Backgrounder on John 13-17:
The Upper Room Discourse
contains Jesus’ final words of
instruction and encouragement
to His disciples before his death.
Only John records these intimate
moments between Jesus and
His men as He models true
humility (Jn 13), describes the
coming Holy Spirit (Jn 14-16)
and Intercedes for the Unity and
Protection of His disciples (Jn 17)

I do not pray that You should take

should keep them from the evil one.
They are not of the world, just as
I am not of the world. Sanctify them
by Your truth… As You sent Me
into the world. I also have sent
them into the world (Jn 17:15-18).
My prayer is not for them alone.
I pray also for those who will

that the world may believe that
You sent me (Jn 17:20-21). Amen.
