---Here Jesus is Praying to the Father, ASKING His Father to glorify him, so He can glorify Him...it is simple to see if you are not in the dark...and your intentions are perfect in seeking Jesus Christ's heart which is LIFE everlasting for He is as He said in the ch.11 ...I. AM. THE. RESURRECTION. AND. THE. LIFE. ...
2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that HE. SHOULD. GIVE. ETERNAL. LIFE. TO. AS. MANY. AS. THOU. HAST. GIVEN. HIM.
---Hence v2 the meaning of the Baptism of John 3 manifested on Day of Pentecost Acts 2...and this case v39 is so special...For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.~Acts 2:39
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
---Jesus Christ fulfilled all He was given to do by the Heavenly Father He fulfilled His will...and then the ultimate...of the rest...so the Holy Ghost could be given...the manifestation of Isaiah 53...
5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee BEFORE the world was.
---hence: Here is God praying to the Father and reminding of the glory before the Earth and more, it is God praying...this is the deep part within because He remembers and sees since the Beginning, but He is His son, because it is God robed in flesh, the flesh side is what is praying for he feels everything we feel, and a lot of mysterious things is happening with the cognition within God's mind hence he said: BEFORE ABRAHAM WAS, I AM
6 I have manifested THY NAME unto the men which THOU GAVEST me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
---Jesus acknowledges all has been given Him by the Father and then ALSO He manifested the ALMIGHTY's NAME...for NONE knew His Name...
7 NOW THEY HAVE KNOWN THAT ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER THOU HAST GIVEN ME ARE OF THEE.
8 For I have given unto them the WORDS which thou GAVEST me; and they have received them, and have known surely THAT I CAME OUT FROM THEE, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
---Jesus is clearly confirming and stating that his disciples know that he came from GOD...and that He sent him...for the "willingly" received his words...
9 I PRAY FOR THEM: I pray NOT for the world, BUT FOR THEM WHICH THOU HAST GIVEN ME; for they are thine.
---HE GIVES THEM BACK TO GOD. A DEDICATION OF ALL BACK TO THE FATHER...SEE v10...
10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
11 And now I AM NO MORE in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, KEEP THROUGH THINE OWN NAME those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are
Here Jesus is stating and calling things "as though they were" for He is NO longer in the WORLD, but His Disciples are left in the world, and He is going to the FATHER in the Utter Heavens. Then He request that God Keep those of HIS NAME and them that God has given Him such as the 12, and more, He prayed even for Judas Iscariot, but he didn't repent...However as I just realized at this point Judas was not numbered with them at this time...he was busy betraying the Lord for 30 pieces of silver...behold the answer will come...
12 While I was with them in the world, I KEPT THEM IN THY NAME: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and NONE OF THEM IS LOST, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
---BINGO!...and here is the answer...of Judas Iscariot...(amazion Riot is in his name) this verse just stated where He was...and None of them is lost...BUT THE SON OF PERDITION; HENCE Judas Iscariot but none at this time could perceive who it was. Howbeit I just saw it myself...
13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have MY JOY fulfilled in themselves.
14 I HAVE GIVEN THEM THY WORD; AND THE WORLD HATH HATED THEM, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT OF THE WORLD, EVEN AS I AM NOT OF THE WORLD.
15 I PRAY NOT that thou shouldest TAKE THEM OUT of the WORLD, but that thou SHOULDEST KEEP them from THE EVIL.
---for them to fulfill their purpose in God's Kingdom, and to keep them from all evil ...Acts 1:8 being witnesses unto the uttermost parts of the earth...
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
---They became His and became born again, and you are not of this world but of God's kingdom and cause, You are in the world but not of the world...So Peter, John, Matthew, Mark, and Paul and all the others were in the world but the level they received they were Never ever be the same...they are in it but NOT OF IT...
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
---SO THE BIBLE IS THE TRUTH...IT WILL SANCTIFY YOU AND CLEANSE YOU BY THE WASHING OF THE WORD...IT LEADS YOU TO THE BAPTISM IT ALWAYS WILL...HENCE V2 IS WHY HE DIED FOR US TO HAVE ABUNDANT LIFE...V19 SHOWS AND V20 HE PRAYS FOR ALL THAT BELIEVE ON THEIR WORDS PETER'S PAUL'S ALL OF THEM WHICH PREACHED THE GOSPEL...
