Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - John 17:24-26

Here is, I. A petition for the glorifying of all those that were given to Christ (John 17:24), not only these apostles, but all believers: Father, I will that they may be with me. Observe, 1. The connection of this request with those foregoing. He had prayed that God would preserve, sanctify, and unite them; and now he prays that he would crown all his gifts with their glorification. In this method we must pray, first for grace, and then for glory (Ps. 84:11); for in this method God gives. Far... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - John 17:22-26

17:22-26 "And I have given them the glory which you gave me, that they may be one as we are one. I am in them, and you are in me, so that their unity with us and with each other may stand consummated and complete. I pray for this that the world may realize that you sent me, and that you loved them as you loved me. Father, it is my will that those whom you have given me should be with me where I am going, that they may see my glory which you gave me, because you loved me before the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 17:24

Father, I will that they also whom thou hast given me ,.... Not all the world, but a select number; not apostles only, nor as such; nor believers, or as such, for as such they were not given to Christ; nor as considered in the effectual calling; but as the elect of God, and by that eternal act of his grace; when they were given to Christ as his children, as his spouse, as his church, as the sheep of his hand, as his portion, and to be preserved by him; which is known by their calling and... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 17:25

O righteous Father ,.... God is righteous in all the divine persons: the Father is righteous, the Son is righteous, and the Holy Spirit is righteous: he is so in his nature; righteousness is a perfection of it; he is so in all his purposes and promises; in all his ways and works of providence and grace; in predestination, redemption, justification, pardon of sin, and eternal glory. Christ makes use of this epithet, as containing a reason why he might justly expect that all his petitions and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 17:26

And I have declared unto them thy name ,.... Himself, his nature, his perfections, especially of grace and mercy, his mind and will, his Gospel; See Gill on John 17:6 . A very fit person Christ was to make this declaration, since he was with him from all eternity, and was in his bosom; the Father did all in him, and his name is in him; and he is the faithful witness; nor is anything of God to be known savingly, but in and through Christ; the apostles are here particularly meant, though the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 17:24

That they may behold my glory - That they may enjoy eternal felicity with me in thy kingdom. So the word is used, John 3:3 ; Matthew 5:8 . The design of Christ is, that all who believe should love and obey, persevere unto the end, and be eternally united to himself, and the ever blessed God, in the kingdom of glory. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 17:25

The world hath not known thee - Has not acknowledged me. See on John 1:11 , John 1:12 ; (note). And these have known - Here our Lord, returning to the disciples, speaks: 1st. Of their having received him as the Messiah; read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 17:26

I have declared unto them thy name, etc. - I have taught them the true doctrine. And will declare it - This he did: 1st. By the conversations he had with his disciples after his resurrection, during the space of forty days. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 17:24

Verse 24 24.Father, I will. To will is put for to desire; (129) for it expresses not a command but a prayer. But it may be understood in two ways; either that he wills that the disciples may enjoy his eternal presence, or, that God may, at length, receive them into the heavenly kingdom, to which he goes before them. That they may behold my glory. Some explain beholding his glory to mean, partaking of the glory which Christ has. Others explain it to be, to know by the experience of faith what... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 17:25

Verse 25 25.Righteous Father. He compares his disciples to the world, so as to describe more fully the approbation and favour which they had received from the Father; for it is proper that they who alone know God, whom the whole world rejects, should be distinguished above others, and most properly does Christ plead with peculiar warmth for those whom the unbelief of the world did not prevent from acknowledging God. By calling him Righteous Father, Christ defies the world and its malice; as if... read more
