The Farewell Prayer

When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you.”—John 17:1 (ESV)

Often called the “High Priestly Prayer,” the words in John 17:1–26 capture Jesus’ prayer before His betrayal and arrest. As Jesus faced His last days on earth, He prayed for those who would be left behind. When Jesus said, “None has been lost,” He meant all of us.

Dear Jesus, help me live my life to glorify You and all You have done.
