 <p>2177 Above, our Lord consoled his disciples by example and
-encouragement; here he comforts them by his prayer. In this prayer he does
-three things: first, he prays for himself; secondly, for the group of the
-disciples (v 6); thirdly, for all the faithful (v 20). He does three things
-with the first: first, he makes his request; secondly, he states the fruit of
-this request, <b>that the Son may glorify you; </b>thirdly, he mentions why his
-request deserves to be heard (v 4). In regard to the first point: first, we see
-the order he followed in his prayer; secondly, the way he prayed; thirdly, the
-words he used.
-
-<p>2178 The order he followed was fitting, because he prayed
-after first encouraging them. So we read, <b>When Jesus had spoken these words.
-</b>This gives us the example to help by our prayers those we are teaching by
-our words, because religious teaching has its greatest effect in the hearts of
-those who hear it when it is supported by a prayer which asks for divine help:
-"Pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed on and triumph" (2 Thess
-3:1). Again, our sermon should end with a prayer: "The sum of our words is: 'he
-is the all.'"

 <p>2179 The way he prayed is that <b>he lifted up his eyes to
-heaven</b>. There is a difference between the prayer of Christ and our own
-prayer: our prayer arises solely from our needs, while the prayer of Christ is
-more for our instruction, for there was no need for him to pray for himself,
-since together with his Father he answers prayers. He instructs us here by his
-words and actions. He teaches us by his actions in lifting up his eyes, so that
-we also will lift our eyes to heaven when we pray: "To you I lift up my eyes, O
-you who are enthroned in the heavens!" (Ps 123:1). And not just our eyes, but
-also our actions, by referring them to God: "Let us lift up our hearts and
-hands to God in heaven" (Lam 3:41). He teaches us by his words, for he said his
-prayer publicly, and said, so that those whom he taught by teaching he might
-also teach by praying. We are taught not just by the words of Christ, but also
-by his actions.
-
-<p>2180 His words are effective; thus he says, <b>Father, the
-hour has come. </b>Their effectiveness is caused by three things. First, by the
-love of the one praying. For the Son is praying to his Father and petitioning
-the Father because of his love for the Father. So he says, <b>Father, </b>to
-show us that we should pray to God with the affection of his children: "And I
-thought you would call me, My Father, and would not turn from following me"
-(Jer 3:19).
-
-<p>Secondly, his prayer is effective
-because of the need for this prayer; for as he says, <b>the hour has come, </b>for
-his passion, about which he had said before: "My hour has not yet come" (2:4).
-The hour, I say, not the season, not the day, because Christ was to be seized
-right away. Not an hour fixed but fate, but chosen by his own plan and good
-pleasure. And it is appropriate that right before he prays he mentions his
-troubles, because God especially hears us when we are troubled: "In my troubles
-I cried to the Lord, and he heard me" [Ps 120:1]; "Since we do not know what to
-do, we can only turn our eyes to you" [2 Chron 20:12]. Thirdly, his prayer is

+effective because of its content, <b>glorify your Son.</b></p>
 <p>2181 But the Son of God is Wisdom itself, and this has the
-greatest glory: "Wisdom is radiant and unfading" (Wis 6:13). How then can he
-speak of glory being glorified, especially since he is the splendor of the
-Father (Heb 1:3)? We should say that Christ asked to be glorified by the Father
-in three ways. First, in his passion, and this was done by the many miracles
-which occurred: for the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent,
-and graves were opened. This was referred to before (12:28): "I have glorified
-it," by the miracles occurring before the passion, "and I will glorify it
-again," during the passion. With this understanding Christ says, <b>glorify </b>me
-in my passion by showing that I am your Son. And so the centurion, after seeing
-the miracles, said: "Truly, this was the Son of God" (Mt 27:54).
-
-<p>Secondly, Christ sought to be
-glorified in his resurrection. His holy soul was always joined to God and
-possessed glory from the vision of God: "We have beheld his glory, glory as of
-the only Son from the Father" (1:14). From the beginning of his conception, his
-soul was glorified, but in the resurrection he had glory of body also, referred
-to in "Jesus Christ, who will change our lowly body to be like his glorious
-body" (Phil 3:21). Thirdly, he sought to be glorified in the knowledge of all
-people: "Because of her I shall have glory among the multitudes and honor in
-the presence of the elders" (Wis 8:10).
-
-<p>And so he says, <b>glorify your
-Son, </b>that is, show the entire world that I am your Son, in the strict
-sense: by birth, not by creation (in opposition to Arius, who said that the Son
-of God is a creature); in truth, not just in name (against Sabellius, who said
-that the same person is now called Father and then called Son); by origin, not
-adoption (in opposition to Nestorius, who said that Christ was an adopted son).
-
+greatest glory: "Wisdom is radiant and unfading" (Wis 6:13). How
+then can he speak of glory being glorified, especially since he is
+the splendor of the Father (Heb 1:3)? We should say that Christ
+asked to be glorified by the Father in three ways. First, in his
+passion, and this was done by the many miracles which occurred: for
+the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent, and
+graves were opened. This was referred to before (12:28): "I have
+glorified it," by the miracles occurring before the passion, "and I
+will glorify it again," during the passion. With this understanding
+Christ says, <b>glorify</b> me in my passion by showing that I am
+your Son. And so the centurion, after seeing the miracles, said:
+"Truly, this was the Son of God" (Mt 27:54).</p>
+<p>Secondly, Christ sought to be glorified in his resurrection. His
+holy soul was always joined to God and possessed glory from the
+vision of God: "We have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son
+from the Father" (1:14). From the beginning of his conception, his
+soul was glorified, but in the resurrection he had glory of body
+also, referred to in "Jesus Christ, who will change our lowly body
+to be like his glorious body" (Phil 3:21). Thirdly, he sought to be
+glorified in the knowledge of all people: "Because of her I shall
+have glory among the multitudes and honor in the presence of the
+elders" (Wis 8:10).</p>
+<p>And so he says, <b>glorify your Son,</b> that is, show the
+entire world that I am your Son, in the strict sense: by birth, not
+by creation (in opposition to Arius, who said that the Son of God
+is a creature); in truth, not just in name (against Sabellius, who
+said that the same person is now called Father and then called
+Son); by origin, not adoption (in opposition to Nestorius, who said
+that Christ was an adopted son).</p>
 <p>2182 Now we see the fruit of his being glorified: first, the
-fruit is mentioned; secondly, it is explained, <b>since you have given him
-power...</b>
-
-<p>2183 The fruit of the Son's being glorified is that the
-Father is glorified; thus he says, <b>that the Son may glorify you. </b>When
-Arius observed that our Lord said, <b>glorify your Son, </b>he supposed that
-the Father is greater than the Son. This is true if we consider the Son in his
-human nature: "The Father in greater than I" (14:28). Consequently, Christ
-adds, <b>that the Son may glorify you </b>(in the knowledge of men) to show he
-is equal to the Father as regards the divine nature. Now glory is renown joined
-with praise. Formerly, God was renowned among the Jews: "In Judah God is known"
-(Ps 76:1); but later, through his Son, he was known throughout the entire
-world. Holy people also increase God's renown by their good works: "That they
-may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven" (Mt
-5:16). Above Christ said: "I do not seek my own glory; there is One who seeks
-it and he will be the judge" (8:50).
-
-<p>2184 Now we have the fruit of Christ's request: first, we
-see the benefit conferred on us by Christ; secondly, he shows that this benefit
-is related to the glory of the Father (v 3).
-
-<p>1285 He says, <b>that the Son may glorify you, </b>and this <b>since
-you have given him power over all flesh. </b>We should know that what acts in
-virtue of another tends in its effect to reveal that other: for the action of a
-principle which proceeds from another principle manifests this principle. Now
-whatever the Son has he has from the Father; and thus it is necessary that what
-the Son does manifests the Father. Thus he says to the Father, <b>you have
-given him power </b>over all human beings. By this power the Son ought to lead
-them to a knowledge of t he Father, which is eternal life. This is the meaning
-of, <b>that the Son may glorify you, since you have given him power over all
-flesh, </b>that is, over all human beings: "All flesh shall see the salvation
-of God" (Lk 3:6).
-
-<p><b>You have given him </b>[this
-power], says Hilary, by giving, through an eternal generation, the divine
-nature to the Son, from which the Son has the power to embrace all things: "All
-things have been delivered to me by my Father" (Mt 11:27); "For the Father loves
-the Son, and shows him all that he himself is doing" (5:20).<a href="#_ftn2"
-name="_ftnref2">[2]</a>
-Or, in another way, <b>you have given </b>this power to Christ in his human
-nature because this nature is united with your Son to form one person. And in
-this way flesh has power over flesh: "All authority [power] in heaven and on
-earth has been given me" (Mt 28:18); "And to him," that is, the Son of man,
-"was given dominion and glory and kingdom" (Dan 7:14).
-
-<p>He says, Father, <b>you have given
-him power: </b>Father, just as you have power, not to wrest things from your
-human creatures, but to give yourself to them, so you have given power to
-Christ in his human nature, power <b>over all flesh, </b>so that he may <b>give
-eternal life to all whom you have given him, </b>through eternal
-predestination: "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them" (10:27).
-
-<p>2186 But is the eternal life given to men related to the
-glory of the Father? Indeed it is, for <b>this is eternal life, that they may
-know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent, </b>who was
-sent so that the Father could be glorified by being known by men.
-
-<p>Two things need explanation here.
-First, why he says, <b>this is eternal life, that they may know. </b>Note that
-strictly speaking, we call those things living which move themselves to their
-activities. Those things which are only moved by other things are not living,
-but dead. And so all those activities to which an active thing moves itself are
-called living activities, for example, to will, to understand, to sense, to
-grow and to move about. Now a thing is said to be alive in two senses. First
-because it has living activities in potency, as one who is asleep is said to
-have sensitive life because it has the power to move itself about, although it
-is not actually doing so. Or, something is said to be alive because it is
-actually engaged in living activities, and then it is alive in the full sense.
-For this reason one who is asleep is said to be half alive. Among living
-activities the highest is the activity of the intellect, which is to
-understand. And thus the activity of the intellect is living activity in the
-highest degree. Now just as the sense in act is identified with the sense&#8209;object
-in act, so also the intellect in act is identified with the thing understood in
-act. Since then intellectual understanding is living activity, and to
-understand is to live, it follows that to understand an eternal reality is to
-live with an eternal life. But God is an eternal reality, and so to understand
-and see God is eternal life.
-
-<p>Accordingly our Lord says that
-eternal life lies in vision, in seeing, that is, it consists in this basically
-and in its whole substance. But it is love which moves one to this vision, and
-is in a certain way its fulfillment: for the completion and crown of beatitude
-(happiness) is the delight experienced in the enjoyment of God, and this is
-caused by charity. Still, the substance of beatitude consists in vision,
-seeing: "We shall see him as he is" (1 Jn 3:2).
-
+fruit is mentioned; secondly, it is explained, <b>since you have
+given him power...</b></p>
+<p>2183 The fruit of the Son's being glorified is that the Father
+is glorified; thus he says, <b>that the Son may glorify you.</b>
+When Arius observed that our Lord said, <b>glorify your Son,</b> he
+supposed that the Father is greater than the Son. This is true if
+we consider the Son in his human nature: "The Father in greater
+than I" (14:28). Consequently, Christ adds, <b>that the Son may
+glorify you</b> (in the knowledge of men) to show he is equal to
+the Father as regards the divine nature. Now glory is renown joined
+with praise. Formerly, God was renowned among the Jews: "In Judah
+God is known" (Ps 76:1); but later, through his Son, he was known
+throughout the entire world. Holy people also increase God's renown
+by their good works: "That they may see your good works and give
+glory to your Father who is in heaven" (Mt 5:16). Above Christ
+said: "I do not seek my own glory; there is One who seeks it and he
+will be the judge" (8:50).</p>
+<p>2184 Now we have the fruit of Christ's request: first, we see
+the benefit conferred on us by Christ; secondly, he shows that this
+benefit is related to the glory of the Father (v 3).</p>
+<p>1285 He says, <b>that the Son may glorify you,</b> and this
+<b>since you have given him power over all flesh.</b> We should
+know that what acts in virtue of another tends in its effect to
+reveal that other: for the action of a principle which proceeds
+from another principle manifests this principle. Now whatever the
+Son has he has from the Father; and thus it is necessary that what
+the Son does manifests the Father. Thus he says to the Father,
+<b>you have given him power</b> over all human beings. By this
+power the Son ought to lead them to a knowledge of t he Father,
+which is eternal life. This is the meaning of, <b>that the Son may
+glorify you, since you have given him power over all flesh,</b>
+that is, over all human beings: "All flesh shall see the salvation
+of God" (Lk 3:6).</p>
+<p><b>You have given him</b> [this power], says Hilary, by giving,
+through an eternal generation, the divine nature to the Son, from
+which the Son has the power to embrace all things: "All things have
+been delivered to me by my Father" (Mt 11:27); "For the Father
+loves the Son, and shows him all that he himself is doing"
+(5:20).<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" id="_ftnref2">[2]</a> Or,
+in another way, <b>you have given</b> this power to Christ in his
+human nature because this nature is united with your Son to form
+one person. And in this way flesh has power over flesh: "All
+authority [power] in heaven and on earth has been given me" (Mt
+28:18); "And to him," that is, the Son of man, "was given dominion
+and glory and kingdom" (Dan 7:14).</p>
+<p>He says, Father, <b>you have given him power:</b> Father, just
+as you have power, not to wrest things from your human creatures,
+but to give yourself to them, so you have given power to Christ in
+his human nature, power <b>over all flesh,</b> so that he may
+<b>give eternal life to all whom you have given him,</b> through
+eternal predestination: "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them"
+(10:27).</p>
+<p>2186 But is the eternal life given to men related to the glory
+of the Father? Indeed it is, for <b>this is eternal life, that they
+may know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have
+sent,</b> who was sent so that the Father could be glorified by
+being known by men.</p>
+<p>Two things need explanation here. First, why he says, <b>this is
+eternal life, that they may know.</b> Note that strictly speaking,
+we call those things living which move themselves to their
+activities. Those things which are only moved by other things are
+not living, but dead. And so all those activities to which an
+active thing moves itself are called living activities, for
+example, to will, to understand, to sense, to grow and to move
+about. Now a thing is said to be alive in two senses. First because
+it has living activities in potency, as one who is asleep is said

