One Night, He Prayed



Jesus Prays For Himself (John 17:1-5)


Jesus (Jesus Christ) Spoke These Words, lifted up His (Jesus Christ’s) Eyes to Heaven, and said: “Father (God Almighty), The Hour has Come.  Glorify Your (God Almighty’s) Son, that Your (God Almighty’s) Son also may Glorify YOU (God Almighty), as YOU (God Almighty) have Given Him (Jesus Christ) Authority over All Flesh, that He (Jesus Christ) should Give Eternal Life, to as many (Believers) as YOU (God Almighty) have Given Him (Jesus Christ).  And This IS Eternal Life, that They (Believers) may KNOW YOU (God Almighty), The ONLY True God (God Almighty), and Jesus Christ whom YOU (God Almighty) have sent.  I (Jesus Christ) have Glorified YOU (God Almighty) on the Earth.  I (Jesus Christ) have Finished The Work, which YOU (God Almighty) have given Me (Jesus Christ) to do.  And now, O Father (God Almighty), Glorify Me (Jesus Christ) Together with Yourself (God Almighty) with The Glory, which I (Jesus Christ) had with YOU (God Almighty) BEFORE The World was.”

Jesus Prays For His Disciples (John 17:6-19)

“I (Jesus Christ) have Manifested Your Name (God Almighty), to the Men (Jesus’ Disciples) whom YOU (God Almighty) have Given Me (Jesus Christ), out of the World. They (Jesus’ Disciples) were Yours (God Almighty’s), YOU (God Almighty) Gave Them (Jesus’ Disciples) to Me (Jesus Christ), and They (Jesus’ Disciples) have Kept Your (God Almighty’s) Word.  Now They (Jesus’ Disciples) have KNOWN that All Things, which YOU (God Almighty) have Given Me (Jesus Christ) are from YOU (God Almighty).  For I (Jesus Christ) have Given to Them (Jesus’ Disciples) The Words, which YOU (God Almighty) have Given Me (Jesus Christ); and They (Jesus’ Disciples) have Received Them (Your Words), and have known SURELY that I (Jesus Christ) Came Forth from YOU (God Almighty); and They (Jesus’ Disciples) have BELIEVED that YOU (God Almighty) Sent Me (Jesus Christ).”

“I (Jesus Christ) Pray for Them (Jesus’ Disciples).  I (Jesus Christ) do NOT Pray for the World, but for Those (Jesus’ Disciples) whom YOU (God Almighty) have Given Me (Jesus Christ), for They (Jesus’ Disciples) are Yours (God Almighty’s).  And All Mine (Jesus Christ’s) are Yours (God Almighty’s), and Yours (God Almighty’s) are Mine (Jesus Christ’s), and I (Jesus Christ) am Glorified in Them (Jesus’ Disciples).  Now I (Jesus Christ) am NO longer in the World, but These (Jesus’ Disciples) are in the World, and I (Jesus Christ) Come to YOU (God Almighty).  Holy Father (God Almighty), Keep Through Your (God Almighty’s) Name, Those (Jesus’ Disciples) whom YOU (God Almighty) have Given Me (Jesus Christ), that They (Jesus’ Disciples) may be ONE, as We (God Almighty and Jesus Christ) are.  While I (Jesus Christ) was with Them (Jesus’ Disciples) in the World, I (Jesus Christ) Kept Them (Jesus’ Disciples) in Your (God Almighty’s) Name.  Those (Jesus’ Disciples) whom YOU (God Almighty) Gave Me (Jesus Christ), I (Jesus Christ) have Kept; and NONE of Them (Jesus’ Disciples) is lost, except the son of perdition, that The Scripture might be Fulfilled.  But now I (Jesus Christ) Come to YOU (God Almighty), and These Things I (Jesus Christ) Speak in the World, that They (Jesus’ Disciples) may have My (Jesus Christ’s) Joy Fulfilled in (God Almighty) Themselves (Jesus’ Disciples).  I (Jesus Christ) have Given Them (Jesus’ Disciples) Your (God Almighty’s) Word; and the World has hated Them (Jesus’ Disciples), because They (Jesus’ Disciples) are NOT of the World, just as I (Jesus Christ) am NOT of the World.  I (Jesus Christ) do NOT Pray that YOU (God Almighty) should Take Them (Jesus’ Disciples) out of the World, but that YOU (God Almighty) should Keep Them (Jesus’ Disciples), from the evil one (Satan/Lucifer/the devil).  They (Jesus’ Disciples) are NOT of the World, just as I (Jesus Christ) am NOT of the World.  Sanctify Them (Jesus’ Disciples) by Your (God Almighty’s) Truth.  Your (God Almighty’s) Word is Truth.  As YOU (God Almighty) Sent Me (Jesus Christ) into the World, I (Jesus Christ) also have Sent Them (Jesus’ Disciples) into the World.  And for Their (Jesus’ Disciples) Sakes, I (Jesus Christ) Sanctify Myself (Jesus Christ), that They (Jesus’ Disciples) also may be Sanctified by The Truth.”

Jesus Prays For All Believers (John 17:20-26)

“I do NOT Pray for These (Jesus’ Disciples) ALONE, but also for Those (Believers) who will BELIEVE in Me (Jesus Christ), THROUGH Their (Jesus’ Disciples) Word; that They (Believers) ALL may be ONE, as YOU, Father (God Almighty), are in Me (Jesus Christ), and I (Jesus Christ) in YOU (God Almighty); that They (Believers) also may be ONE, in Us (God Almighty and Jesus Christ), that the World may believe, that YOU (God Almighty) Sent Me (Jesus Christ).  And The Glory which YOU (God Almighty) Gave Me (Jesus Christ), I (Jesus Christ) have Given Them (Believers), that They (Believers) may be ONE, just as We (God Almighty and Jesus Christ) are ONE: I (Jesus Christ) in Them (Believers), and YOU (God Almighty) in Me (Jesus Christ); that They (Believers) may be Made Perfect in ONE, and that the World may know that YOU (God Almighty) have Sent Me (Jesus Christ), and have Loved Them (Believers) as YOU (God Almighty) have Loved Me (Jesus Christ).”

“Father (God Almighty), I (Jesus Christ) Desire, that They (Believers) also whom YOU (God Almighty) Gave Me (Jesus Christ), may be with Me (Jesus Christ), where I (Jesus Christ) am, that They (Believers) may Behold My (Jesus Christ’s) Glory, which YOU (God Almighty) have Given Me (Jesus Christ); for YOU (God Almighty) Loved Me (Jesus Christ), BEFORE The Foundation of the World.  O Righteous Father (God Almighty)!  The World has NOT known YOU (God Almighty), but I (Jesus Christ) have KNOWN YOU (God Almighty); and These (Believers) have KNOWN, that YOU (God Almighty) Sent Me (Jesus Christ).  And I (Jesus Christ) have DECLARED to Them (Believers), Your Name (God Almighty), and will Declare it (God Almighty’s Name), that the LOVE with which YOU (God Almighty) Loved Me (Jesus Christ) may be in Them (Believers), and I (Jesus Christ) in Them (Believers).”

Fellow Believers, guess who Jesus Christ was praying for, just before His Betrayal and Arrest, YOU and me, that’s right, Us.  We (Believers) weighed heavy on His (Jesus Christ’s) Mind.  That’s right, Jesus Christ was looking thousands of years, into Our (Believers) Future, asking God Almighty to reassure Us, that We (Believers) are ONE.  We (Believers) are ONE with God Almighty, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit.  Thank Jesus Christ for His Prayer, Today, by sharing Him with someone else, who needs to KNOW Him, Today.
