| The Gospel of John: Chapter 17: KJV Bible |
| In this longest “high priestly prayer” of 636 words of Jesus to HIS Father, note the SINGULAR usage – as a singular person He spoke to His singular Father – as elsewhere, there is NO trinity doctrine. |
| THEE=11, THINE=6, THOU=27, THY=9; 53 in total. The full listing is CHRIST=1; FATHER=6; GOD=1; HIM=2; HIS=1; I=31; JESUS=2; ME=24; MINE=2; MY=2; MYSELF=1; SELF=1; SON=2, THEE=11; THINE=6; THOU=27; THY=9; US=1 and WE=2. A complete total of 132 where the number 132 means Anointed. |
[The “4th” Passover: Passover Sacrifice (Pesach) – Nisan 14, 3791 – Wednesday, April 25, 31AD. [John 12:1] Six days before = Thursday, April 19, 31AD; Jesus died on Friday, April 27, 31AD]
Christ told Mary the meaning of her act, and in this He gave her more than He had received. “In that she hath poured this ointment on My body,” He said, “she did it for My burial.” As the alabaster box was broken, and filled the whole house with its fragrance, so Christ was to die, His body was to be broken; but He was to rise from the tomb, and the fragrance of His life was to fill the earth. Christ “hath loved us, and hath given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savour.” Ephesians 5:2. {1898 The Desire of Ages, Page 560.5} |
| Jesus Prays for Himself |
| John 17:01: ¶ These words spake JESUS, and lifted up HIS eyes to heaven, and said, FATHER, the hour is come; glorify THY SON, that THY SON also may glorify THEE: [Jesus confirms God as His Father.] |
| John 17:02 As THOU hast given HIM power over all flesh, that he should give ETERNAL LIFE to as many as THOU hast given HIM. |
| John 17:03 AND THIS IS LIFE ETERNAL, THAT THEY MIGHT KNOW THEE THE ONLY TRUE GOD, AND JESUS CHRIST, WHOM THOU HAST SENT. [Deuteronomy 6:04; Isaiah 42:08; Malachi 2:10; Mark 12:29-30, 32; Romans 3:30; 1 Corinthians 8:04, 06; Ephesians 4:06; 1 Timothy 2:05; James 2:19]. [What is life eternal ? THAT THEY MIGHT KNOW THEE THE ONLY TRUE GOD, AND JESUS CHRIST]. |
| John 17:04 I HAVE GLORIFIED THEE ON THE EARTH: I have finished the work which THOU gavest ME to do. |
| John 17:05 And now, O FATHER, GLORIFY THOU ME WITH THINE OWN SELF WITH THE GLORY WHICH I HAD WITH THEE BEFORE THE WORLD WAS. [Jesus confirms God as His Father.] |
| Jesus Prays for His Disciples |
| John 17:06 I have manifested THY name unto the men which THOU gavest ME out of the world: THINE they were, and THOU gavest them ME; and they have kept THY WORD. |
| John 17:07 Now they have known that all things whatsoever THOU hast given ME are of THEE. |
| John 17:08 For I have given unto them the words which THOU gavest ME; and they have received [them], and have known surely that I CAME OUT FROM THEE, and they have believed that THOU didst send ME. [I CAME OUT FROM THEE – Again literally, just like John 8:42, 16:27, 16:30.] |
| John 17:09 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which THOU hast given ME; for they are THINE. |
| John 17:10 And all MINE are THINE, and THINE are MINE; and I am glorified in them. [MINE is the first person singular possessive pronoun.] |
| John 17:11 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 be one, as WE [are]. [Jesus confirms God as His Father in a singular context – no plural God.] |
| John 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in THY name: those that THOU gavest ME I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. |
| John 17:13 And now come I to THEE; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have MY joy fulfilled in themselves. |
| John 17:14 I have given them THY WORD; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. |
| John 17:15 I pray not that THOU shouldest take them out of the world, but that THOU shouldest keep them from the evil. |
| John 17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. |
| John 17:17 Sanctify them through THY TRUTH: THY WORD IS TRUTH. |
| John 17:18 As THOU hast sent ME into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. |
| John 17:19 And for their sakes I sanctify MYSELF, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. |
| Jesus Prays for All Believers |
| John 17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on ME through their word; |
| John 17:21 That they all may be one; as THOU, FATHER, [art] in ME, and I in THEE, that they also may be one in US: that the world may believe that THOU hast sent ME. [Jesus confirms God as His Father in a singular context – no plural God.] |
| John 17:22 And the glory [character] which THOU gavest ME I have given them; that they may be one, even as WE are one: [Ms46-1902] [Ms7-1902] |
| John 17:23 I in them, and THOU in ME, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that THOU hast sent ME, and hast loved them, as THOU hast loved ME. |
| John 17:24 FATHER, I will that they also, whom THOU hast given ME, be with ME where I am; that they may behold MY glory, which THOU hast given ME: for THOU lovedst ME before the foundation of the world. [Jesus confirms God as His Father in a singular context – no plural God.] |
| John 17:25 O RIGHTEOUS FATHER, the world hath not known THEE: but I have known THEE, and these have known that THOU hast sent ME. [Jesus confirms God as His Father in a singular context – no plural God.] |
| 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. [In this “Intercessory Prayer” of Jesus, the Only Begotten Son of God, to His Father, Jesus uses the Singular Tense a complete total of 132 times. He never uses any “god” plurality with His Father, just a One to One relationship; likewise in the Lord’s Prayer – see Matthew 6:9-13; Luke 11:1-4] |