+asleep is said to be half alive. Among living activities the
+highest is the activity of the intellect, which is to understand.
+And thus the activity of the intellect is living activity in the
+highest degree. Now just as the sense in act is identified with the
+sense&#8209;object in act, so also the intellect in act is
+identified with the thing understood in act. Since then
+intellectual understanding is living activity, and to understand is
+to live, it follows that to understand an eternal reality is to
+live with an eternal life. But God is an eternal reality, and so to
+understand and see God is eternal life.</p>
+<p>Accordingly our Lord says that eternal life lies in vision, in
+seeing, that is, it consists in this basically and in its whole
+substance. But it is love which moves one to this vision, and is in
+a certain way its fulfillment: for the completion and crown of
+beatitude (happiness) is the delight experienced in the enjoyment
+of God, and this is caused by charity. Still, the substance of
+beatitude consists in vision, seeing: "We shall see him as he is"
+(1 Jn 3:2).</p>
 <p>2187 Secondly, we should explain the phrase, <b>you the only
-true God. </b>It is clear that Christ was speaking to the Father, so when he
-says, <b>you the only true God, </b>it seems that only God the Father is true
-God. The Arians agree with this, for they say that the Son differs by essence
-from the Father, since the Son is a created substance, although he shares in
-the divinity more perfectly and to a greater degree than do all other
-creatures. So much more that the Son is called God, but not the true God,
-because he is not God by nature, which only the Father is.
-
-<p>Hilary answers this by saying that
-when we want to know whether a certain thing is true, we can determine it from
-two things: its nature and its power.<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3">[3]</a>
-For true gold is that which has the species of true gold; and we determine this
-if it acts like true gold. Therefore, if we maintain that the Son has the true
-nature of God, because the Son exercises the true activities of divinity, it is
-clear that the Son is true God. Now the Son does perform true works of
-divinity, for we read, "Whatever he [the Father] does, that the Son does
-likewise" (5:19); and again he said, "For as the Father has life in himself,"
-which is not a participated life, "so he has granted the Son also to have life
-in himself" (5:26); "That we may be in his true Son, Jesus Christ. This is the
-true God and eternal life" [1 Jn 5:20].
-
-<p>According to Hilary, he says, <b>you
-the only true God</b>, in a way that does not exclude another. He does not say
-without qualification, <b>you the only</b>, but adds <b>and Jesus Christ whom
-you have sent.<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><b>[4]</b></a>
-</b>It is like saying: that they know you <b>and Jesus Christ whom you have
-sent </b>to be the one and only true God. This is a pattern of speaking that we
-also use when we say [in the <i>Gloria</i>]: "<i>You alone, </i>Jesus Christ,
-are the most high, <i>together with </i>the Holy Spirit." No mention is made of
-the Holy Spirit because whenever the Father and the Son are mentioned, and
-especially in matters pertaining to the grandeur of the divinity, the Holy
-Spirit, who is the bond of the Father and Son, is implied.
-
-<p>2188 Or, according to Augustine in his work, <i>The Trinity,
-</i>he says this to exclude the error of those who claim that it is false to
-say that the Father is God, and the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God;
-while it is true to say that the Father and the Son and Holy Spirit are one
-God.<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5">[5]</a>
-The reason for this opinion was that the Apostle said that "Christ [is] the
-power of God and the Wisdom of God" (1 Cor 1:24). Now it is clear that we
-cannot call anyone God unless he has divine power and wisdom. Therefore, since
-these people held that the Father was wisdom, which is the Son, they held further
-that the Father considered without the Son would not be God. And the same
-applies to the Son and the Holy Spirit.
-
-<p>The incarnation of the Son of God
-is indicated by saying that he was sent. So when he says here, <b>and Jesus
-Christ whom you have sent, </b>we are led to understand that in eternal life we
-will also rejoice in the humanity of Christ: "Your eyes will see the king,"
-that is, Christ, "in his beauty" (Is 33:17); "He will go in and out and find
-pasture" (10:9).
-
-<p>2189 Now we see why Christ's prayer deserves to be heard:
-first, he mentions why he deserves this; secondly, he states the reward, <b>Father,
-glorify me</b>.
-
+true God.</b> It is clear that Christ was speaking to the Father,
+so when he says, <b>you the only true God,</b> it seems that only
+God the Father is true God. The Arians agree with this, for they
+say that the Son differs by essence from the Father, since the Son
+is a created substance, although he shares in the divinity more
+perfectly and to a greater degree than do all other creatures. So
+much more that the Son is called God, but not the true God, because
+he is not God by nature, which only the Father is.</p>
+<p>Hilary answers this by saying that when we want to know whether
+a certain thing is true, we can determine it from two things: its
+nature and its power.<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3" id=
+"_ftnref3">[3]</a> For true gold is that which has the species of
+true gold; and we determine this if it acts like true gold.
+Therefore, if we maintain that the Son has the true nature of God,
+because the Son exercises the true activities of divinity, it is
+clear that the Son is true God. Now the Son does perform true works
+of divinity, for we read, "Whatever he [the Father] does, that the
+Son does likewise" (5:19); and again he said, "For as the Father
+has life in himself," which is not a participated life, "so he has
+granted the Son also to have life in himself" (5:26); "That we may
+be in his true Son, Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal
+life" [1 Jn 5:20].</p>
+<p>According to Hilary, he says, <b>you the only true God</b>, in a
+way that does not exclude another. He does not say without
+qualification, <b>you the only</b>, but adds <b>and Jesus Christ
+whom you have sent.<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4" id=
+"_ftnref4"><b>[4]</b></a></b> It is like saying: that they know you
+<b>and Jesus Christ whom you have sent</b> to be the one and only
+true God. This is a pattern of speaking that we also use when we
+say [in the <i>Gloria</i>]: "<i>You alone,</i> Jesus Christ, are
+the most high, <i>together with</i> the Holy Spirit." No mention is
+made of the Holy Spirit because whenever the Father and the Son are
+mentioned, and especially in matters pertaining to the grandeur of
+the divinity, the Holy Spirit, who is the bond of the Father and
+Son, is implied.</p>
+<p>2188 Or, according to Augustine in his work, <i>The Trinity,</i>
+he says this to exclude the error of those who claim that it is
+false to say that the Father is God, and the Son is God, and the
+Holy Spirit is God; while it is true to say that the Father and the
+Son and Holy Spirit are one God.<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5"
+id="_ftnref5">[5]</a> The reason for this opinion was that the
+Apostle said that "Christ [is] the power of God and the Wisdom of
+God" (1 Cor 1:24). Now it is clear that we cannot call anyone God
+unless he has divine power and wisdom. Therefore, since these
+people held that the Father was wisdom, which is the Son, they held
+further that the Father considered without the Son would not be
+God. And the same applies to the Son and the Holy Spirit.</p>
+<p>The incarnation of the Son of God is indicated by saying that he
+was sent. So when he says here, <b>and Jesus Christ whom you have
+sent,</b> we are led to understand that in eternal life we will
+also rejoice in the humanity of Christ: "Your eyes will see the
+king," that is, Christ, "in his beauty" (Is 33:17); "He will go in
+and out and find pasture" (10:9).</p>
+<p>2189 Now we see why Christ's prayer deserves to be heard: first,
+he mentions why he deserves this; secondly, he states the reward,
+<b>Father, glorify me</b>.</p>
 <p>2190 He states that he merited to be heard for two reasons.
-First, because of his teaching, when he says, <b>I glorified you on earth</b>,
-that is, in the minds of men, by manifesting you in my teaching: "Glorify the
-Lord in teaching" [Is 24:15]. Secondly, I glorified you by my obedience; thus
-he said, <b>I ... having accomplished the work</b>. He uses the past tense in
-place of the future: <b>I glorified </b>for "I will glorify," and <b>accomplished</b>
-in place of "I will accomplish." He does this because these things had already
-begun, and also because the hour of his passion, when his work would be
-accomplished, was very near.
-
-<p>"The work which <b>you gave me</b>
-to do," not merely ordered. It is not enough [for a work to be accomplished]
-for Christ and us to be ordered by God, because whatever Christ as man
-accomplished and whatever we can do is God's gift, God gave us this: "I knew
-that I could not be continent unless God gave it" [Wis 8:21]. <b>You gave me</b>,
-I say, by the gift of grace, to do, that is, to accomplish.
-
-<p>2191 The reward for Christ's obedience and teaching is
-glory: "He humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a
-cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which
-is above every name" (Phil 2:8). And so Christ asks for his reward, saying, <b>and
-now, Father, glorify me</b>. According to Augustine this does not mean, as some
-have thought, that the human nature of Christ, which was assumed by the Word,
-would at some time be changed into the Word, and the human nature changed into
-God.<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6">[6]</a>
-This would be to annihilate the [human] nature of Christ, for when a first
-thing is changed into another in such a way that this other is not enriched, the
-first thing seems to have been annihilated [because it produced no effect]. But
-nothing can be added to enrich the divine Word of God.
-
-<p>Thus, for Augustine, <b>and now,
-Father, glorify me</b>, refers to the predestination of Christ as man.
-Something can be had by us both in the divine predestination and in actual
-fact. Now Christ, in his human nature, as all other human beings, was
-predestined by God the Father: "He was predestined Son of God" [Rom 1:4]. With
-this in mind he says, <b>and now </b>&#8209; after I have glorified you, having
-accomplished the work which you gave me to do &#8209; <b>Father, glorify me</b>
-in your own presence, that is, have me sit at your right hand, <b>with the
-glory which I had with you before the world was made, </b>that is to say, with
-the glory I had in your predestination: "The Lord Jesus ... was taken up into
-heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God" (Mk 16:19).<a href="#_ftn7"
-name="_ftnref7">[7]</a>
-
+First, because of his teaching, when he says, <b>I glorified you on
+earth</b>, that is, in the minds of men, by manifesting you in my
+teaching: "Glorify the Lord in teaching" [Is 24:15]. Secondly, I
+glorified you by my obedience; thus he said, <b>I ... having

