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.]
