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 17:25–26

Jesus again prayed for his 11 closest disciples, that they would have God’s love and Jesus himself in them.

17:25a

Righteous Father, although the world has not known You,

Father, Righteous One/God, the people of this world have not known you^(sing),
My Father, you^(sing) are completely good. Unbelievers do not have a relationship with you^(sing).

Righteous Father: Jesus is speaking to his Father and showing respect by calling him Righteous. This is a description of God the Father. In some languages for Christ to say Righteous Father might imply that Jesus had an unrighteous father as well. In order to avoid this wrong meaning, it may be more natural to put Righteous Father in a separate sentence. For example:

Father, you are the One who is good. (NCV)

Righteous: The word translated Righteous means “good,” “right,” and “just.” God always does the right thing and judges with true justice. For example:

Good Father (CEV)

In some languages it may be necessary to use a verb in your translation of the adjective Righteous. For example:

My Father, you who act justly

Father, who judges fairly

My Father, you do only good (Otomi Back Translation)

Father: This word is one that a child would use when speaking to his father. It indicates affection and respect. See the note and how you translated the word in 17:1.

the world has not known You: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as the world refers to the people in the world who do not believe in Jesus. They do not really know God. This was true then and continues to be true. Try to use a verb that refers to time in general: past, present, and future. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

The world has never known you (TH)

the people of this world don’t know you (CEV)

those who don’t believe in me, they don’t know you (Kankanaey Back Translation)

17:25b

I know You,

but I have always known you^(sing).
However, I have a relationship with you^(sing),

I know You: This clause contrasts Jesus and the world. Jesus really knows God the Father, but unbelievers do not know him. The BSB indicated this by using “although” in 17:25a. This is a clause that is not limited to a certain time. For example:

but I have always known you (TH)

General Comment on 17:25a–b

In some languages it may be natural to indicate the contrast between these clauses in 17:25a rather than 17:25b. For example:

Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you (NIV)

17:25c

and they know that You sent Me.

And my disciples here know that you^(sing) sent me.
and these disciples of mine have come to know that it is you^(sing) who sent me here.

and they know that You sent Me: This clause states something that has not always been true but began to be true at a specific time. Jesus’ disciples began to believe that God had sent him to earth. For example:

and these have come to know that you sent me (TH)

they: This pronoun refers to Jesus’ 11 disciples who were there with him. In some languages it may be natural to make this explicit:

these my disciples/followers

know that You sent Me: See how you translated this clause in 17:23c.