+future: <b>I glorified</b> for "I will glorify," and
+<b>accomplished</b> in place of "I will accomplish." He does this

 <p>2192 Hilary gives the other interpretation.<a href="#_ftn8"
-name="_ftnref8">[8]</a>
-The glory of human beings will be in a certain way similar to the glory of God,
-although unequal. Now Christ, as God, had glory with the Father from all
-eternity, a divine glory and equal to that of the Father. Accordingly, what he
-is asking for here is that he be glorified in his human nature, that is to say,
-that what was flesh in time and changed by corruption, should receive the glory
-of that brightness which is outside of time. He is asking not for an equal
-glory, but for one which is similar, which is to say that just as the Son is
-immortal and sitting at the right hand of the Father from all eternity, so he
-now become immortal in his human nature and exalted to the right hand of God.

 <p>2194 He mentions the first reason when he says, <b>I have
-manifested your name</b>. We could add here, according to Augustine, "that the
-Son may glorify you" (v 1). The Father has already received some of this glory
-because <b>I have manifested your name to the men whom you gave me out of the

+(1:18).</p>
 <p>2195 There is a problem with this: Since God the Father was
-known to men before Christ came &#8209; "In Judah God is known" (Ps 76:1) &#8209;
-why does Christ say, <b>I have manifested your name</b>. I answer that the name
-of God the Father can be known in three ways. In one way, as the creator of all
-things; and this is the way the Gentiles knew him: "His invisible nature ...
-has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made" (Rom 1:20); "God
-has shown it to them" (Rom 1:19). In another way [the Father can be known] as
-the only one to whom the veneration of <i>latria</i> [adoration] is to be
-given. He was not known to the Gentiles in this way, for they gave the
-veneration of <i>latria</i> to other gods. He was known in this way only to the
-Jews, for they alone had been commanded in their law to sacrifice only to the
-Lord: "Whoever sacrifices to any god, save to the Lord only, shall be utterly
-destroyed" (Ex 22:20). Thirdly, he can be known as the Father of an only Son,
-Jesus Christ. He was not known to anyone in this way, but did become so known
-through his Son when the apostles believed that Christ was the Son of God.
-
-<p>2196 He gives the second reason why he prays for them when
-he says, <b>whom you gave me</b>. First, he mentions that they were given to
-him, from which we can see the reason or way they were given. He says, <b>whom
-you gave me</b>, that is, it is to these that <b>I have manifested your name</b>.
-But did Christ possess them as the Father possessed them? Yes he did, insofar
-as he was God. But he says, <b>whom you gave me</b>, that is, to me as man, to
-listen to me and obey me: "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me
-draws him" (6:44). Those who come to Christ do so through the gift and grace of
-God: "For by grace you have been saved ... it is the gift of God" (Eph 2:8).
-You gave them to me out of the world, that is, they were chosen from the world:
-"I chose you out of the world" (5:19). For even though the entire world was
-given to the Son insofar as he was God, the apostles were given to the Son to
-obey. He mentions the reason for this giving when he says, <b>thine they were</b>.
-This is like saying: the reason they were given is that <b>thine they were</b>,
-and mine, and predestined from eternity to attain by grace a future glory: "He
-chose us in him before the foundation of the world" (Eph 1:4). <b>And you gave
-them to me</b>, that is, by making them adhere to me you accomplished in fact
-what was previously predestined for them with me and in me.
-
-<p>2197 The third reason for praying for the disciples, based
-on their devotion, is mentioned when he says, <b>they have kept your word</b>.
-First, he mentions their devotion to the Son; secondly, he shows that this
-devotion gives glory to the Father, <b>they know that everything that you have
-given to me is from you; </b>thirdly, we see the reason this gives glory to the
-Father: <b>for I have given them the words which you gave me</b>.
-

+76:1) &#8209; why does Christ say, <b>I have manifested your

+of the world, that is, they were chosen from the world: "I chose
+you out of the world" (5:19). For even though the entire world was

