John 17 is the seventeenth chapter of the Gospel of John in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. It portrays a prayer of Jesus Christ addressed to his Father, placed in context immediately before his betrayal and crucifixion, the events which the gospel often refers to as his glorification.[1] Lutheran writer David Chytraeus entitled Jesus' words "the prayer of the high priest".[2] Methodist theologian Joseph Benson calls this prayer "Our Lord’s Intercessory Prayer", because "it is considered as a pattern of the intercession he is now making in heaven for his people".[3] The New King James Version divides this chapter into three sections:
The book containing this chapter is anonymous, but early Christian tradition uniformly affirmed that John composed this Gospel.[5]
The original text was written in Koine Greek. This chapter is divided into 26 verses.
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter are:
Jesus refers to his Father six times in this chapter, calling God "Father" (Greek: πατηρ, pater), "Holy Father" (Greek: πατηρ ἅγιε, pater hagie, John 17:11) and "Righteous Father" (Greek: πατηρ δικαιε, pater dikaie, John 17:25). These are the only occurrences in the New Testament of the vocative forms αγιε and δικαιε, used in direct address to God.[7]
Alternatively, "After Jesus had spoken these words ..." (to his disciples, in chapter 16),[9] namely:
Benson suggested that "these words" refers to "the words recorded in the three preceding chapters" (chapters 14 to 16).[3]
"Over all flesh" (σαρκός, sarkos), from the noun σὰρξ (sarx),[12] becomes "all people" in the New International Version and the Good News Translation. Alfred Plummer argues that "fallen man, man in his frailty, is specially meant".[13]
Jesus explains parenthetically,[15] how they belong to the Father, although given by him to the Son. Irish Archbishop John McEvilly comments that
The Father does not lose His right over them. For, all things belonging to the Son, belong to the Father. All things the Father gave Him either in His eternal or temporal birth, belong still to the Father, on account of the unity and identity of nature, and all Divine perfections in both, in common with the Holy Ghost. And they belong to the Son; because given by the Father, whose right or claim does not cease, owing to this concession; but, remains still the same, as before.[16]
Swedish-based commentator René Kieffer distinguishes chapter 17 from the rest of Jesus' farewell discourse, referring to "a kind of timeless aspect" denoted by the words "I am no longer in the world".[2]
In verse 11b, the holiness of God, whom Jesus calls "Father", can be contrasted with "the unholiness of the world",[13] or the "unholy atmosphere" in which Jesus' disciples remain.[18] The Jerusalem Bible and Richard Francis Weymouth's version of the New Testament both suggest the reading "keep [them] true to your/thy name".[19][20]
The words "in the world" are omitted by the most reliable early texts.[13] Judas' actions fulfill the words of Psalm 41:9:
McEvilly divides Jesus' prayer into four parts: his prayers for himself (verses 1-5), for his disciples (verses 6-19), specifically for those who will come to faith through the teaching of the apostles (verse 20) and finally for the whole church (verses 21-26).[16]
