πŸ’₯ John 17: Jesus prays for the children of God before HE is removed from this earth.


Jesus has finished the work God gave HIM to do and soon will be crucified, raised from the dead by God, and taken into heaven.

In John 17, Jesus prays for HIS disciples which HE will leave behind on this earth, and Jesus prays for us also, all who will come to earth after the resurrection and will be HIS followers.

John 17  (Jesus says, speaking to God)

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.

9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which THOU hast given me; for they are THINE.

13 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 (the word) 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.

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.

15 I pray not that THOU shouldest take them out of the world, but that THOU shouldest keep them from the evil.

16 They 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.

20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on ME through their word;

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.

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.
