Notes

John 17:2

All authority has been placed in Jesus’ hands (3:35); he can give eternal life as only God can (3:15; 5:21, 25–26).

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).
