Overview of The Gospel of John:

The Gospel of John is written by one of Jesus Christ’s disciples, John, the son of Zebedee. This Gospel is 21 Chapters long.  John is described as the “Disciple of Whom Jesus loved”.  It has been determined by biblical scholars that John wrote The Gospel of John (also known as “According to John”).

  It was written around A.D. 80-90, about 50 years after he witnesses Jesus’ earthly ministry under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and as an eyewitness in composing the gospel. He is not John the Baptist. However, in this book, John the Baptist is discussed.   

The Gospel of John explains who Jesus Christ is before creation. It establishes his deity as Creator of the World, The Father (I AM), and is the long-awaited Messiah, the Son of God in the flesh.

Its purpose is to explain that even though Jesus is the Creator and God (I AM), believers are to understand that Jesus is the Son of God that came in the flesh and yet while we were sinners, died for our sins and rose again to become Savior of the World-reconnecting us to God. That is why we pray to the father in Jesus Christ’s name. 

Defeating death and sin by the shedding of his blood and life, Jesus gives the gift of everlasting life with repentance. That by believing you may have life in his name (20:31)  John 3:16  “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” 

God is omnipresent meaning he can be in more than one place at the same time. He can be on earth (flesh) and in heaven (spirit) at the same time. 

 Revelation 19:6  “And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thundering, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.”  

Isaiah 9:6 “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son, is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”

 

Jesus Christ Prays for his disciples and all believers.

Overview of The Gospel of John – Chapter 17

In this lesson on John Chapter 17, students will explore the powerful prayer Jesus offers just before His crucifixion. This chapter reveals Jesus’ deep love and care for His disciples and all future believers. Through His prayer, Jesus expresses His purpose, His desire for unity among believers, and His commitment to offering salvation and eternal life. This lesson helps students understand the significance of Jesus’ final prayer and the lasting impact of His teachings.

In John Chapter 17, Jesus prays to the Father, expressing His deep love and desire for His disciples and all believers. Aware that His time has come and that the Pharisees will soon capture Him, Jesus prays for His disciples, thanking God for the work He was sent to complete. He prays that all believers will know salvation, repentance, truth, hope, love, and eternal life through His name and sacrifice.

In His prayer, Jesus acknowledges that He chose and trained His disciples to spread the Gospel and build the church. He asks God to protect and guide them, knowing they will continue His mission with the Holy Spirit’s help. Jesus also prays for all future believers who will come to faith through the disciples’ message, asking God to make them holy through His truth. This chapter shows Jesus’ knowledge of the future and His unchanging love for those who believe in Him.

¹These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:

 ²As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. 

³And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. 

⁴I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. 

⁵And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

 ⁶I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.

 ⁷Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.

 ⁸For I have given unto them the words which thou gave me, and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. 

⁹I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

 ¹⁰And all mine are thine, and thine are mine, and I am glorified in them. 

¹¹And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. 

¹²While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gave me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

 ¹³And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 

¹⁴I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 

¹⁵I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 

¹⁶They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

 ¹⁷Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

 

 

Objective: Understand Jesus’ purpose in praying for unity, guidance, and sanctification for His followers.  The disciples be as one and be able to establish the Church and teach the Gospel after Jesus is crucified.

 

¹⁸As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

 ¹⁹And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

 ²⁰Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 

²¹That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 

²²And the glory which thou gave me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 

²³I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

²⁴Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

²⁵O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

 ²⁶And I have declared unto them thy name and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

Call to salvation:

 

John 3:16  “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

Romans 10:9-10  9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation. 

John 3:5-6  5Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is the Spirit.
