John 17:21

19 And ^afor their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.

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 Wesley's Notes

<< John 17:20

John 17:22 >>

As thou art in me - This also is to be understood in a way of similitude, and not of sameness or equality. That the world may believe - Here Christ prays for the world. Observe the sum of his whole prayer, Receive me into thy own and my glory; Let my apostles share therein; And all other believers: And let all the world believe.
