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.[6]
Alternatively, "After Jesus had spoken these words ..." (to his disciples, in chapter 16),[8] 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),[11] 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".[12]
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]
The words "in the world" are omitted by the best authorities.[12] Judas' actions fulfill the words of Psalm 41:9:
