    Not one of the explanations of verse John17 11 addresses who Jesus was talking about. They all say that Jesus and the father are one, but one what? Remember,Jesus said "they are one just as we are one ". Does that mean that "they " are God too because Jesus is God? Of course not. Jesus is saying here that "they " are of one belief, just as Jesus and rof one belief.Trinitarians will use the scripture to support their trinity therory.
  • Dean on John 17 - 10 years ago
    Verse 11 brings out the oneness of God "...Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. " that is that Jesus is God the Father in human form.
  • Kavitha on John 17:3 - 10 years ago
    here clearly we can understand,17th chapter 1st and second word shows Jesus Christ is directly talking with his father,3rd scripture observe we can clearly understanding Jesus Christ is glorifying His Father. He is saying clearly you have sent me. So here is the meaning when we accept our Heavenly Father is only one God,and Jesus Christ is son of God then only we can get eternal life.
  • Osmund Akpanyung on John 17 - 10 years ago
    Jesus prays to God for our sanctification. He asks God not to take us away from the world but to sanctify us through the word. When we are sanctified and live a holy life, we have joy and peace and be protected to serve God through our Lord Jesus Christ in spirit and in truth.
  • Barbara on John 17:5 - 10 years ago
    Because of Jesus Christ we get to be Part of the Blessing
  • Darryl Moore on John 17:14 - 10 years ago
    This verse helps me out alot, about five years ago God called me to the ministry to preach.Since then there have been people who hate me and talk against me, for no reason.It still bothers me but anyone who is live right will suffer pursecution. The bible said so. But it also says when we suffer with him we will also reign with him. Be Blessed.
  • Sonne Israel on John 17:3 - 10 years ago
    Identity of God as true and having sent Christ to represent him to mankind as man. His words include me and I am drawn to him by the spirit the Father gave me. I am thankful.
  • Dan on John 17 - 10 years ago
    Jesus giving his prayer for the ones who BELIEVE in Him and follow Him and seek after Him. the ones who put down and give up the ways and insecurities and things and ultimately DEATH of this world, Oh Heavenly Father please forgive me in Christ Jesus precious oh so precious most most precious most prestigious name. Amen.
  • LORRAINE on John 17:23 - 10 years ago
    I think it is the most tremendous truth of God 's relationship to those who believe in His Son. This is the Scripture God used to draw me unto Himself and I became His child. When I first read it I prayed to God with tears in my eyes and from my heart that I wanted this relationship. Amazing God! Amazing love!
  • Rev. Autrey on John 17:25 - 10 years ago
    John 17, verse 25 says, O RIGHTEOUS FATHER, THE WORLD DOESN 'T KNOW YOU, BUT I DO, AND THESE DISCIPLES KNOW YOU SENT ME. What greater proof that the Father is not the way God talked to the people of old. If he were, Jesus could have never made this statement. What I sm saying is, Jesus is the way God spoke to us then, and the way he spaks to us now. That 's why Jesus can say to us that he is always with us, and always has been with us. What we must understand that God is a Trinity. That is, he has more than one personality. The Father is the way God makes his decisions about our salvation. The Holy Spirit is the way God inspires us to believe. But Jesus is the way God speaks to us. And furthermore, these personalities talk among themselves. This is what we see taking place in John 17. The mind of God is talking to itself, or among itself. This is what God has always done. This means that God was not lonely before he made us. He talkedto himsef. This is not a hard concept to understand. We, as limited humans, have a similiar capibility. We often talk to ourselves. So in the mind of God, we see Jesus talking to the Father. We don 't hear what the Father is saying because God never speaks to us by his personality the Father. It 's always as Jesus. This is how God speaks to us in the Book of John, "Hi, I d like to say good day to you, again. I am Jesus. The Father sends his greetings, too. " And when we ask Jesus to show us the Father, he says, "When you see me, you see the Father who sent me, " meaning the Father and Jesus are the same God. Then Jesus says, "By the way, The Holy Spirit says hi, too, " meaning that the Holy Spirit is the same God that the Father and Jesus are. I hope this will help you to know Jesus better!
