John chapter 17 Q and A and Commentary part two

Q: Why did Jesus only pray for His disciples and not the rest of the world? John 17:9 A: Because they belonged to the Father because they were the ones the Father had given him. He did not pray for the world because the world neither belonged to Him nor did the world belong to the Father. He was talking about the very world who had both already rejected both Him and His Father John 17:9. Q: Why did God the Father and God the Son share everything equally and why did glory come to Jesus Christ through them? John 17:10 A [His disciples that His Father had given Him. In order to aid Him] with His being able to fulfill His God-given earthly ministry.] John 17:10 A: And because of the disciples, given to Him, by His own heavenly Father. His Father was able to give Jesus Christ His own glory. John 17:10 A: [There was: God the Father and God the Son and Jesus Christ's own disciples. Everything was co-dependent upon all three of them--in order for God the Father-- to be able to pass on His own glory to God the Son.] Q: Why did Jesus, when He was praying for His disciples, tell His Father," I will remain in the world no longer?" John 17:11 A: Jesus Christ was praying to His Father and He knew that His earthly ministry and His being in the world would remain no longer. But He also knew that His eleven remaining disciples had to remain in the world and to carry on His behalf. And yes He knew, He would be very shortly returning back to the Father. John 17:11 A: He was petitioning His Father to protect all of them for His own sake. Knowing fully they would need protection from: the world, the flesh and the devil. He was beseeching His Father, that they would be as united with one another, as they both were. Q and A: [Why did Jesus know His disciples were divided and not being united? Because even during His last supper with them, before His Crucifixion--they were still fighting over who would be the greatest of them. By being placed in authority over the others and thus being in charge. By being greater than the rest of the others. Even when Jesus consonantly told them; it wasn't suppose to be that way among them.] Roxanne Lea Dubarry Roxy Lea 1954/ October Country 01/23/24