+<b>And you gave them to me</b>, that is, by making them adhere to
+me you accomplished in fact what was previously predestined for
+them with me and in me.</p>
+<p>2197 The third reason for praying for the disciples, based on
+their devotion, is mentioned when he says, <b>they have kept your
+word</b>. First, he mentions their devotion to the Son; secondly,
+he shows that this devotion gives glory to the Father, <b>they know
+that everything that you have given to me is from you;</b> thirdly,
+we see the reason this gives glory to the Father: <b>for I have
+given them the words which you gave me</b>.</p>
 <p>2198 As to the first: he had said that you gave them to me
-because <b>thine they were</b>. And they were devoted because <b>they have kept
-your word</b>, in their hearts by faith, and in their actions by fulfilling
-your words: "Keep my commandments and live" (Prv 7:2); "If you keep my
-commandments, you will abide in my love" (15:10).
-
+because <b>thine they were</b>. And they were devoted because
+<b>they have kept your word</b>, in their hearts by faith, and in
+their actions by fulfilling your words: "Keep my commandments and
+live" (Prv 7:2); "If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my
+love" (15:10).</p>
 <p>2199 Father, the fact that they kept your word in this way gives
-you glory. For this is my word: everything I have I have from you. <b>Now they
-know that everything that you have given me</b>, that is, to your Son in his
-human nature, is from you: "We have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son
-from the Father" (1:14), that is to say, we saw him as having everything from
-the Father. And because they know this, the Father receives glory in their
-minds.
-
-<p>2200 The reason this gives glory, that is, that this
-obedience of the disciples to the Son gives glory to the Father, is stated when
-he says, <b>for I have given them the words which you gave me</b>. First he
-states that knowledge comes from the Father to the disciples; secondly, that
-the minds of the disciples are led back to the Father.
-
-<p>2201 It is stated that knowledge is given in two ways. In
-the first way the Father gives to the Son. Thus he says: <b>the words which you
-gave me</b>, in my eternal generation, in which the Father gave words to the
-Son, although the Son himself is the Word of the Father. These words are
-nothing else than the patterns or plans of everything which is to be done. And
-all these patterns the Father gave to the Son in generating him. Or, it could
-be said that the you gave me refers to the humanity of Christ, because from the
-very instant of his conception the most holy soul of Christ was full with all
-knowledge of the truth, "full of grace and truth" (1:14), that is, with the
-knowledge of every truth: "In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and
-knowledge" (Col 2:3).
-
-<p>The other giving of knowledge is
-from Christ to his disciples, so he says, <b>I have given them</b>, by teaching
-them, both from without and from within: "For all that I have heard from my
-Father I have made known to you" (15:15). By saying this he shows that he is
-the mediator between God and man (1 Tim 2:5), because what he received from the
-Father he passed on to the disciples: "I stood between the Lord and you at that
-time, to declare to you the word of the Lord" (Deut 5:5).
-
-<p>2202 He mentions that the minds of the disciples were led
-back to the Father when he says, <b>and they have received them</b>. Two kinds
-of receiving are mentioned, corresponding to the two kinds of giving previously
-stated. One kind of receiving corresponds to the second kind of giving [the
-giving by Christ to the disciples] and as to this he says, <b>and they have
-received them</b>, from me, without resisting: "The Lord God has opened my ear,
-and I was not rebellious" (Is 50:5); "Every one who has heard and learned from
-the Father comes to me" (6:45). And receiving them, <b>they know in truth that
-I came from you, </b>that you have given me all things, and this corresponds to
-the first kind of giving [of the Father to the Son].
-
-<p>2203 According to Augustine the words that follow, <b>and
-they have believed that you did send me</b>, are added to explain the previous
-sentence, "I came from you."<a href="#_ftn12" name="_ftnref12">[12]</a>
-Knowledge of God is of two kinds: one is perfect, by the clear vision of glory;
-the other is imperfect, through faith: "For now we see in a mirror dimly," in
-the second way, "but then face to face," in the first way (1 Cor 13:12). He
-says [in the previous sentence], <b>they know in truth that I came from you. </b>But
-what kind of knowledge was this? The knowledge of our homeland, heaven? No, it
-was the knowledge of faith. And so he adds, <b>and they have believed</b>,
-indicating that to know this is to believe it. <b>They have believed </b>I say,<b>
-in truth</b>, that<b> </b>is, firmly and strongly: "Do you now believe?" that
-is, firmly. "The hour is coming" when you will believe completely (16:31). He
-uses the past tense, <b>have believed</b>, in place of the future tense because
-of his certainty about the future, and because of the infallibility of divine
-predestination.
-
-<p>Or, according to Chrysostom, he
-uses the past tense to indicate that these things have already happened,
-because they had already begun.<a href="#_ftn13" name="_ftnref13">[13]</a>
-We can harmonize both of these interpretations because all these things had
-already begun, but they still remained to be completed. Thus, in reference to
-what has already begun, he speaks in the past tense, but in reference to their
-completion he speaks in the future, because they would be accomplished by the
-coming of the Holy Spirit.
-
+you glory. For this is my word: everything I have I have from you.
+<b>Now they know that everything that you have given me</b>, that
+is, to your Son in his human nature, is from you: "We have beheld
+his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father" (1:14), that
+is to say, we saw him as having everything from the Father. And
+because they know this, the Father receives glory in their
+minds.</p>
+<p>2200 The reason this gives glory, that is, that this obedience
+of the disciples to the Son gives glory to the Father, is stated
+when he says, <b>for I have given them the words which you gave
+me</b>. First he states that knowledge comes from the Father to the
+disciples; secondly, that the minds of the disciples are led back
+to the Father.</p>
+<p>2201 It is stated that knowledge is given in two ways. In the
+first way the Father gives to the Son. Thus he says: <b>the words
+which you gave me</b>, in my eternal generation, in which the
+Father gave words to the Son, although the Son himself is the Word
+of the Father. These words are nothing else than the patterns or
+plans of everything which is to be done. And all these patterns the
+Father gave to the Son in generating him. Or, it could be said that
+the you gave me refers to the humanity of Christ, because from the
+very instant of his conception the most holy soul of Christ was
+full with all knowledge of the truth, "full of grace and truth"
+(1:14), that is, with the knowledge of every truth: "In whom are
+hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge" (Col 2:3).</p>
+<p>The other giving of knowledge is from Christ to his disciples,
+so he says, <b>I have given them</b>, by teaching them, both from
+without and from within: "For all that I have heard from my Father
+I have made known to you" (15:15). By saying this he shows that he
+is the mediator between God and man (1 Tim 2:5), because what he
+received from the Father he passed on to the disciples: "I stood
+between the Lord and you at that time, to declare to you the word
+of the Lord" (Deut 5:5).</p>
+<p>2202 He mentions that the minds of the disciples were led back
+to the Father when he says, <b>and they have received them</b>. Two
+kinds of receiving are mentioned, corresponding to the two kinds of
+giving previously stated. One kind of receiving corresponds to the
+second kind of giving [the giving by Christ to the disciples] and
+as to this he says, <b>and they have received them</b>, from me,
+without resisting: "The Lord God has opened my ear, and I was not
+rebellious" (Is 50:5); "Every one who has heard and learned from
+the Father comes to me" (6:45). And receiving them, <b>they know in
+truth that I came from you,</b> that you have given me all things,
+and this corresponds to the first kind of giving [of the Father to
+the Son].</p>
+<p>2203 According to Augustine the words that follow, <b>and they
+have believed that you did send me</b>, are added to explain the
+previous sentence, "I came from you."<a href="#_ftn12" name=
+"_ftnref12" id="_ftnref12">[12]</a> Knowledge of God is of two
+kinds: one is perfect, by the clear vision of glory; the other is
+imperfect, through faith: "For now we see in a mirror dimly," in
+the second way, "but then face to face," in the first way (1 Cor
+13:12). He says [in the previous sentence], <b>they know in truth
+that I came from you.</b> But what kind of knowledge was this? The
+knowledge of our homeland, heaven? No, it was the knowledge of
+faith. And so he adds, <b>and they have believed</b>, indicating
+that to know this is to believe it. <b>They have believed</b> I
+say,<b>in truth</b>, that is, firmly and strongly: "Do you now
+believe?" that is, firmly. "The hour is coming" when you will
+believe completely (16:31). He uses the past tense, <b>have
+believed</b>, in place of the future tense because of his certainty
+about the future, and because of the infallibility of divine
+predestination.</p>
+<p>Or, according to Chrysostom, he uses the past tense to indicate
+that these things have already happened, because they had already
+begun.<a href="#_ftn13" name="_ftnref13" id="_ftnref13">[13]</a> We
+can harmonize both of these interpretations because all these
+things had already begun, but they still remained to be completed.
+Thus, in reference to what has already begun, he speaks in the past
+tense, but in reference to their completion he speaks in the
+future, because they would be accomplished by the coming of the
+Holy Spirit.</p>
 <p>2204 But what did they believe? <b>That you did send me</b>:
-"God sent his Son" [Gal 4:4]. According to Augustine this is the same as "I
-came <i>(exire, </i>come, come forth) from you" (v 8).<a href="#_ftn14"
-name="_ftnref14">[14]</a>
-This does not agree with Hilary for whom, as was said, "to come forth" <i>(exire)
-</i>refers to the eternal generation of the Son, and "to be sent" refers to the
-incarnation of the Son.<a href="#_ftn15" name="_ftnref15">[15]</a>
-But I say that we can speak of Christ in two ways. In one way, from the point
-of view of his divinity; and then, insofar as he is the Son of God "to come
-forth" and "to be sent" are not the same, as Hilary says. Or, we can speak of
-Christ from the point of view of his humanity; and then, insofar as he is the
-Son of man, "to come forth" and "to be sent" are the same, as Augustine says.