  • Uwem u .johnson on John 17 - 10 years ago
    John chapter 17 is very important portion of the scripture
  • Rev. Autrey on John 17:21 - 10 years ago
    Verse 21 "My prayer for all of them is that they will be one, just as you and I are one, Father... " The basic tenant of the Christian religion is monotheism, the belief in one God. So how do you interpert Jesus ' revelation of the existence of another personality of God, the Father. It 's simple. They are the same God. As Jesus said, "You are in me, and I am in You, " meaning that God is one substance, with more than one personality. So God talks to us like this Hi, I d like to say good day to you, again. I am Jesus. The Father sends his greetings, too. And when we ask Jesus to show us the Father, he says, When you see me, you see the Father who sent me, meaning the Father and Jesus are the same God. Then Jesus says, By the way, The Holy Spirit says hi, too , meaning that the Holy Spirit is the same God that the Father and Jesus are. This is the point If we try to say that Jesus is separate from the Father, or that God is two or three separate entities, we are no longer practicing monotheism, but polytheism, or the belief in many Gods. This belief system is condemned all through the Bible, and no sincere Christian will do it. God is one, and always has been. But when he speaks to us, he says he is Jesus. May God bless you!
  • Jasper on John 17 - 10 years ago
    John 17.. Clearly Shows that the Father of Jesus Christ is the only true God and Jesus wants the Church is called ones to have oneness of mind with God as he has with Him His Father
  • Robert on John 17:5 - 10 years ago
    I believe this verse is as convincing as any found in the Bible in proving two very important points. Jesus is co eternal and was with God in the beginning of the World. Secondly, Jesus and God are two different centers of conscientiousness.Add the Holy Spirit, and you have the uni pleural Godhead that is made so patently obvious in the Bible. Oneness beleivers need to adhere.

    Whatever happened to Yahshua s beautiful prayer that they all may be one Benora
  • Nar on John 17 - 11 years ago
    I believe this is the strongest prayer ever done by someone to God, in the whole bible. Jesus knows He and the Father will be glorified soon, by Jesus sacrifice, and yet he is praying for them to the father to protect and keep them united not only for their sake, but for our sake, too. The prayer is sacred and comes deep from Jesus heart, in pain, because he knows his desciples will be scaterred if Father God doesn't do something for them. That,s why He stayed on earth and appeared to them and continued to give them courage and hope that He will not let them alone. An He didn't. On the day of Penticost He gave the Holy Spirit to all believers who were gathered , knowing what Jesus said, would do it too. Yes, He didn't leave them alone, but sent the H.S to every believer. I praise Him and the Father and the HS every day for coming into my life, Amen

  • Gordon on John 17 - 11 years ago
    This prayer is the most brilliant.
    it is progressive as it is personal
    I was saved because of this Chapter, Jesus clearly to me through it, HE was talking to me directly some 38 years ago.
  • Jess on 1 John 5:7 - 11 years ago
    John 14:7"If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him." 8Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us." 9Jesus said to him, "Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know ME, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, 'Show us the Father '?… Also in Matthew 28:18-19 it says 18And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to ME in heaven and on earth. 19"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit," All authority is given to Jesus. When Philip seen Him, He saw the Father. John 17:6 says 6"I have manifested Your name to the men whom You gave Me out of the world; they were Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. What is the Father's name? He is the same God who dwelt among us in the flesh.
  • Masilo sam mokoena on John 17 - 11 years ago
    The scriptures here shows us how Jesus complited his work of revealing the truth about God`s love to man kind and the willingness of GOD for mankind to be saved and it also shows us that it is still our responsebility also to go out and tell people about the love of God towards them so that they can also be saved because this is the great commision that we are given that is why in his prayer he says he has send us into the world and he is also praying for those who will believe in him through our Words meaning that we must always pray preach evengelise and teach the Word with boldness and power at all the time
  • Janet on John 17 - 11 years ago
    What are the similarities between Moses and Jesus according to John 14:10 17, and Exdous 3; 34-39
  • Lee Simek on John 17 - 11 years ago
    Beyond beautiful,,,it addresses truth and grace....truth is Gods word and grace is his magnificent glory unfolded to his own and all those who have faith and accept his son. It shows the intimate glory Father to Son, Son to Man and proves Jesus is our only Savior and Lord. He is also our friend and in the age to come he will be much more,,,i.e., king of kings and Lord of Lords. It aslo shows that God the Father has put everything under the Sons control,,,Jesus has all power and authority.
  • DONNA BREWER on John 17 - 11 years ago
    We must dwell together in unity because together we stand. But if divided we shall surely fall. WE must love one another as God hath loved us & still loves us. If division is among us then its like tug of war. Yes,going against each other,
  • Chuck martin on John 17 - 11 years ago
    John chapter 17,reveals his purpose in coming to earth. The importance of him reconciling us to the Father. All points to his Father. Jesus continually humbles himself in this prayer in which he is crying out to his Father. The task he was given to do.... Jesus had a part. And he was obedient to that task. Have eyes to see and ears to hear. Spiritually.
