17.1 Hæc locutus est. Non solum quæ in cœna, sed etiam quæ ab initio. Sed maxime quæ in cœna hac de causa dicit dicta, ut in illo pacem haberent. Hæc pax est pro qua Christiani sumus, pro qua sacramentis imbuimur, pro qua omnimodis erudimur, pro qua Spiritum in pignus accepimus, pro qua in eum credimus et speramus et amore ejus accendimur. Hæc est pressuris consolatio et liberatio. Pater, venit hora. Potuit orare silentio, sed in orando est etiam doctor, et notam facit orationem quæ et præsentium et futurorum ædificatio. Venit hora. Non urgente fato, sed disponente Deo, qui sine tempore ordinavit omnia quæ fiant per tempora ordine congruo. Clarifica Filium. Humilitas in passione, claritas in resurrectione cœpit. Venit hora passionis, seminandæ humilitatis, non differas gloriam resurrectionis, ut Filius tuus clarificet te. Et sic claritas Patris nec augeri nec minui potest in se. Apud homines minor erat dum in Judæa sola notus, sed per resurrectionem Filii ubique innotuit. Ut Filius tuus clarificet te. In cognitione hominum, sicut dedisti, usque ut cognoscant te, et quem misisti. Non enim potest cognitione hominem clarificari Pater, nisi ille cognoscatur per quem clarificatur, id est populus innotescat, et hæc est clarificatio Patris, quæ non circa solos apostolos sed etiam circa omnes credentes sit.

17:1 Jesus looked up to heaven, assuming the traditional Jewish posture for prayer (11:41; Ps 123:1). He probably also raised his hands (Exod 9:33; 17:11; Ps 28:2). Prayers like this were said aloud so that followers could hear (John 11:41-42; 12:27-30; also Matt 11:25-30; Luke 10:21-22).
• Father was Jesus’ usual way to address God, which he did six times in this prayer (see also John 11:41; 12:27). This title—unusual in Judaism—reflected Jesus’ intimacy with God.
• This hour included Jesus’ betrayal, arrest, torture, death, and resurrection (see study note on 12:23).
• Glorify your Son: In the Gospel of John, the cross is a place of honor. Jesus’ oneness with the Father means that if the Son is glorified, the Father will also be glorified.
Connecting Statement:
The part of the story from the previous chapter continues. Jesus had been speaking to his disciples, but now he begins to pray to God.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ταῦτα ἐλάλησεν
these_‹things› spoke
Here, these things refers to everything that Jesus told his disciples in chapters 13–16. If this use of these things might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “described what would happen to him and his disciples”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἐπάρας τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ
/having/_lifted_up the eyes ˱of˲_him
See how you translated this idiom in 6:5.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν
to the sky
Here, heaven refers to the sky. The Jews believed that heaven, the place where God dwells, was located above the sky. If this use of heaven might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “beyond the sky toward God in heaven”
Note 4 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples
Πάτερ & Υἱὸς
Father & Son
Father and Son are important titles that describe the relationship between God and Jesus.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἐλήλυθεν ἡ ὥρα
/has/_come the hour
Here, Jesus uses hour to refer to the time when Jesus would suffer and die. If this would confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the time for me to suffer and die has come”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative
δόξασόν
glorify
Glorify here is an imperative, but it communicates a polite request rather than a command. Use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: “Please glorify”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
σου τὸν Υἱόν & ὁ Υἱὸς
˱of˲_you the Son & the Son
Jesus is referring to himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person, as in the UST.
Matthew 26-27; Mark 14-15; Luke 22-23; John 13-19
On the Thursday before he was crucified, Jesus had arranged to share the Passover meal with his disciples in an upper room, traditionally thought to be located in the Essene Quarter of Jerusalem. After they finished the meal, they went to the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus often met with his disciples. There Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus’ own disciples, betrayed him to soldiers sent from the High Priest, and they took Jesus to the High Priest’s residence. In the morning the leading priests and teachers of the law put Jesus on trial and found him guilty of blasphemy. The council sent Jesus to stand trial for treason before the Roman governor Pontius Pilate, who resided at the Praetorium while in Jerusalem. The Praetorium was likely located at the former residence of Herod the Great, who had died over 30 years earlier. When Pilate learned that Jesus was from Galilee, he sent him to Herod Antipas, who had jurisdiction over Galilee. But when Jesus gave no answer to Herod’s many questions, Herod and his soldiers sent him back to Pilate, who conceded to the people’s demands that Jesus be crucified. Jesus was forced to carry his cross out of the city gate to Golgotha, meaning Skull Hill, referring to what may have been a small unquarried hill in the middle of an old quarry just outside the gate. After Jesus was unable to carry his cross any further, a man named Simon from Cyrene was forced to carry it for him. There at Golgotha they crucified Jesus. After Jesus died, his body was hurriedly taken down before nightfall and placed in a newly cut, rock tomb owned by Joseph of Arimathea, a member of the Jewish high council. This tomb was likely located at the perimeter of the old quarry.