 <p>2205 Now we see the reasons, founded on himself, why Christ
-prayed for his disciples. He mentions three reasons.
-
-<p>2206 One is based on the authority he had received over
-them. In reference to this he says, <b>I am praying for them</b>, that is, the
-disciples. First we see the reason; secondly, its explanation, <b>for they are
-yours</b>.
-
-<p>The reason why a person's prayer
-should be heard and why he should pray for others is that they belong to him in
-a special way; for general prayers are less likely to be heard. Accordingly he
-says, <b>I am praying for them; I am not praying for the world, </b>that is,
-the lovers of the world, <b>but for those whom you have given me</b>,
-especially as obedient disciples, although all things are mine, under my
-authority: "Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage" (Ps 2:8).
-
-<p>2207 To the contrary, it seems that he prayed for all: "We
-have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and he is the
-expiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the
-whole world" (1 Jn 2:1); "God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved" (1
-Tim 2:4). We should say to this that Christ did pray for all because his prayer
-is powerful enough to benefit the entire world. Yet it does not produce its
-effect in all, but only in the elect and saints of God. This is because of the
-obstacles present in the worldly.
-
-<p>2208 He gives a reason for why he prays for them when he
-says, <b>for they are yours</b>, that is, by eternal predestination. But they
-were not yours in such a way that the Son could not have them; nor were they
-given to the Son in such a way that they were taken from the Father. Thus he
-says, <b>all mine are yours, and yours are mine. </b>This indicates the
-equality of the Son with the Father, for the Son, insofar as he is God, has
-from all eternity everything that the Father has.
-
-<p>2209 Note that the Father has certain things that belong to
-his essence, like wisdom, goodness, and things of that kind; and these things
-are nothing else but his essence. And the Son asserts that he himself has this
-when, speaking of the procession of the Holy Spirit, he says: "He will receive
-from me and declare it to you" [16:14]. This is because "All that the Father
-has is mine" (16:15). He says all [using a plural form], because while all
-these things are one in reality, we apprehend them with many ideas.
-
-<p>Secondly, the Father has certain
-things that relate to those who possess holiness or sanctity, who are set apart
-for him through faith, such as all the saints and the elect, of whom it was
-said, "thine they were" (v 6). All these things, too, the Son asserts that he
-has when he says here, speaking of them, <b>and yours are mine, </b>because
-they have been predestined to enjoy the Son as well as the Father.
-
-<p>Thirdly, the Father has some things
-in a general way because of their origin, for example, all created things: "The
-earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof" (Ps 24:1). All these too belong
-to the Son. Thus in the parable of the prodigal son, the father says to his
-older son: "Son ... all that is mine is yours" (Lk 15:31).
-
-<p>2210 The second reason why Christ prayed for his disciples
-is based on the glory he had in them: for they already knew something of his
-glory, and would know it more fully: "For we did not follow cleverly devised
-myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,
-but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty" (2 Pet 1:16).

+prayed for his disciples. He mentions three reasons.</p>
+<p>2206 One is based on the authority he had received over them. In
+reference to this he says, <b>I am praying for them</b>, that is,
+the disciples. First we see the reason; secondly, its explanation,
+<b>for they are yours</b>.</p>
+<p>The reason why a person's prayer should be heard and why he

+that is, the lovers of the world, <b>but for those whom you have

+nations your heritage" (Ps 2:8).</p>
+<p>2207 To the contrary, it seems that he prayed for all: "We have

+the expiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the
+sins of the whole world" (1 Jn 2:1); "God our Savior, who desires

+<p>2208 He gives a reason for why he prays for them when he says,

+<p>2210 The second reason why Christ prayed for his disciples is

+of his glory, and would know it more fully: "For we did not follow
+cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and
+coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his
+majesty" (2 Pet 1:16).</p>
 <p>2211 The third reason why he prays for them is his coming
-physical absence; so he says, <b>and now I am no more in the world. </b>Note
-that one is said to be "in the world" in two senses. First, by clinging to the
-world by one's affections: "For all that is in the world [is] the lust of the
-flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life" (1 Jn 2:16). This is not
-the sense in which Christ was no longer in the world, since he never clung to
-it with his affections. He is no longer in the world in another way, that is,
-by his physical presence, for while he had been in the world physically, he
-would soon physically leave it. But they, the disciples, are in the world,
-physically present. <b>And I am coming to you, </b>as regards my humanity, to
-share your glory and to be seated at your right hand. So it is fitting that I
-pray for those whom I will soon physically leave.

 <p>2212 After Christ stated his reasons for praying for the
-apostles, he here makes his petitions: first, he asks for their protection;
-secondly, for their sanctification, sanctify them (v 17). They are to be
-protected from evil, and sanctified by good. In regard to the first he does two
-things: first, he asks for their protection; secondly, he mentions why they
-need protection (v 12).

+apostles, he here makes his petitions: first, he asks for their
+protection; secondly, for their sanctification, sanctify them (v
+17). They are to be protected from evil, and sanctified by good. In
+regard to the first he does two things: first, he asks for their
+protection; secondly, he mentions why they need protection (v
+12).</p>
 <p>2213 In regard to the first, four things must be considered:
-whom he asks; what he asks for; for whom he asks; and why he asks. The one he
-asks is the Father; so he says, <b>Father</b>: and with good reason, for the
-Father is the source of every good: "Every good endowment and every perfect
-gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights" (Jas 1:17). He adds,
-<b>Holy, </b>because the Father is also the source and origin of all holiness
-and because, in the last analysis, he was asking for the sanctification of the
-apostles: "You shall be holy; for I the Lord your God am holy" (Lev 19:2);
-"There is none holy like the Lord" (1 Sam 2:2).
-
-<p>He asks for their protection, saying,
-<b>keep them</b>, for as we read: "Unless the Lord builds the house, those who
-build it labor in vain" (Ps 127:1). For our good consists not only in receiving
-existence from God, but also in being kept in existence by God, because as
-Gregory says: "All things would return to nothingness, if the hand of the
-Almighty did not uphold them" <a href="#_ftn16"
-name="_ftnref16">[16]</a>;
-"upholding the universe by his word of power" (Heb 1:3). Accordingly, the
-Psalmist prays: "Keep me, O Lord, for I have put my trust in you" [Ps 16:1].
-Now we are kept from evil and from sin in the name of God; thus he says, <b>keep
-them in your name, </b>that means, by the power of your name and of your
-knowledge, for in these lay our glory and our well&#8209;being: "Some trust in
-chariots, and some in horses. But we will call upon the name of the Lord our
-God" [Ps 20:7].
-
-<p>He is praying for those who were
-given to him; he says, <b>which you have given me: </b>"Consider the work of
-God; who can make straight what he has made crooked?" (Eccl 7:13). For one can
-be kept from evil only by God's choice, which is indicated when he says, <b>which
-you have given me, </b>that is, by a gift of grace, so that they remain with
-me: "Not all men can receive this precept, but only those to whom it is given"
-(Mt 19:11). Those who are given to Christ in this way are kept from evil.
-
-<p>Then he states why he is asking for
-their protection, saying, <b>that they may be one, even as we are one. </b>This
-can be connected with what has gone before in two ways. In the first way, it
-shows the way they will be kept or protected. Then the meaning is: They will be
-kept and protected by being kept as one. For a thing is preserved in existence
-as long as it remains one, and it ceases to be when it become divided: "Every
-kingdom divided against itself is laid waste" (Mt 12:23). Accordingly, the Church
-and people can be preserved if they remain one. In another way this phrase can
-state the purpose of their being kept. Then the meaning is this: Let them be
-kept or protected so that they may be one: for our entire perfection lies in a
-unity of spirit: "eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of
-peace" (Eph 4:3); "Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in
-unity" (Ps 133:1).
-
-<p>2214 He adds, <b>even as we are one</b>. This causes a
-problem. The Father and Son are one in essence. And so we also will be one in
-essence? This is not true. The solution is that the perfection of each thing is
-nothing but sharing a likeness to God; for we are good to the extent that we
-resemble God. Accordingly, our unity contributes to our perfection to the extent
-that it shares in the unity of God. Now there is a twofold unity in God. There
-is a unity of nature: "I and the Father are one" (10:30); and a unity of love
-in the Father and Son, which is a unity of spirit. Both of these unities are
-found in us, not in an equal way, but with a certain likeness. The Father and
-the Son have the same individual nature [literally "numerically the same
-nature"], while we have the same specific nature. Again, they are one by a love
-which is not a participated love and a gift from another; rather, this love
-proceeds from them, for the Father and Son love themselves by the Holy Spirit.
-We are one by participating in a higher love.<a href="#_ftn17" name="_ftnref17"
-title="">[17]</a>
-
-<p>2215 Then he mentions why they need this protection (v 2).
-They need it for two reasons: because he is leaving them; and because the world
-hates them (v 14). He does three things about the first: he recalls the
-eagerness with which he protected them while he was with them; secondly, he
-states he is leaving (v 13a); thirdly, he mentions why he is saying these
-things (v 13b). Three things are done with the first: first, he mentions the
-way he protected them; secondly, his obligation to protect them; and thirdly,
-the effectiveness of his protection.
-
-<p>2216 The way they were protected was appropriate, because it
-was by the power of the Father. Accordingly, he says, <b>While I was with them,
-</b>that is, physically present &#8209; "Afterward he appeared on earth and
-lived among men" (Bar 3:37) &#8209; <b>I</b>, the Son of man, <b>kept</b>, that
-is, protected <b>them </b>from evil and sin, not by human power, but rather by
-divine power, because it was <b>in your name</b>. This name is also common to
-the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit &#8209; "Baptizing them in the name of
-the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Mt 28:19) &#8209; because
-the Father and the Son are one God, and because the name of "Son" is implied in
-the name "Father," for one who has a son is called a Father.
-
-<p>Note that before, when Christ
-denied that he had a devil, he did not deny that he was a Samaritan, that is, a
-guardian, because Christ is a guardian: "Watchman, what of the night?" (Is
-21:11), that is, the night of this world, for like a shepherd, Christ guards
-his flock.
-
-<p>2217 His obligation to protect them is stated when he says, <b>which
-you have given me, </b>for a guardian is bound to protect those placed in his
-care: "Keep this man" (1 Kgs 20:39); "I will take my stand to watch" (Hab 2:1).
-This is the way a superior acts when he carefully watches over those entrusted
-to his care: "And in that region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping
-watch over their flock by night" (Lk 2:8).
-
+whom he asks; what he asks for; for whom he asks; and why he asks.
+The one he asks is the Father; so he says, <b>Father</b>: and with
+good reason, for the Father is the source of every good: "Every
+good endowment and every perfect gift is from above, coming down
+from the Father of lights" (Jas 1:17). He adds, <b>Holy,</b>
+because the Father is also the source and origin of all holiness
+and because, in the last analysis, he was asking for the
+sanctification of the apostles: "You shall be holy; for I the Lord
+your God am holy" (Lev 19:2); "There is none holy like the Lord" (1
+Sam 2:2).</p>
+<p>He asks for their protection, saying, <b>keep them</b>, for as
+we read: "Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it
+labor in vain" (Ps 127:1). For our good consists not only in
+receiving existence from God, but also in being kept in existence
+by God, because as Gregory says: "All things would return to
+nothingness, if the hand of the Almighty did not uphold them"
+<a href="#_ftn16" name="_ftnref16" id="_ftnref16">[16]</a>;
+"upholding the universe by his word of power" (Heb 1:3).
+Accordingly, the Psalmist prays: "Keep me, O Lord, for I have put
+my trust in you" [Ps 16:1]. Now we are kept from evil and from sin
+in the name of God; thus he says, <b>keep them in your name,</b>
+that means, by the power of your name and of your knowledge, for in
+these lay our glory and our well&#8209;being: "Some trust in
+chariots, and some in horses. But we will call upon the name of the
+Lord our God" [Ps 20:7].</p>
+<p>He is praying for those who were given to him; he says, <b>which
+you have given me:</b> "Consider the work of God; who can make
+straight what he has made crooked?" (Eccl 7:13). For one can be

