Este pasaje es parte de la oración que cierra los “discursos del adiós.” Se la conoce como la “oración sacerdotal.” Como toda oración, está llena de énfasis, de repeticiones, de efectos. Jesús le pide al Padre por sus seguidores y seguidoras; los de entonces y los de todos los tiempos. En la antigüedad era frecuente … Continue reading “San Juan 17:6-19 Comentario por Cristina Conti”

The genre of this passage will have a direct bearing on the preacher’s choice of sermonic approaches: the appointed pericope features approximately the first half of Jesus’ prayer for his disciples just before his crucifixion. Unlike the synoptic portrayal of Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane (not present in this Gospel), we have a … Continue reading “John 17:6-19 Commentary by Susan Hedahl”

The hour approaches and along with it the glory of both the Father and the Son as Jesus prays on behalf of those to whom the Father has authorized him to “give eternal life.” Consistent with this major Johannine theme (cf. John 3:16) this eternal life is that all those who have been entrusted to … Continue reading “John 17:6-19 Commentary by James Boyce”

This week’s text is the middle of Jesus’ prayer for his friends, which brings to a close the extended farewell section of this Gospel (John 13-17). The lectionary assigns the opening and closing of the prayer to other years of the cycle. This midsection of the prayer begins with a progress report in John 17:6-8, … Continue reading “John 17:6-19 Commentary by Meda Stamper”

La oración de Jesús en Juan 17 ha sido llamada por algunos “la oración sacerdotal.” Sin embargo, el término“sacerdote” no aparece aquí. Esta oración es parte de una última despedida de Jesús antes de su muerte por crucifixión. Se puede subdividir este “adiós” de Jesús en Juan 17 en tres secciones: 1) Jesús se refiere … Continue reading “San Juan 17:1-11 Comentario por Samuel Cruz”

Chapters 14-17 are known as Jesus’ Farewell Discourse. In it, he takes his disciples aside and prepares them for his departure, instructing them, warning them, and equipping them. The Discourse ends with his Farewell Prayer in which he directs his speech not to the disciples, but to God. Three themes are prominent and none is … Continue reading “John 17:1-11 Commentary by Jaime Clark-Soles”

The lectionary places Jesus’ prayer concerning glory at the end of the Easter season, but in John’s gospel the prayer occurs at the end of the last supper, so that it leads into the passion. Keeping the literary context in mind is important when preaching this passage. The word “glory” (Greek doxa) can have a … Continue reading “John 17:1-11 Commentary by Craig R. Koester”

Most of you preachers out there already know this, but it never hurts to be reminded of a perhaps well-known fact because maybe this time around it will mean and preach something different. In this case, our Gospel-comparison detail is that Jesus’ prayer to the Father before his arrest in the Gospel of John is … Continue reading “John 17:1-11 Commentary by Karoline Lewis”
