John 17:1-15 After Jesus spoke to [His disciples in John.16 ], He looked up to Heaven and prayed: Father, the time has come, glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted Him authority over all people that He might give eternal life to all those you have given Him. Now this is eternal life: That they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, Whom you have sent. I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work that you gave Me to do. Now Father, glorify Me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.
I have revealed you to those whom you gave Me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to Me and they have obeyed your word. Now they know that everything you have given Me comes from you. For I gave them the words you gave Me and they accepted them. They know with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent Me. I pray for them. I Am not praying for the world, but for those that you have given Me for they are yours. all I have is yours, and all you have is Mine. And glory has come to Me through them. I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I Am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your Name- the Name-you gave Me. So that they may be one as We are One. While I was with them I protected them and kept them safe by that Name that you gave Me. None has been lost except one the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled. I Am coming to you now, but I say these things while I was in the world, So that they may have the full measure of My joy within them. I have given your word and the world hated them, for they are not of the world. My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil.
John 17:16 Jesus continued His prayer for all Believers[They are not of the world, even as I Am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: As thou has sent Me into the world, even so I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I Sanctify Myself that they also might be sanctified through the truth. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which Shall believe on Me through their word; That they all may be one, as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in them, that We may be made perfect in One; and that the world may Believe that Thou hast Send Me, and has loved Me, And has loved them, as Thou has loved Me. I gave them the glory that you gave Me. Father I will that they also, whom Thou hast given Me, be with Me where I Am; O Righteous Father, the world hath not known Thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast Sent Me. And I have declared unto them thy Name, and will declare it: That the love where with thou hast loved Me may be in them, and I in them.[Jesus prayed that God would protect His people from evil.
God loved the people of this world so much, that He sent His Son in this world to live a perfect life; and died a perfect death. to be a light in a dark world. Christ prays for those that are His. Thou gave them to Me, as sheep to the Shepherd, He is willing and able to save to the uttermost, all that come to God through Him; Christ prayed that His Believing Children be one under one Head. He prayed for Himself.The Father and the Son are One. And that the love of the Father might abide with all Believers. Jesus came to Reconcile the world to Himself, and Redeemed those that are lost. Psalm 145:5, They will speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty.] Awesome and Holy is God, in human flesh; Exalted, in glory with His Father; Matthew 16:27, For the Son for Man is going to come in His Father's glory with His angels, and then He will reward each person according to what he has done.
