  • All who accept the Son and embrace the Father will experience the kind of love known only between the Father and the Son.

  • I in them: Jesus loves his followers and wants to fill them with glory and joy that compares to nothing in the world.

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).
