Notes

John 17:19

I sanctify Myself: Priests and prophets were similarly set apart for service to God (Leviticus 8:30; Jeremiah 1:5). Jesus again committed himself to God's mission. He recognized that he was set apart for the purpose of the cross. The disciples would benefit because his death would enable them to experience new holiness in a deep attachment to God.

John 17:9–19

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

John 17:1–26

This chapter contains the longest prayer of Jesus. People often refer to it as the "high priestly prayer." The prayer shows the deepest concerns and purposes of Jesus.

This prayer concludes his last words that began at 13:31. Jesus expressed his own concerns to his Father (17:1–8). He then expressed concerns for the church and its future (17:9–26).
