Notes

John 17:16–18

Sanctify: This refers to purity gained by separation from the world, and living a life so aligned with God that it reflects Disciples are set apart by God, equipped by the Spirit, and prepared by God’s word to enter the world without being victimized by its darkness.

John 17:9–19

Jesus prayed for his disciples, who must continue his work after his departure.

John 17:1–26
