Jesus Prays for Himself

1 Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, athe hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You,  
2 aas You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He1 should give eternal life to as many bas You have given Him.  
3 And athis is eternal life, that they may know You, bthe only true God, and Jesus Christ cwhom You have sent.  
4 aI have glorified You on the earth. bI have finished the work cwhich You have given Me to do.  
5 And now, O Father, glorify Me together1 with Yourself, with the glory awhich I had with You before the world was.

John 17:2

Authority over all flesh (ecousian pashv sarkov). Sarkov is objective genitive. Stupendous claim impossible for a mere man to make. Made already in Matthew 11:27; Luke 10:22 (Q, the Logia of Jesus, our earliest known document about Jesus) and repeated in Matthew 28:18 after his resurrection.

That (ina). Secondary purpose with ina dwsei (future active indicative) carrying on the idea of ina docash. See John 13:34; John 17:21 for ina, kaqws, ina.

Whatsoever (pan o). A peculiar classical Greek idiom, the collective use of the singular pan o as in John 6:37, John 6:39 and o in John 17:24 and the nominative absolute (nom. pendens) with autoiv (to them), the dative plural explaining the construction. See Robertson, Grammar, p. 653.