+says, <b>which you have given me,</b> that is, by a gift of grace,
+so that they remain with me: "Not all men can receive this precept,
+but only those to whom it is given" (Mt 19:11). Those who are given
+to Christ in this way are kept from evil.</p>
+<p>Then he states why he is asking for their protection, saying,
+<b>that they may be one, even as we are one.</b> This can be
+connected with what has gone before in two ways. In the first way,
+it shows the way they will be kept or protected. Then the meaning
+is: They will be kept and protected by being kept as one. For a

+<p>2215 Then he mentions why they need this protection (v 2). They
+need it for two reasons: because he is leaving them; and because
+the world hates them (v 14). He does three things about the first:
+he recalls the eagerness with which he protected them while he was
+with them; secondly, he states he is leaving (v 13a); thirdly, he
+mentions why he is saying these things (v 13b). Three things are
+done with the first: first, he mentions the way he protected them;
+secondly, his obligation to protect them; and thirdly, the
+effectiveness of his protection.</p>
+<p>2216 The way they were protected was appropriate, because it was
+by the power of the Father. Accordingly, he says, <b>While I was
+with them,</b> that is, physically present &#8209; "Afterward he
+appeared on earth and lived among men" (Bar 3:37) &#8209; <b>I</b>,
+the Son of man, <b>kept</b>, that is, protected <b>them</b> from
+evil and sin, not by human power, but rather by divine power,
+because it was <b>in your name</b>. This name is also common to the
+Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit &#8209; "Baptizing them in the
+name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Mt
+28:19) &#8209; because the Father and the Son are one God, and
+because the name of "Son" is implied in the name "Father," for one
+who has a son is called a Father.</p>
+<p>Note that before, when Christ denied that he had a devil, he did
+not deny that he was a Samaritan, that is, a guardian, because
+Christ is a guardian: "Watchman, what of the night?" (Is 21:11),
+that is, the night of this world, for like a shepherd, Christ
+guards his flock.</p>
+<p>2217 His obligation to protect them is stated when he says,
+<b>which you have given me,</b> for a guardian is bound to protect
+those placed in his care: "Keep this man" (1 Kgs 20:39); "I will
+take my stand to watch" (Hab 2:1). This is the way a superior acts
+when he carefully watches over those entrusted to his care: "And in
+that region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch
+over their flock by night" (Lk 2:8).</p>
 <p>2218 The effectiveness of Christ's protection is complete,
-because none of them is lost: "My sheep hear my voice ... and no one shall
-snatch them out of my hand" (10:27); "Every one who ... believes in him [the
-Son] should have eternal life" (6:40). One person is excluded, that is, <b>the
-son of perdition, </b>Judas. He is called the son of perdition as though
-foreknown and foreordained to eternal perdition. In this way those destined to
-die are called the sons of death: "You are the sons of death" [1 Sam 26:16];
-"You traverse sea and land to make a single proselyte ... and you make him a
-son of death twice as much as yourself" [Mt 23: 15].
-
-<p>A Gloss says that a "son of death
-is one who is predestined to perdition."<a href="#_ftn18" name="_ftnref18"
-title="">[18]</a>
-It is not customary to say that one is predestined to evil, and so here we
-should understand predestination in its general meaning of knowledge or
-orientation. Actually, predestination is always directed to what is good,
-because it has the double effect of grace and glory; and it is God who directs
-us to each of these. Two things are involved in reprobation: guilt, and
-punishment in time. And God ordains a person to only one of these, that is,
-punishment, and even this is not for its own sake. <b>That the scripture, </b>in
-which you predicted that he would betray me &#8209; "Wicked and deceitful
-mouths are opened against me" (Ps 109:2) &#8209; <b>might be fulfilled.</b>
-
-<p>2219 <b>But now I am coming to you</b>, physically leaving
-them: "I am leaving the world and going to the Father" (16:28). He had said
-before, "I kept them in your name," so that some would not fall into unbelief
-by misunderstanding this present statement (v 13) to mean that he could not
-protect them after he had left, or that the Father was not protecting them before.
-The Father was protecting them before. And the Son could also protect them
-after he left.
-
-<p>2220 He gives the reason why he said these things when he
-says, <b>and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy
-fulfilled in themselves. </b>It is like saying: I am like a man who is praying,
-and I am speaking these things to console my disciples, who think that I am
-merely human, so that at least they can be consoled because I am entrusting
-them to you, Father, whom they believe to be greater than I, and so they can
-rejoice in your protection. This is the interpretation of Chrysostom.<a
-href="#_ftn19" name="_ftnref19">[19]</a>
-
-<p>In the interpretation of Augustine,
-this present statement is related to "that they may be one, even as we are one"
-(v 11).<a href="#_ftn20" name="_ftnref20">[20]</a>
-In this case, these words (v 13) indicate the fruit of being one. It is like
-saying: <b>that they may have my joy</b>, by which they can rejoice in me, or,
-which they have received from me, <b>fulfilled in themselves. </b>They will
-obtain this joy by a unity of spirit, which will give them the joy of eternal
-life, which is full joy. And so this joy follows upon being one, because unity
-and peace produce perfect joy: "Those who follow plans for peace have joy" [Prv
-12:20]; "The fruit of the Spirit is joy" (Gal 5:22).
-
-<p>2221 Now we have another reason why they need protection,
-which is because of the hatred of the world. First he mentions the benefit he
-had given his disciples; secondly, the hatred of the world for them (v 14); and
-thirdly, he asks the Father's help to protect them (v 15).
-
-<p>2222 He says, <b>I have given them your word</b>, which I
-have received from you: "I have given them the words which you gave me" (17:7).
-Or,<b> I have given</b>, that is, I will give them, by the inspiration of the
-Paraclete, <b>your word</b>, that is, the word about yourself, which is the
-greatest of gifts and benefits: "I will give you a good gift, do not abandon my
-law" [Prv 4:2].
-
-<p>2223 The result of this is the hatred of the world: because
-they have received your word, <b>the world has hated them: </b>"Blessed are you
-when men hate you" (Lk 6:22); "Do not wonder, brethren, that the world hates
-you" (1 Jn 3:13). The reason for this hatred is that they have left the world.
-For the word of God causes us to leave the world since it unites us to God, and
-one cannot be joined to God without leaving the world, for one who loves the
-world does not have a perfect love for God. Thus he says, <b>because they are
-not of the world: </b>"I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates
-you" (15:19). For it is natural for one to love others who are similar: "Every
-beast loves its own kind, and hates the others" [Sir 13:19]; "The very sight of
-him is a burden to us," and this is "because his manner of life is unlike that
-of others" (Wis 2:15).
-
-<p>2224 Then he mentions the model according to which they are
-not of the world when he says, <b>even as I am not of the world</b>.<b> </b>This
-should be understood to refer to their affections, for just as Christ was not
-in the world by his affections, so neither were they. It does not apply to
-their origin, because at one time they were of the world, while Christ was
-never of the world because even considering his birth in the flesh he was of
-the Holy Spirit: "You are of this world, I am not of this world" (8:23).
-
-<p>2225 Then he asks for help in facing this hatred when he
-says, <b>I do not pray that you should take them out of the world, but that you
-should keep them from evil</b>. First, he makes his prayer; secondly, he gives
-the reason for what he asks, <b>they are not of the world.</b>
-
+because none of them is lost: "My sheep hear my voice ... and no
+one shall snatch them out of my hand" (10:27); "Every one who ...
+believes in him [the Son] should have eternal life" (6:40). One

+not of the world.</b></p>
 <p>2226 He mentions two things in the first. He says he is not
-asking for one thing, which is that they be taken out of the world. But how can
-they be taken out of the world who are not of the world? We should say that
-they are not of the world as regards their affections, as we said before. But
-they are of the world by continuing to be physically present in it, and in this
-way he does not want them to be taken out of the world. This is because they
-would be of benefit to the faithful whom they would bring to the faith: "Go
-into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation" (Mk 16:15).
-
-<p>He asks for something else, namely,
-that while they remain physically in the world the Father <b>should keep them
-from evil, </b>that is, worldly evil; for it is difficult for a person who
-lives among those who are bad to remain free from evil, especially since the
-entire world is set in evil: "When you pass through the waters I will be with
-you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you" (Is 43:2).
-
+asking for one thing, which is that they be taken out of the world.
+But how can they be taken out of the world who are not of the

 <p>2227 He gives the reason for this request when he says, <b>they
-are not of the world. </b>This seems to be a useless repetition since he had
-just said the same thing. But, indeed, it is not useless, because they are
-spoken in different contexts. They were spoken before to show why the disciples
-were hated by the world; here they are spoken to show why they should be
-protected by God.
-
-<p>We can see from this that the
-reason why the saints are hated by the world is the same as the reason why God
-loves them, that is, their disdain for the world: "Has not God chosen those who
-are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which he has
-promised to those who love him?" (Jas 2:5). Therefore, whatever good a person
-does makes this person hateful to the world, but loved by God: "We sacrifice
-what the Egyptians worship" [Ex 8:27].

