τελειώσας (אABCL) for ἐτελείωσα (D).

4. ἐδόξασα. I glorified Thee on the earth, having perfected. In confident anticipation Christ looks back from the point when all shall be accomplished, and speaks of the whole work of redemption as one act. The A.V. is very capricious throughout this chapter, rendering aorists as perfects and perfects as aorists. Comp. John 17:6; John 17:8; John 17:18; John 17:21-23; John 17:25-26. For δέδωκας see on John 3:35 : Christ did not choose His work for Himself. The ἵνα indicates God’s purpose in giving it.
