• The whole chapter is essentially putting the disciples in His own place, after laying the ground for it in His own glorifying and work. (“John 17” by J.N. Darby)
• Chapter 17 is divided thus: Verses 1-5 relate to Christ Himself, to His taking His position in glory, to His work, and to that glory as belonging to His Person, and the result of His work. Verses 1-3 present His new position in two aspects: “glorify thy Son”―power over all flesh, for eternal life to those given to Him; verses 4-5, His work and its results. In verses 6-13 He speaks of His disciples as put into this relationship with the Father by His revealing His name to them, and then His having given them the words which He had Himself received, that they might enjoy all the full blessedness of this relationship. He also prays for them that they may be one as He and the Father were. In verses 14-21 we find their consequent relationship to the world. In verses 20-21, He introduces those who should believe through their means into the enjoyment of their blessing. Verses 22-26 make known the result, both future and in this world, for them: the possession of the glory which Christ Himself had received from the Father―to be with Him, enjoying the sight of His glory―that the Father’s love should be with them here below, even as Christ Himself had been its object―and that Christ Himself should be in them. The last three verses alone take the disciples up to heaven as a supplemental truth. (“John 17” by J.N. Darby)
• Next follows a chapter which one may perhaps characterize truly as unequalled for depth and scope in all the Scriptures. Holiness, devotedness, truth, love, glory reign throughout. (“John 17” by W. Kelly)
• It is the Son opening His heart to the Father…. it is the Son addressing Him thus which is so wondrous a privilege for us to hear. But all this may well fill our hearts with the sense of utter insufficiency to speak of such communications suitably. (“John 17” by W. Kelly)
• To the Father He turns as ever, but now in the hearing of His own, as indeed He would open His heart, if about Himself and His work, about them yet more, always the Sent One and Servant in Divine love, though Lord of all. (“John 17” by W. Kelly)
• He nowhere speaks of it {his death} here, nor does He ask for resurrection, but glorification. (“John 17” by W. Kelly)
• Become man, He asks the Father to glorify Him; He is Son, and when there glorified, it is still to glorify the Father. (“John 17” by W. Kelly)
