Therefore this prayer was from the beginning, is, and will be to the end of the world, the foundation and ground of the Church of God.words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said,He first declares that as he came into the world so that the Father might show in him (being apprehended by faith) his glory in saving his elect, so he applied himself to that only: and therefore he desires from the Father that he would bless the work which he had finished.Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:

3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee theHe calls the Father the only true God in order to set him against all false gods, and to include himself and the Holy Spirit, for he immediately joins the knowledge of the Father and the knowledge of himself together, and according to his accustomed manner sets forth the whole Godhead in the person of the Father. So is the Father alone said to be King, immortal, wise, dwelling in light which no man can attain unto, and invisible; (Rom_16:27; 1Ti_1:17).only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

6 First of all he prays for his disciples by whom he would have the rest of his disciples gathered together, and commends them unto the Father (having already rejected the whole company of the reprobate) because he received them from his Father into his custody, and because by embracing his doctrine, they will have so many and so mighty enemies, that there is no way for them to be in safety, except by his help.I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world:He shows by this the everlasting election and choice, which was hidden in the good will and pleasure of God, which is the groundwork of our salvation.thine they were, and thouHe shows that the everlasting and hidden purpose of God is declared in Christ, by whom we are justified and sanctified, if we lay hold of him by faith, so that we may eventually come to the glory of the election.gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.

7 Nowe they knowe that all things whatsoeuer thou hast giuen me, are of thee.

8 For I haue giuen vnto them the wordes which thou gauest me, and they haue receiued them, and haue knowen surely that I came out from thee, & haue beleeued that thou hast sent me.

9 I pray for them: I pray not for the worlde, but for them which thou hast giuen me: for they are thine.

10 And al 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 beHe prays that his people may peaceably agree and be joined together in one, that as the Godhead is one, so they may be of one mind and one consent together.one, as we [are].

12 While I was with them in the worlde, I kept them in thy Name: those that thou gauest me, haue I kept, and none of them is lost, but the childe of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

13 And now come I to thee, and these things speake I in the worlde, that they might haue my ioy fulfilled in themselues.

14 I haue giuen them thy word, & the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.

15 He shows what type of deliverance he means: not that they should be in no danger, but that in being preserved from all they might prove by experience that the doctrine of salvation is true, which doctrine they received from his mouth to deliver to others.I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

16 They are not of the worlde, as I am not of the world.

17 That is, make them holy: and that thing is said to be holy which is dedicated to God and belongs to him alone.Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through theThe true and substantial sanctification of Christ is contrasted with the outward purifyings of the law.truth.

20 Secondly, he offers to God the Father all of his, that is, all those who will believe in him by the doctrine of the apostles: that as he cleaves unto the Father, receiving from him all fulness, so they being joined with him may receive life from him, and being loved together in him, may also with him eventually enjoy everlasting glory.Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
