John 17:26

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. AND I HAVE DECLARED, [ egnoorisa (G1107)] - 'I declared' or 'made known' UNTO THEM THY NAME. He had said this variously before (John 17:6; John 17:8; John 17:14; John 17:22); but here He repeats it for the sake of adding what follows. AND WILL DECLARE IT - or 'make it known' [ egnoorisa ...

26._And I have declared to them thy name, and will declare it. _Christ discharged the office of Teacher, but, in order to make known the Father, he employed the secret revelation of the Spirit, and not the sound of his voice alone. He means, therefore, that he taught the apostles efficaciously. Besides, their faith being at that time very weak, he promises greater progress for the future, and thus prepares them to expect more abundant grace of the Holy Spirit. Though he speaks of the apostles, we ought to draw from this a general exhortation, to study to make constant progress, and not to think that we have run so well that we have not still a long journey before us, so long as we are surrounded by the flesh. _That the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them; _that is, that thou mayest love them in me, or, that _the love with which thou hast loved me _may be extended to them; f...

24-26 Christ, as one with the Father, claimed on behalf of all that had been given to him, and should in due time believe on him, that they should be brought to heaven; and that there the whole company of the redeemed might behold his glory as their beloved Friend and Brother, and therein find happiness. He had declared and would further declare the name or character of God, by his doctrine and his Spirit, that, being one with him, the love of the Father to him might abide with them also. Thus, being joined to Him by one Spirit, they might be filled with all the fulness of God, and enjoy a blessedness of which we can form no right idea in our present state....

Verse John 17:26. _I HAVE DECLARED UNTO THEM THY NAME_, c.] I have taught them the true doctrine. _AND WILL DECLARE IT_] This he did: 1st. By the conversations he had with his disciples _after_ his resurrection, during the space of forty days. 2dly. By the Holy Spirit which was poured out upon them on the day of _pentecost_. And all these declarations Jesus Christ made, that the _love_ of God, and Christ Jesus himself, might dwell in them and thus they were to become a habitation for God through the eternal Spirit. OUR Lord's sermon, which he concluded by the prayer recorded in this chapter, begins at John 13:13, and is one of the most excellent than can be conceived. His sermon on the mount shows men what they should _do_, so a

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 I HAVE DECLARED UNTO THEM THY NAME,.... Himself, his nature, his perfections, especially of grace and mercy, his mind and will, his Gospel; John 17:6. A very fit person Christ was to make this declaration, since he was with him from all eternity, and was in his bosom; the Father did all in him, and his name is in him; and he is the faithful witness; nor is anything of God to be known savingly, but in and through Christ; the apostles are here particularly meant, though the same is true with respect to all that are given to Christ, who are his children and brethren, to whom he also declares the name of God: AND WILL DECLARE IT; more fully to them after his resurrection, during his forty days' stay with them, and upon his ascension, when he poured down his Spirit in such a plentiful and extraordinary manner upon them; and will declare it to others besides them in the Gentile wo

John 17:1. _These words spake Jesus, and, lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come;_ The hour to which he had so long looked forward, the hour which he had anticipated with ardent desire: «The hour is come.» On the very night that Jesus prayed this prayer, Luke's record tells us, «When the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer;» So he began his great intercessory prayer, «Father, the hour is come, John 17:1. _Glorify thy Son that thy Son also may glorify thee: as thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him._ In these words we have both the general and the spec

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...