-

-
-<p>2229 He says: I have prayed that my disciples be kept from

 <p>2231 They need to be sanctified not only because of the task
-they have been given, but also because their sanctification has already been
-begun by me. Thus he says, <b>and for their sake I sanctify myself. </b>According
-to Augustine, we should note that there are two natures in Christ.<a
-href="#_ftn21" name="_ftnref21">[21]</a>
-Christ is holy by essence, considering his divine nature; while he is holy by
-grace, which is derived from the divine nature, considering his human nature.
-Referring to his divine nature he says, <b>I sanctify myself</b>, by taking on
-flesh for them. I do this in order that the sanctity or holiness of grace,
-which is found in my humanity, but is also from me as God, might flow from me
-to them, because "from his fullness we have all received" (1:16). "It is like
-the precious oil upon the head," and this head is Christ, who is God, "running
-down upon the beard, upon the beard of Aaron," that is, upon his human nature,
-and from here, "running down on the collar of his robes," that is, to us. (Ps
-133:2).
-
-<p>Or, according to Chrysostom, he is
-asking they be sanctified by a spiritual sanctification.<a href="#_ftn22"
-name="_ftnref22">[22]</a>
-In the Old Testament there were sanctifications of the body: "Cleansing of the
-body imposed until the time comes to set things right" [Heb 9:10]. These were
-figures of a spiritual sanctification, and these figures involved the offering
-of some sacrifice. And so it was appropriate that some sacrifice be offered for
-the sanctification of the disciples. This is what he is saying: I sanctify
-myself in order that they might be sanctified, that is, I am offering myself as
-a sacrifice: "who offered himself without blemish to God" (Heb 9:14); "So Jesus
-also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own
-blood" (Heb 13:12). He did this in truth, not in a figure, as was done in the

-strengthened, <b>through their word, </b>the word of the apostles. It is right
-for him to ask this, because no one is saved except by the intercession of
-Christ. So that it was not only the apostles who were saved, but also others,
-he also had to pray for these others: "He loved your fathers and chose their descendants
-after them" (Deut 4:37); "Their prosperity will remain with their descendants"
-(Sir 44:11).
-
-<p>2234 The objection is made that he does not seem to be
-praying for all his faithful, because he is praying for those who would be
-converted by the word of the apostles. But the old fathers and John the
-Baptizer were not converted by their word. We should answer that these persons
-had already arrived at their destination; and although they were not enjoying
-the vision of God, since the price had not yet been paid, they went from this
-world with their merits, so that as soon as the gate was opened they would
-enter. Thus, they did not need such prayer.
-
-<p>2235 Again, what of others who did not believe through the
-word of the apostles, but through Christ's, like Paul believed: "I did not
-receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through a revelation of
-Jesus Christ" (Gal 1:12), or like the thief on the cross (Lk 23:43). It does
-not seem that Christ prayed for them. The answer, according to Augustine, is
-that those are said to believe through the word of the apostles who not only
-listened to the apostles, but those also who believed through the word [as
-coming from others] which the apostles preached, which is the word of faith
-(Rom 10:8).<a href="#_ftn24" name="_ftnref24">[24]</a>
-The word of faith is called the word of the apostles because they were
-especially commissioned to preach it. The same word was divinely revealed to
-Paul and the thief on the cross. Or, one could say that those who were
-converted directly by and through Christ, like Paul and the thief on the cross,
-and others like these, are included in that part of the prayer in which our
-Lord prayed for his disciples. And so our Lord said: "whom you gave me" (17:6),
-or will give me.
-
-<p>2236 What about us, who do not believe through the apostles?
-We should say that although we do not believe through the apostles, we do
-believe through their disciples.
-
-<p>2237 He prays for a perfect unity when he says, <b>that they
-may all be one. </b>First, he mentions the unity he is asking for; secondly, he
-gives an example of it, and its cause,<b> as you, Father, are in me</b>;
-thirdly, he gives the fruit of unity, <b>that the world may believe.</b>
-
-<p>2238 He says: I am praying <b>that they may all be one</b>.
-As the Platonists say, a thing acquires its unity from that from which it
-acquires its goodness. For that is good for a thing which preserves it; and a
-thing is preserved only if it remains one. Thus when our Lord prays that his
-disciples be perfect in goodness, he prays that they be one. Indeed, this was
-accomplished: "Now the company of those who believed were of one heart and
-soul" (Acts 4:32); "Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in
-unity" (Ps 133:1).
-
-<p>2239 He gives an example of this unity and its cause,
-saying, <b>even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you</b>. Others are one,
-but in evil. Our Lord is not asking for this kind of unity, but that which
-unites in good, that is, in God. And so he says, <b>as you, Father, are in me,
-and I in you</b>, that is, let them be united by believing in me and in you:
-"We, though many, are one body in Christ" (Rom 12:5); "Eager to keep the unity
-of the Spirit ... one Lord, one faith, one baptism" (Eph 4:3). We are one or
-united in the Father and the Son, who are one; for if we were seeking different
-things to believe and desire, our affections would be scattered.
-
+they have been given, but also because their sanctification has
+already been begun by me. Thus he says, <b>and for their sake I
+sanctify myself.</b> According to Augustine, we should note that
+there are two natures in Christ.<a href="#_ftn21" name="_ftnref21"
+id="_ftnref21">[21]</a> Christ is holy by essence, considering his
+divine nature; while he is holy by grace, which is derived from the
+divine nature, considering his human nature. Referring to his
+divine nature he says, <b>I sanctify myself</b>, by taking on flesh
+for them. I do this in order that the sanctity or holiness of
+grace, which is found in my humanity, but is also from me as God,
+might flow from me to them, because "from his fullness we have all
+received" (1:16). "It is like the precious oil upon the head," and
+this head is Christ, who is God, "running down upon the beard, upon
+the beard of Aaron," that is, upon his human nature, and from here,
+"running down on the collar of his robes," that is, to us. (Ps
+133:2).</p>
+<p>Or, according to Chrysostom, he is asking they be sanctified by
+a spiritual sanctification.<a href="#_ftn22" name="_ftnref22" id=
+"_ftnref22">[22]</a> In the Old Testament there were
+sanctifications of the body: "Cleansing of the body imposed until
+the time comes to set things right" [Heb 9:10]. These were figures
+of a spiritual sanctification, and these figures involved the
+offering of some sacrifice. And so it was appropriate that some
+sacrifice be offered for the sanctification of the disciples. This
+is what he is saying: I sanctify myself in order that they might be
+sanctified, that is, I am offering myself as a sacrifice: "who
+offered himself without blemish to God" (Heb 9:14); "So Jesus also
+suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through
+his own blood" (Heb 13:12). He did this in truth, not in a figure,
+as was done in the Old Testament.<br />

+</blockquote>
+<p>2232 After our Lord prayed for his disciples, he now prays in
+general for all the faithful. First, we see his prayer; secondly,
+he states why he should be heard (v 25). In his prayer he asks the
+Father two things for those who follow him: first, a perfect unity;
+secondly, the vision of glory, <b>I desire that they also ... may
+be with me</b> (v 24). He does two things about the first: he asks,
+as man, for a perfect unity; secondly, he shows that as God he
+gives them the ability to acquire this unity (v 22). He does two
+things with the first: he mentions for whom he is asking; secondly,
+what he is asking for, <b>that they may be one</b> (v 22b).</p>
+<p>2233 He is praying for the entire community of the faithful. He
+says: I have asked that you protect my disciples from evil, and
+that you sanctify them in the truth; but <b>I do not pray for these
+only, but also for those who will believe,</b> that is, for those
+whose faith will be strengthened, <b>through their word,</b> the

+... one Lord, one faith, one baptism" (Eph 4:3). We are one or
+united in the Father and the Son, who are one; for if we were
+seeking different things to believe and desire, our affections
+would be scattered.</p>
 <p>2240 Arius uses this passage to argue that the Son is in the
-Father and the Father in the Son in the same way that we are in God. However,
-we are not in God by a unity of essence, but by a conformity of will and love.
-Therefore, he says, like us, the Father is not in the Son by a unity of
-essence.
-
-<p>We should say to this that there is
-a twofold unity of the Father and the Son: a unity of essence and of love. In
-both of these ways the Father is in the Son and the Son is in the Father. The <b>even
-as you, Father, are in me, and I in you</b>, can be understood of the unity of
-love, according to Augustine, and then the meaning is: <b>even as you, Father,
-are in me</b>, through love, because love, charity, makes one be with God.<a
-href="#_ftn25" name="_ftnref25">[25]</a>
-It is like saying: as the Father loves the Son and the Son loves the Father, so
-the disciples love the Father and the Son. Then the words even as do not imply
-equality but a remote likeness.
-
-<p>Or, according to Hilary, this
-statement can refer to a unity of nature; not indeed that the same numerical
-nature is in us and in the Father and the Son, but in the sense that our unity
-resembles that of the divine nature, by which the Father and the Son are one.<a
-href="#_ftn26" name="_ftnref26">[26]</a>
-In this case the words<b> even as</b> indicate a certain imitation. That is why
-we are invited to imitate divine love: "Be imitators of God, as beloved
-children, and walk in love, as Christ loved us" (Eph 5:1). And we are also to
-imitate the divine perfection or goodness: "You, therefore, must be perfect, as
-your heavenly Father is perfect" (Mt 5:48).

