Jesus: Praying for his disciples

The Hour has come

Time of prayer.

Jesus made time for prayer in time of need

Last week prayer for self

Glorify Your Son, so Son can glorify You (v.1)

Given authority to give eternal life to those who “He” (Father) had given

Father glorify both You and I together (v.5) as I finished my task here and I return to former state as before the world was.

This week, prayer for the disciples

Jesus knew the hour has come; He remembers everything He had taught the disciples. He knew the troubled hearts they had and what was need to calm the troubled hearts.

Jesus promised them help for they were going to need it for the world was going to hate them. He instructed them to love one another, to hold onto one another
