Summary
Jesus is walking with his disciples and teaching them about his relationship with the Father, with the Holy Spirit, and with his disciples. In today’s reading, we’ll hear Jesus pray for himself, for his disciples, and for all those believers who come after them. This section is often called “the high priestly prayer,” as Jesus is interceding for those whom he loves based on his status before the Father. Directly following this prayer, Jesus will be betrayed by Judas Iscariot into the hands of the Jews who wished to put him to death, including the chief priests, Pharisees, and a company of soldiers. As such, this prayer serves as a kind of parting of ways, as Jesus will now face the cross.
