To study John 17 in a group
1. What it says
In his prayer, what does Jesus say eternal life is, and for whom does he pray? (vv. 3, 9, 20)
2. What it means
Jesus asks that all his own be one, as the Father and he are one (vv. 21-23). What does he say the world will know when that happens?
3. How I live it
Jesus prays for those who would believe through his disciples' word (v. 20). Whom could you pray for today with the same tenderness?
