John 17: I pray for them

Read John 17:1-26 before you meet.

In a few lines

Jesus's prayer in John 17 has the verb give 17 times: the Father has given the Son authority, people, the work, the words, his name and glory, and the Son has given them the words and the glory (17:2-24).

The verse to carry

“This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.”

John 17:3

To talk about

  1. 1. "This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ" (17:3). What has helped you come to know God?

  2. 2. "I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one" (17:15). Where would you most like to be kept this week?

  3. 3. Jesus prayed "for those also who will believe in me through their word" (17:20). Who has passed Jesus's words on to you, and how could you pass them on this week?
