Notes
I want those You have given Me to be with Me: Someday, all the followers of Jesus will see his true glory and the love that has existed in heaven before the beginning of time (17:5). Jesus was returning to heaven and deeply wanted to see his disciples there so that they might witness what words on earth cannot describe.
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).
