eyes to heaven (17:1), and spoke the words
in the presence of the eleven disciples (cf.
18:1). Few details, but an awesome truth:
the Son of God speaking to His Father in
heaven about His disciples.
THREE DISCOURSES OF JOHN 14:1-16:33
The prayer is clearly of three main parts:
1. Jesus prays for Himself (17:1-5)
2. Jesus prays for His disciples (17:6-19)
3. Jesus prays for the church (17:20-26)
When you study the chapter, think of the
heart needs of the disciples at that time.
Also, think how Jesus was feeling at that
time, knowing what trying experiences were
awaiting Him in the next hours. Let these
studies be the background of applying the
prayer to your own life.
F. HOUR OF SACRIFICE (18:1—19:42)
After the high-priestly prayer of chapter
17 the succession of events was this:
Soul agony of Gethsemane19
Arrest
Trials
Scourging
Crucifixion
Death
Jesus did not try to delay or avoid any of
these experiences. To the very end, His
attitude was one of obedience to His
Father’s will: “The cup which the Father has
given Me, shall I not drink it?” (18:11; cf.
Matt. 26:1-2). That Jesus was not a fatalist
concerning such a sovereignly xed program
is shown throughout the gospels by the
intensity of His human emotions in the
midst of each trying experience. This man of
sorrows, acquainted with grief, was
“obedient to the point of death, even death
on a cross” (Phil. 2:8).
1 . Trial (18:12—19:16). Jesus was
confronted by two di erent realms of
authority in His trial. The political rulers
were Roman, and the religious rulers were
Jewish. Shown below are the two
confrontations, with three stages in each.
Note how much is reported by John.
a. Jewish Trial.
1.
Before Annas (18:12-14, 19-23).
2.
Informal trial by Sanhedrin before
dawn (18:24; Matt. 26:57, 59-68;
Mark 14:53, 55-65; Luke 22:54, 6365).
3.
Formal trial after dawn (Matt. 27:1;
Mark 15:1; Luke 22:66-71).
b. Roman Trial.
1.
First appearance before Pilate (18:2838; cf. Matt. 27:2, 11-14; Mark 15:15; Luke 23:1-5).
2.
Before Herod Antipas (Luke 23:6-12).
3.
Final appearance before Pilate (18:39
—19:16; cf. Matt. 27:15-26; Mark
15:6-15; Luke 23:13-25).
2. Death (19:17-42). The redemptive fruits
of Christ’s death are glorious, but the hour
of His death was mankind’s darkest hour.
