| V1 These words (tauta, ταuτα) [1] spake Jesus about the Logos, which is the word, and the world, eternal life, and ownership by Him and by God because of a mutual judgment and honoring (δοξάζω, doxazo)[2] from doxa which is an opinion, a view, a judgment like the logos which is the right reasoning of the Creator, that Unmoved Mover. To mutually honour one another according to divine will. |
| V2 Jesus was given "power" which is the power of choice[3] over all flesh. |
| V3 This life eternal includes knowing what is the true[4] God. |
| V4 I have glorified[2] thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. |
| V5 There is a request that the Father glorify[2] thou me with thine own self with the glory[5] which I had with thee before the world was. The American King James Version makes the English easier to follow: "And now, O Father, glorify you me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world was." At least two words should be understood. What does it mean to glorify? And what world was created? |
| V6 Jesus goes onto say that He has manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: This is the same term for world we saw in verse 5 and throughout this chapter. These men were given to Jesus by God and "and they have kept thy logos." What does it mean if these men were born and lived on the planet but that these men were not of or from the world ( ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου, ifanerosa sou t snoma togs anthropi ohs adokas moi ek tou kosmou)? Could it be that they were not members of the Corban of the Pharisees and Herod, nor of Rome.Could this have to do with the apostles being idiotes?[6] |
| V11 ¶ in the world... keep through thine own name ... they may be one, as we are. |
| "Jesus saith unto him, I am[7] the way, the truth[8], and the life:[9] no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6 |
V12 " While ... in the world, I kept them in thy name".
|
| V14 Because they have the logos which is the right reason of God; and the world hath hated them because of jealousy and envy and they live in darkness and hate the light.[10] |
| V15 He prays the remain in the world but not partakers of the evil of the world. What is the world? What us the sin and evil of the world? What was the Sin of Sodom? What is legal charity but the covetous practices of the world? |
| V16 Ministers should not be of the world. Jesus was another king.[6] |
| V17 To Sanctify[11] them through thy truth: thy word[12] is truth. |
| V18 God the Gather sent Jesus into the world and He sent His disciples into the world not to be of it or participate in the covetous practices of its legal charity nor eat at the tables of the unrighteous mammon but to become the social safety net of His righteousness through the Corban of Christ by making the people sit down in the tens bound by love for one another. |
| V19 What does it mean to be sanctified?[11] It means to be separate. What does it mean to be sanctified[11] through the truth? |
| V20 Believe on Christ because (tou logou) the word[12] is in them. How does that Logos[12] get in them except by the Holy Spirit? |
| V21 If we are not "one" we are not one with the Father. Factions at the altar and denominations are an indictment. |
| V22 What is this word glory?[5] Doxa is an opinion, a view, a judgment. It is from the verb dokeo[13] to think. Doxazo[2] is another verb meaning to think or have an opinion. |
| V23 What you profess, teach, and doeth must be in accordance and in conformity with the opinions of Christ or you are not abiding in Christ nor he in you. |
| In the phrase "where I <1473> am <1510> (ὅπου εἰμὶ ἐγὼ) or opou eimi egō, we find eimi as a prolonged form of a primary and defective verb; I exist which is used only when emphatic along with the word egō (first person nominative singular) which a part of the meaning of "one", which is existed before the foundation of the world which is the constitutional systems of governments of men. |
| 25 Their is the "patronus" of Rome and there is the righteous Father of the Kingdom of God, the world hath not known. The latter who was first should be known by us and we must live The Way of His righteousness. |
| 26 Declared unto them His name and glorious opinion according to the Logos of Christ is going to be seen in our love for one another. |
The Priestly Prayer
1 ¶ These words[1] spake Jesus,[14] and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify[2] thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify[2] thee:
2 As thou hast given him power[3] over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true[4] God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
4 I have glorified[2] thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
5 And now, O Father, glorify[2] thou me with thine own self with the glory[5] which I had with thee before the world was.
Manifested thy name
6 ¶ I 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.
7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
8 For I have given unto them the words(ῥῆμα, rhema)[15] which thou gavest 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.
9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I <1473> am <1510> glorified[2] in them.
In the world
11 ¶ And now I <1473> am <1510>[7] 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.
12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I <1473> am <1510>[7] not of the world.
15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
16 They are not of the world, even as I <1473> am <1510>[7] not of the world.[6]
Sanctify through truth
17 ¶ Sanctify[11] them through thy truth: thy word[12] is truth.
18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify[11] myself, that they also might be sanctified[11] through the truth.
Pray for them who shall believe
20 ¶ Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;[12]
21 That 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.
22 And the glory[5] which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
23 I 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.
They also
24 ¶ Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I <1473> am <1510> ; that they may behold my glory[5], which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
25 O righteous Father[16], the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
26 And 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.

- Doxa is a Greek word meaning common belief or popular opinion. Used by the Greek rhetoricians as a tool for the formation of argument by using common opinions, the doxa was often manipulated by sophists to persuade the people. The word doxa picked up a new meaning between the 3rd and 1st centuries BC when the Septuagint translated the Hebrew word for "glory" (כבוד, kavod) as doxa.

- Matthew 6:8 "Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. 9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as [it is] in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen."
- Matthew 7:21 "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."
- Matthew 12:50 "For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother."

- Romans 8:15 "For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father."

- The Fathers of the earth assume the natural role of the father of the family. Like the Conscripti Patri or the Patronus of Rome who become the benefactors of the masses offering them benefits and dainties from their civil tables of social welfare which are not only a snare, but destroy liberty, making the people merchandise. The Church established by Jesus would seek to have a daily ministration of Pure Religion through fervent charity.
