• Unity in glory, “perfect in one,” in manifestation and descending revelation, the Father in the Son, and the Son in all of them. {v.21} was for the world’s believing, {v.23} for its knowing. The two first {unities in vs. 21-22} were literally accomplished according to the terms in which they are expressed. How far believers are departed from them since need not be said. (“John 17” by J.N. Darby)
• This is not the simple, perfect oneness of verse 11, nor the mutuality and communion of verse 21. It is Christ in all believers, and the Father in Christ, a unity in manifestation in glory, not merely in communion-a oneness in which all is perfectly connected with its source. (“John 17” by J.N. Darby)
• The world will contemplate with amazement the Church in the glory and the glory of God in the Church, or (as the Lord says) the Father in Him, and He in them glorified. It is unity perfect both in connection with its source and in manifestation of the Divine glory. And what a demonstration that the Father sent the Son and loved the saints as He loved Him! (“John 17” by W. Kelly)
