Bible Question: So it was Jesus' intent at the moment of prayer to only say it that way for future use in the Bible? |
Bible Answer: If I'm understanding your question correctly, I'd have to say no, that was not Jesus' only intent. Jesus is the example that we are to follow, but this prayer of is about twenty six verses long. Around verse 1, He starts out praying for Himself. Around verse 6, He prayed for His disciples. Around verse 20, He prayed for all belivers. All things considered, I find it hard to believe that Jesus had only a single intent when he offered up the prayer recorded in John 17. Is there any particular reason why you're focused on this one verse out of this entire prayer?? |
