Pray for & Know the Glory of God (17:4-5, 24)

Pray for & Know the Protection of God (17:6-16)

John 17:11-12 – Now I am departing from the world; they are staying in this world, but I am coming to you. Holy Father, you have given me your name; now protect them by the power of your name so that they will be united just as we are. During my time here, I protected them by the power of the name you gave me. I guarded them so that not one was lost

Pray for & Know the Holiness of God (17:17-19)

John 17:17-19 – Make them holy by your truth; teach them your word, which is truth. Just as you sent me into the world, I am sending them into the world. And I give myself as a holy sacrifice for them so they can be made holy by your truth.

Hebrews 4:15 – This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin.

Pray for & Know the Unity of God (17:20-23)

John 17:22 – I have given them the glory you gave me, so they may be one as we are one. 

John 17:23 – I am in them and you are in me. May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me.

Pray for & Know the Love of God (17:23-26)

John 17:24 – Father, I want these whom you have given me to be with me where I am. Then they can see all the glory you gave me because you loved me even before the world began!

John 17:25-26 – O righteous Father, the world doesn’t know you, but I do; and these disciples know you sent me. I have revealed you to them, and I will continue to do so. Then your love for me will be in them, and I will be in them.
