John 17:10

all mine are thine, and thine are mine—literally, "All My things are Thine and Thy things are Mine." (On this use of the neuter gender, see on John 6:37-40). Absolute COMMUNITY OF PROPERTY between the Father and the Son is here expressed as nakedly as words can do it. (See on John 17:5).



John 17:9-14

I pray for them—not as individuals merely, but as representatives of all such in every succeeding age (see on John 17:20).

not for the world—for they had been given Him "out of the world" (John 17:6), and had been already transformed into the very opposite of it. The things sought for them, indeed, are applicable only to such.
