Expository Thoughts
who cares for nothing so much as to be holy and loving like his Master, while he lives, and a companion of his Master when he dies.
Technical Notes:
7. Sanctify them through your truth; your word is truth.
18. As you sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 19. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
20. Neither do I pray for these alone, but for them also who shall believe on me through their word; 21. that they all may be one, as you, 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 glory which you gave me I have given them, that they may be one even as we are one; 23. I in them, and you in me; that 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. Father, I will that they also whom you gave me be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory which you have given me; for you loved me before the foundation of the world.
25. O righteous Father, the world has not known you, but I have known you; and these have known that you sent me.
26. And I have declared to them your name, and will declare it, that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them.
