17 1 Christ prayeth that his glory together with his Father’s may be made manifest. 9 He Prayeth for his Apostles,  20 and for all believers.

These [a]things spake Jesus, and lift up his eyes to heaven, and said, [b]Father, that hour is come: glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee,

(A)As thou hast given him power over [c]all flesh, that he should give eternal life to all them that thou hast given him.

Footnotes

  1. John 17:1 Jesus Christ the everlasting high Priest being ready straightway to offer up himself, doth by solemn prayers consecrate himself to God the Father as a sacrifice: and us together with himself. Therefore this prayer was from the beginning, is, and shall be to the end of the world, the foundation and ground of the Church of God.
  2. John 17:1 He first declareth, that as he came into the world to the end that the Father might show in him, being apprehended by faith, his glory in saving his elect, so he applied himself to that only: and therefore desireth of the Father, that he would bless the work which he hath finished.
  3. John 17:2 Over all men.
