John 17:10

And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. AND ALL MINE ARE THINE, AND THINE ARE MINE, [ ta (G3588) ema (G1691) sa (G4674) estin (G1510), kai (G2532) ta (G3588) sa (G4674) ema (G1691)] - 'And all things that are Mine are Thine, and Thy things are Mine.' ABSOLUTE COMMUNITY OF PROPERTY BETWEEN THE FATHER AND THE SON is here express...

10._And all things that are mine are thine. _The object of the former clause is to show that the Father will assuredly listen to him. “I do not,” says he, “plead with thee for any but those whom thou acknowledgest to be _thine, _for I have nothing separated from thee, and therefore I shall not meet with a refusal.” In the second clause, _and thine are mine, _he shows that he has good reason for caring about the elect; for they are _his _in consequence of their being _his Father’s. _All these things are spoken for the confirmation of our faith. We must not seek salvation anywhere else than in Christ. But we shall not be satisfied with having Christ, if we do not know that we possess God in him. We must therefore believe that there is such a unity between the Father and the Son as makes it impossible that they shall have anything separate from each other. _And I am glorified in them. _This...

1-5 Our Lord prayed as a man, and as the Mediator of his people; yet he spoke with majesty and authority, as one with and equal to the Father. Eternal life could not be given to believers, unless Christ, their Surety, both glorified the Father, and was glorified of him. This is the sinner's way to eternal life, and when this knowledge shall be made perfect, holiness and happiness will be fully enjoyed. The holiness and happiness of the redeemed, are especially that glory of Christ, and of his Father, which was the joy set before him, for which he endured the cross and despised the shame; this glory was the end of the sorrow of his soul, and in obtaining it he was fully satisfied. Thus we are taught that our glorifying God is needed as an evidence of our interest in Christ, through whom eternal life is God's free gift. #6-10. Christ prays for those that are his. Thou gavest them me, as s...

Verse John 17:10. _I AM GLORIFIED IN THEM._] Christ speaks of the things which _were not_, but which _should_ be, as though they _were_. He anticipates the glorifying of his name by the successful preaching of the apostles....

I PRAY FOR THEM - In view of their dangers and trials, he sought the protection and blessing of God on them. His prayer was always answered. NOT FOR THE WORLD - The term world here, as elsewhere, refers to wicked, rebellious, vicious men. The meaning of this expression here seems to be this: Jesus is praying for his disciples. As a reason why God should bless them, he says that they were not of the world; that they had been taken out of the world; that they belonged unto God. The petition was not offered for wicked, perverse, rebellious men, but for those who were the friends of God and were disposed to receive his favors. This passage, then, settles nothing about the question whether Christ prayed for sinners. He then prayed for his disciples, who were not those who hated him and disregarded his favors. He afterward extended the prayer for all who should become Christians,...

EXPOSITION JOHN 17:1 4. The _high-priestly intercession_._ Audible communion of the Son with the Father_._ _The prayer which now follows reveals, in the loftiest and sublimest form, the Divine humanity of the Son of man, and the fact that, in the consciousness of Jesus as the veritable Christ of God, there was actually blended the union of the Divine and human, and a perfect exercise of the prerogatives of both. The illimitable task which writers of the second century must have set themselves to accomplish, if they had by some unknown process conceived such a stupendous idea without any historical basis to support it, has actually been so effected, that a representation is given which adequately conveys such a synthesis. The author of the Gospel does, however, draw rather upon his memory of that night than upon his phi

AND ALL MINE ARE THINE, AND THINE ARE MINE,.... Christ is speaking not of things but of persons; otherwise all the perfections of his nature as God, and all the works he did, and doctrines he taught as man, were of his Father; as all the perfections of his Father, his nature, his names, his works, his worship, were his; the same that belongs to the one belongs to the other: but persons are here meant, and these the elect of God, particularly the apostles, who were his and his Father's; belonged to them both by election, covenant transactions, redemption, and efficacious grace in conversion; which mutual interest arises from an union in nature, an agreement in covenant, and a conjunction in operation: AND I AM GLORIFIED IN THEM: or by them, they ascribing all divine perfections, works and worship to him; attributing the whole of their salvation to him, and giving him all the glory of it;...

John 17:1. _These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come;_ This is in a very special sense our Lord's prayer. What a word that is from the lips of Jesus, «Father»! This was the night of his deepest sorrow and his heaviest woe, but he begins his prayer with this tender expression, «Father, the hour is come;» the hour of darkness, the hour of his passion and death, had now arrived. John 17:1. _Glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:_ Did Jesus look upon his suffering as his glory? He does not merely pray, «Sustain thy Son,» but, «Glorify thy Son.» In truth, our Lord's lowest stoop was his highest glory. He was never more resplendent than when he hung upon the cross, that was his true spiritual throne, so he prayed, «Glor

CHAPTER 17 _ 1. The Finished Work. (John 17:1 .)_ 2. The Father's Name and the Father's Gift. (John 17:6 .) 3. Not of the World but Kept in it. (John 17:11 .) 4. Sanctification of Himself for His Own. (John 17:17 .) 5. The Glorification. (John 17:22 .) His words were ended to the eleven disciples and next He spoke to the Father, and His disciples listened to all His blessed words. What moments these must have been! His words to the Father told them once more how he loved them, how He cared for them, what He had done and what

JOHN 13:33 TO JOHN 17:26. THE LAST DISCOURSES AND PRAYER. Perhaps this is the best place to consider the general arrangement and character of the final discourses. They present the same problems of style and language, of content and of arrangement, that are raised elsewhere in this gospel. The language and the theology of the author are conspicuous. And yet we cannot escape the conviction that a greater than John is here, or fail to ask whether something of his style and theology was not learned in the upper room. These Chapter s are not merely the reflections of a later generation. The question of order is also difficult. The last words of ch. 14 mark the end of the discourse, the preceding verses are clearly the last words of a speech. The command, Arise, let us go hence, does not find its counterpart till...
