This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
I am no more in the world - (See on Joh 17:4).
but these are in the world - that is, Though My struggles are at an end, theirs are not; though I have gotten beyond the scene of strife, I cannot sever Myself in spirit from them, left behind and only just entering on their great conflict.
Holy Father - an expression He nowhere else uses. “Father” is His wonted appellation, but “Holy” is here prefixed, because His appeal was to that perfection of the Father’s nature, to “keep” or preserve them from being tainted by the unholy atmosphere of “the world” they were still in.
keep through thine own name - rather, “in thy name”; in the exercise of that gracious and holy character for which He was known.
that they may be one - (See on Joh 17:21).
