22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one-
22 The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one,
22 The same glory you gave me, I gave them, So they'll be as unified and together as we are -
22 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one:
22 "I have given them the glory you gave me, so they may be one as we are one.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on John 17:22
Commentary on John 17:20-23
(Read John 17:20-23)
Our Lord especially prayed, that all believers might be as one body under one head, animated by one soul, by their union with Christ and the Father in him, through the Holy Spirit dwelling in them. The more they dispute about lesser things, the more they throw doubts upon Christianity. Let us endeavour to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace, praying that all believers may be more and more united in one mind and one judgment. Thus shall we convince the world of the truth and excellence of our religion, and find more sweet communion with God and his saints.
