Jesus Prays for All Believers

20 “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who1 will believe in Me through their word;  
21 athat they all may be one, as bYou, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.  
22 And the aglory which You gave Me I have given them, bthat they may be one just as We are one:  
23 I in them, and You in Me; athat they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.  
24 a“Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; bfor You loved Me before the foundation of the world.  
25 O righteous Father! aThe world has not known You, but bI have known You; and cthese have known that You sent Me.  
26 aAnd I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love bwith which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”

John 17:22

And the glory ... - The honor which thou hast conferred on me by admitting me to union with thee, the same honor I have conferred on them by admitting them to like union with me.

May be one, even as we are one - Not in nature, or in the mode of existence - for this was not the subject of discourse, and would be impossible - but in feeling, in principle, in purpose. Evincing, as the Father and the Son had always done, the same great aim and plan; not pursuing different interests, or counteracting each other' s purposes, or forming parties, but seeking the same ends by the same means. This is the union between the Father and the Son. Always, in the creation, preservation, and redemption of the world, the Father and the Son have sought the same object, and this is to be the model on which Christians should act.