18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
19 And for THEIR SAKES I SANCTIFY myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
---Here He is Sanctifying Himself for their sakes, that they also maybe sanctified through Truth of the Holy GHOST when the HOLY GHOST falls so it is the SPIRIT of TRUTH as well...Per these references..John 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:---John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. ---HENCE---Ephesians 1:12-14 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. ---which is Acts 2:39--- 2 Thessalonians 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of THE GLORY of our LORD JESUS CHRIST. ----DID HE NOT SAY I GIVE YOU (((( MY GLORY )))) v22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: as follows in the v23 and v24 for all WHO bare the NAME as He instructed...Just seek Jesus' Face He will confirm.
20 Neither pray I for these alone, BUT FOR THEM ((( ALSO ))) which shall believe on me through THEIR word;
---His disciples, Peter, John, Mark, Matthew, Paul, Luke, and Timothy, and so on...is whom "Their Word" is referring...
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: THAT THE (((( WORLD )))) MAY BELIEVE THAT THOU HAS SENT ME.
---See to this day many don't believe Jesus Christ is the ALMIGHTY...due to satan's deceptions and the imposter of so many false identities through this or that idol which is an idea, not even a god which is a human in God's eyes for we know good and evil, but an Idol don't even have a brain. It is nothing but a lies of which satan fills our minds with; Hence an imposter...it all traces back to satan...the father of ALL Lies...His word is TRIED and PROVEN...and DONT WORRY anything that is NOT Jesus Christ is the spirit of the anti-christ ...1 John 2...it is and has been declared so you know...for it is the ONLY NAME under Heaven whereby we Must be saved for all others is false and has so been declared...and proven Even Paul said beware lest an angel of light deceive you for lucifer was an angel of light...the only book he knows is the bible for he believes and trembles at the name...James 2...you can't have His glory or understand the WAY of GOD's Kingdom of HOW it Works it the highest is Romans 15:18-20 and all the Epistles ...Acts 2:38 is the DOOR of John 10, and is the Evidence of John 3 of which He spoke the Entire Chapter of John 3...is why He gave HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON...just LISTEN and READ and PONDER JOHN 17 this is HIS WRITTEN & OPEN PRAYER...for all To know and SEE and ponder out the very meaning...
22 And the GLORY WHICH THOU GAVEST ME I have GIVEN THEM; that they may be one, even as we are one:
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the WORLD may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
24 Father, I WILL THAT THEY ALSO, whom thou hast given me, BE WITH ME WHERE I AM; that they MAY BEHOLD MY GLORY, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
---Whom thou hast given me is who bares His Name...of John3, 10 which is the Door to the Kingdom is Acts 2:38...as He stated then prayed for the Spirit of Truth to testify of it and give them understanding...Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, and today...so all this is still today...and is the Jesus Christ of 0-77 A.D. Honestly it is 1-77 A.D. ...see in v9 He clearly says "I pray NOT for the World" ...for the world is already cursed AND IT'S destiny is laid out...but when you are born into the Kingdom you are not of this world but only in it...Hence the Saying Once I was blind Now I see...and this Prayer of John 17 then APPLIES TO YOU...AND ALL THAT SEEK HIM OUT TRUFULLY...
25 O RIGHTEOUS FATHER, the WORLD HATH NOT KNOWN THEE: but I have known thee, and THESE HAVE KNOWN that thou hast sent me.
---His Disciples and the others which believed is whom Jesus was praying for as "These Have KNOWN"...and they DECLARED His Name in ACTS 2, then IN ACTS 4 they were ALREADY saying such as so EVEN TODAY just don't say the NAME,...which MEANS His NAME is the SAME YESTERDAY day and FOREVER...for it Confronts EVILS in the utter secret degrees and the Open Obvious Degrees before all...JESUS CHRIST...
26 And I HAVE DECLARED UNTO THEM THY NAME, AND WILL DECLARE IT: THAT THE LOVE WHEREWITH THOU HAST LOVED ME MAY BE IN THEM, AND I IN THEM.
---v26 That Name is always being declared and by evidence of the Holy Ghost is the Gift of ALL love in accordance with the ways of the commandments the greatest and the second...which gives righteous Mercy and Grace over matters through God...for He will give the Understanding of all matters and levels of which is before you...and TRUST HIM for when you can't see remember John 10:4...I can see and know Jesus Christ would get frustrated but he studied to be quiet and channeled that frustration into the direction in which it should grow...He didn't seek out them about him of knowledge for He reached into the heavens...some would say, well he is God...but he was giving us an example...His Name JESUS CHRIST is still be declared!
