that thy Son may also glorify thee by publishing abroad thy wisdom and love in the redemption of man. John 17:2 . Thou hast given him power over all flesh, to call the gentile world to the faith, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. “I... read more

John 17:1-5These words spake JesusChrist’s prayer for HimselfI.THE CIRCUMSTANCE. 1. The place--probably the west bank of the Kidron; but to a devout soul any spot serves as an oratory (John 4:21; 1 Timothy 2:8). 2. The time--the last night of His life. Not surprising that sinful men should pray then: and comforting to know that the Sinless One then found solace in prayer. 3. The audience--not in solitude as oftentimes before (John 6:15; Matthew 14:23; Luke 9:28), or in the company of strangers... read more

John 17:3This is life eternalThe everlasting lifeI.THE INESTIMABLE BLESSING OF WHICH OUR LORD SPEAKS. Life is a great boon. “My kingdom,” a dying monarch is reported to have said, “for an inch of time.” Yet after all what is this present life in itself (James 4:14)? And when it is most eagerly prized and most hilariously spent, its possessor may in the saddest sense be dead (Romans 8:6). Eternal life is the highest possible life for man. Two causes may end our life on earth. It may be... read more

John 17:4-5I have glorified Thee on the earthThe glorification of GodThe words may be considered I.IN A MEDIATORY SENSE; so they are proper to Christ; 1. “I have glorified Thee.” Christ glorified God (1) By His person (Hebrews 1:3). (2) By His life and perfect obedience (John 8:46; John 8:49). (3) By discovering God’s mercy (John 1:14). (4) By His miracles (Matthew 9:8; Mark 15:31). (5) By His passion. (6) In His doctrine. God was much glorified in the Creation (Psalms 19:1), in His... read more

John 17:6-8I have manifested Thy Name unto the men which Thou gavest Me.Christ’s work upon earthI. ITS NATURE. The manifestation of the name of God. (John 17:6). In Himself invisible and incomprehensible (John 6:46; John 6:46; Job 37:23; Job 37:23; 1 Timothy 6:16), who and what He was must have remained a secret. Genesis 32:29; Judges 13:18), had not God been pleased to make some disclosure thereof. This He did in creation (Psalms 19:1-3; Psalms 19:1-3; Romans 1:20), and still does in... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - John 17:1

1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: Ver. 1. And lift up his eyes to heaven ] This and the like outward gestures in prayer, as they issue from the fervency of the good heart, so they reflect upon the soul, whose invisible affections by these visible actions, in the saints, are the more inflamed. Howbeit, hypocrites, though they have their hands elbow deep in the earth, will seem to... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - John 17:2

2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. Ver. 2. That he should give eternal life ] And what more free than gift? Note this against our merit mongers, who not only cry, with Novatus, Non habeo, Domine, quod mihi ignoscas, I have done nothing that thou shouldest forgive me; but with Vega, Vitam aeternam gratis non accipiam, I will not have heaven for nothing.
