Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible
John 17 - Introduction
XVII.
[(3) LOVE MANIFESTED IN HIS INTERCESSORY PRAYER (John 17:1). HE PRAYS —
(a)
For Himself; the glory of the Son (John 17:1);
(b)
For the disciples; their union with the Father and the Son (John 17:6);
(c)
For all believers; their union (John 17:20); their communion with the Godhead (John 17:22); which results from the revelation to them of the Father (John 17:25).]
