SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 17:1–26: Jesus prayed to his Father

In this section, chapter 17, Jesus prayed to God his Father. He asked his Father to restore the glory that he had before he came to earth. He also asked his Father to protect his disciples from evil. He prayed for people in the future who would believe in him. He also told his Father that he wanted his disciples to always be with him.

Sometimes it is difficult to know to whom the pronouns “they” and “them” refer. Most of the time, Jesus was praying for the 11 disciples with him. However, he also prayed for all Christians, including those who would believe in him in the future. And even some of the prayers for the 11 disciples could also be thought to be prayers for future believers.

Here are some other possible Section Headings:

Jesus Prays for Himself, His Disciples, and His Church (GW)

Jesus’ prayer for his disciples

Paragraph 17:13–19

Jesus asked his Father to bless his disciples with joy, protection, and sanctification.

17:19a

For them I sanctify Myself,

I am dedicating myself to you^(sing) for their benefit,
I am committing myself to you, to benefit these my disciples,

For them: This phrase means “And for the benefit of my disciples.” Jesus was dedicating himself to God to serve and save his disciples.

I sanctify Myself: This clause means “I dedicate myself to God.” Jesus was saying that he dedicated himself to God for his disciples. In this context, that means that he dedicated himself as a sacrifice (see Deut. 15:19), ready to die. It can also mean that he dedicates himself as a prophet or priest (see Ex. 28:41). That is more the idea in 17:19b where the disciples would be sanctified. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

I have given myself completely for their sake (CEV)

For their sake, I am making myself ready to serve (NCV)

17:19b

so that they too may be sanctified by the truth.

in order that they too may be dedicated to you^(sing) through the truth.
so that they too by means of the truth can be committed to serving you^(sing).

so that they too may be sanctified by the truth: The connector so that introduces the purpose of Jesus sanctifying himself. He dedicated himself to God so that the disciples might also be dedicated to God. The way you translate sanctified here should be similar to how you translated “sanctify” in 17:19a. For example:

so that they may be given completely to God by the truth

so that they can be made ready for their service by the truth

sanctified by the truth: There are two ways to understand the phrase that the BSB translates literally as sanctified by the truth

It means “sanctified by means of the truth,” as in 17:17a. For example:
made holy by your truth (NLT) (BSB, KJV, REB, GW, NLT)
It means “truly dedicated to God.” Without Jesus’ atoning work on the cross, the disciples would not be suitable to be dedicated to God. For example:
truly sanctified (NIV) (NIV, NET, GNT)

Several translations translate this phrase literally as “sanctified/dedicated in truth” and can be understood either way: NASB, RSV, NRSV, NJB, and ESV.

It is recommended that if possible you translate this phrase literally in a way that can be understood either way. If that is not possible, you may want to follow option (1) or your national or major-language translation.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν ἐγὼ ἁγιάζω ἐμαυτόν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ὑπέρ αὐτῶν ἐγώ ἁγιάζω ἐμαυτόν ἵνα ὦσιν καί αὐτοί ἡγιασμένοι ἐν ἀληθείᾳ)

Jesus uses the phrases for their sakes and sanctified together to refer to his sacrificial death on the cross. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [for their sakes I have sanctified myself to die as a sacrifice]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἵνα ὦσιν καὶ αὐτοὶ ἡγιασμένοι ἐν ἀληθείᾳ

in_order_that may_be (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ὑπέρ αὐτῶν ἐγώ ἁγιάζω ἐμαυτόν ἵνα ὦσιν καί αὐτοί ἡγιασμένοι ἐν ἀληθείᾳ)

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [so that they may also sanctify themselves in truth]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἡγιασμένοι ἐν ἀληθείᾳ

˓having_been˒_sanctified in truth

The phrase in truth could refer to: (1) the means by which Jesus’ disciples would be sanctified. Alternate translation: [sanctified by means of truth]; (2) the nature or degree of their sanctification. Alternate translation: [truly sanctified]
