Daily Word: Jesus Prays For Himself, His Disciples And All Believers- Admits He Existed Before the World

In The Gospel of John, Chapter 17. Jesus prays for Himself, acknowledging His role as the Son of God and seeking strength to fulfill His purpose. He also asks for disciples and believers to receive eternal life. Secondly, He petitions for His disciples, asking for protection, unity, and sanctification as they navigate the challenges ahead. Lastly, Jesus extends His prayer to all who will believe in Him, emphasizing unity and love among believers for the sake of sharing His message with the world. 

**Note: This author wants the reader to note that Jesus acknowledges in this prayer that he was with God before the earth and that he came from God. This proves the scripture that “He is one with God as the Word that became Flesh”. John 1:1 KJV  “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word is God.”   Isaiah 9:6 KJV  “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”

Luke 10:18 KJV “And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.”  Below is the prayer.  Please subscribe to ePrayer Circle to stay updated about our upcoming community.  Receive a free Gift.  Happy Mother’s Day and Graduation and Congrats on Weddings.

Jesus Prays For Himself, His Disciples And All BelieversJohn 17 KJV 

¹These 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:

²As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

³And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

⁴I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

 ⁵And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

⁶I 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.

⁷Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.

 ⁸For 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.

⁹I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

¹⁰And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

¹¹And 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.

¹²While 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.

 ¹³And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

 ¹⁴I 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.

 ¹⁵I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. ¹⁶They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. ¹⁷Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

¹⁸As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

¹⁹And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

 ²⁰Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;

 ²¹That 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. ²²And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

 ²³I 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.

. ²⁴Father, 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.

²⁵O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

²⁶And 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.
