John 17 The Lord's Prayer
  
I pray for them: I pray not for the world,
but for them which thou hast given me; for they
are thine.
John 17:1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to
heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son,
that thy Son also may glorify thee:
-
Jesus always called God, Father
2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should
give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
-
God has given Christ power over all flesh
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only
true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work
which thou gavest me to do.
5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with
the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me
out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and
they have kept thy word.
-
The men which thou gavest me out of the world = they have kept thy word =
God very elect
-
These were chosen before the foundation of this
earth age
7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given
me are of thee.
8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and
they have received them, and have known surely that I came out
from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which
thou hast given me; for they are thine.
-
I pray for them: but for them which thou hast
given me; for they are thine.
-
I pray not for the world
10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am
glorified in them.
11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the
world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own
name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we
are.
12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name:
those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost,
but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
-
None of them is lost, but the son of perdition =
satan
13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the
world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them,
because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the
world.
-
God elect are not of this world, as I am not of
this world
15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world,
but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
-
Pray for My Elect, that Thou should keep
them from evil
-
You can plant a seed, which means teach God's word.
But It's up
to God it they can hear the word
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
-
God's elect are not of the world, even as I am not of
the world.
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent
them into the world.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might
be sanctified through the truth.
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall
believe on me through their word;
-
I pray for all that they reach and wants to
believe in the Lord
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I
in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may
believe that thou hast sent me.
-
All may be one = God's very elect are to help each
other, if you can
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that
they may be one, even as we are one:
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in
one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and
hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be
with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou
hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the
world.
25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have
known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it:
that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I
in them.