+(Eph 5:1). And we are also to imitate the divine perfection or
+goodness: "You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father
+is perfect" (Mt 5:48).</p>
 <p>2241 He indicates the fruit of this unity when he says, <b>so
-that the world may believe: </b>for nothing shows the truth of the gospel
-better than the charity of those who believe: "By this all men will know that
-you are my disciples, if you have love for one another" (13:35). This will be
-the fruit of unity: because if my disciples are one, the world may believe that
-the teaching I gave to them is from you, and know that you have sent me. For
-God is a cause of peace, not of contentions.
-
-<p>2242 There is a problem here. If we will be perfectly one in
-our homeland, where we will not believe [but see], it seems out of place to
-say, after mentioning unity, <b>that the world may believe that you have sent
-me</b>. Our reply is that our Lord is speaking here of the unity which is
-taking shape and not of perfected unity.
-
-<p>2243 There is another problem. Our Lord is praying that
-those who believe in him may be one; therefore, even the believing world is
-one. Therefore, how can he say, after the world has become one, <b>that the
-world may believe</b>? One can answer by giving the mystical sense. Then our
-Lord is praying that all believers be one. Yet all would not believe at the
-same time; some would be the first to believe, and they would convert others.
-So when he says, <b>that the world may believe</b>, it refers to those who did
-not believe at first, from the beginning, but when they did believe they did
-become one. And the same applies to those who would believe after them, and
-continuing to the end of the world.
-
-<p>Hilary has another interpretation.<a
-href="#_ftn27" name="_ftnref27">[27]</a>
-The words <b>so that the world may believe </b>indicates the purpose of their
-unity and perfection. It is like saying: you will perfect them so that they may
-be one, for this purpose,<b> so</b> <b>that the world may believe that you have
-sent me</b>. Here the words <b>so that </b>indicate a final cause.
-
-<p>A third interpretation is by
-Augustine.<a href="#_ftn28" name="_ftnref28">[28]</a>
-For him, <b>that the world may believe</b>, is another petition. In this case
-the <b>I pray </b>(v 20) has to be repeated, so that the sense is: I pray that
-they may be one, and I pray that the world may believe.
-
-<p>2244 Christ's part in establishing this unity is mentioned
-when he says, <b>the glory which you have given me, I have given to them</b>,
-since what he is asking for as man he is accomplishing as God. First, he shows
-that he acted to make them one; secondly, he mentions the kind and degree of
-this unity, <b>I in them and you in me</b>; and thirdly, we see the purpose of
-this unity,<b> so that the world may know </b>(v 23).
-
+that the world may believe:</b> for nothing shows the truth of the

 <p>2245 He says: Although, as man, I am asking for their
-perfection, still I am accomplishing this together with you, because <b>the
-glory</b>, of my resurrection, <b>which you</b>, Father, <b>have given me</b>,
-by an eternal predestination, and which you will soon give me in reality, <b>I
-have given to them</b>, my disciples. This glory is the immortality which the
-faithful will receive at the resurrection, an immortality even of the body:
-"Who will change our lowly body to be like his glorious body" (Phil 3:21); "It
-is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory" (1 Cor 15:43). And this is <b>so
-that they may be one</b>, because by the fact that they have glory they will be
-made one, <b>even as we are one</b>.
-
-<p>2246 He seems to be distinguishing his own activity from
-that of the Father, for he says that the Father gave him glory, and Christ gave
-this to his faithful. If this is understood correctly, we see that he is not
-saying these things to distinguish their activities, but their persons. For the
-Son, as Son, together with the Father, gives glory to Christ in his human
-nature, and together with the Father Christ gives it to the faithful. But
-because Christ gave glory to his faithful especially through his own human
-nature, he attributes this giving to himself, while he attributes to the Father
-the giving of glory to his own human nature. This is the opinion of Augustine.<a
-href="#_ftn29" name="_ftnref29">[29]</a>
-
-<p>Or, according to Chrysostom, <b>the
-glory</b>, that is, the glory of grace, <b>which you have given me</b>, in my
-human nature, giving me a superior knowledge, perfection, and power to
-accomplish miracles, <b>I have given to them</b>, in a limited way, and will
-give it later more fully: "We are being changed into his likeness from one
-degree of glory to another" (2 Cor 3:18); "You have given gifts to men" [Ps
-68:18].<a href="#_ftn30" name="_ftnref30">[30]</a>
-And this is in order <b>that they may be one even as we are one, </b>for the
-purpose of God's gifts is to unite us in a unity which is like the unity of the
-Father and the Son.
-
+perfection, still I am accomplishing this together with you,
+because <b>the glory</b>, of my resurrection, <b>which you</b>,
+Father, <b>have given me</b>, by an eternal predestination, and
+which you will soon give me in reality, <b>I have given to

+that he is not saying these things to distinguish their activities,
+but their persons. For the Son, as Son, together with the Father,
+gives glory to Christ in his human nature, and together with the
+Father Christ gives it to the faithful. But because Christ gave
+glory to his faithful especially through his own human nature, he
+attributes this giving to himself, while he attributes to the
+Father the giving of glory to his own human nature. This is the
+opinion of Augustine.<a href="#_ftn29" name="_ftnref29" id=

+<p>Or, according to Chrysostom, <b>the glory</b>, that is, the
+glory of grace, <b>which you have given me</b>, in my human nature,
+giving me a superior knowledge, perfection, and power to accomplish
+miracles, <b>I have given to them</b>, in a limited way, and will
+give it later more fully: "We are being changed into his likeness
+from one degree of glory to another" (2 Cor 3:18); "You have given

+"_ftnref30">[30]</a> And this is in order <b>that they may be one
+even as we are one,</b> for the purpose of God's gifts is to unite
+us in a unity which is like the unity of the Father and the
+Son.</p>
 <p>2247 The manner of this unity is added when he says, <b>I in
-them and you in me</b>. They arrive at unity, because they see that I am in
-them, as in a temple: "Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's
-Spirit dwells in you?" (1 Cor 3:16), by grace, which is a certain likeness of
-the Father's essence, by which you, Father, are in me by a unity of nature: "I
-am in the Father and the Father in me" (14:10). And this is in order <b>that
-they may become perfectly one</b>.
-
-<p>Above, he had said, "that they may
-be one" (v 22), while here he says, <b>perfectly one</b>. The reason for this
-is that the first time he was referring to the unity brought about by grace,
-but here to its consummation. Hilary gives another interpretation: <b>I in them</b>,
-that is, I am in them by the unity of human nature, which I have in common with
-them, and also because I give them my body as food; <b>and you in me</b>, by a
-unity of essence.<a href="#_ftn31" name="_ftnref31">[31]</a>
-
-<p>2248 Referring to the first explanation [the unity from
-grace], since the Father also, as well as the Son, is in them by grace - "We
-will come to him and make our home with him" (14:23) &#8209; why does he say, <b>I
-in them</b>, without mentioning the Father? According to Augustine, he does
-this because they have access to the Father through the Son: "We have peace
-with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have obtained access"
-(Rom 5:1); and it does not mean that the Son is in them without the Father. Or,
-according to Chrysostom, above Christ said, "We will come to him" (14:23), to
-indicate that there is a plurality of divine persons, contrary to Sabellius;
-but here he says, <b>I in them</b>, to indicate the equality of the Father and
-the Son, contrary to Arius. We can understand from this that it is enough for
-the faithful if the Son alone dwells in them.
-
-<p>2249 The purpose of this unity is given when he says, <b>so
-that the world may know that you have sent me</b>. If the "perfectly one" (v
-23) refers to the perfection of this life, then <b>that the world may know </b>is
-the same as what he said before, "that the world may believe" (v 21). This
-would indicate just a beginning state. But here he is saying,<b> know</b>,
-because complete knowledge, not faith, comes after imperfect knowledge.
-
-<p>He says, <b>that the world may
-know, </b>not the world as it is now, but as it was [will be?], so that the
-meaning is: <b>so that the world, </b>now a believing world, <b>may know</b>.
-Or, <b>so that the world, </b>that is, the lovers of the world, <b>may know </b>that
-you have sent me: for by that time those who are evil will know by clear signs that
-Christ is the Son of God: "Every eye will see him" (Rev 1:7); "They shall look
-on him whom they have pierced" (19:37); "They will see the Son of man coming in
-a cloud with power and great glory" (Lk 21:27).
-
-<p>2250 The world will not only know this, it will also know
-the glory of the saints, <b>that you have loved them</b>, that is, the
-faithful. At the present time we cannot know how great God's love for us is:
-this is because the good things that God will give us exceed our longings and
-desires, and so cannot be found in our heart: "What no eye has seen, nor ear
-heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love
-him" (1 Cor 2:9).
-
-<p>Thus the believing world, that is,
-the saints, will now know by experience how much God loves us; but the lovers
-of the world, that is, the wicked, will know this by seeing in amazement the
-glory of the saints: "This is the man whom we once held in derision ... Why has
-he been numbered among the sons of God? And why is his lot among the saints?"
-(Wis 5:4); and it continues, "Why has he been numbered among the sons of God?
-And why is his lot among the saints?" (v 4).
-
-<p>2251 He continues, <b>as you have loved me. </b>This does
-not imply an equality of love, but a similarity and a reason. It is like
-saying: the love you have for me is the reason and cause why you love them: for
-by the fact that you love me, you love those who love me and are my members:
-"The Father himself loves you, because you have loved me" (16:27).
-
-<p>God loves all the things he has
-made, by giving them existence: "For you love all things that exist, and have
-loathing for none of the things you have made" (Wis 11:24). But above all he
-loves his only Son, to whom he has given his entire nature by an eternal
-generation. In a lesser way he loves the members of his only Son, that is, the
-faithful of Christ, by giving them the grace by which Christ dwells in them:
-"He loved his people; all those consecrated to him were in his hand" (Deut
-33:3).

+them and you in me</b>. They arrive at unity, because they see that
+I am in them, as in a temple: "Do you not know that you are God's
+temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?" (1 Cor 3:16), by
+grace, which is a certain likeness of the Father's essence, by
+which you, Father, are in me by a unity of nature: "I am in the
+Father and the Father in me" (14:10). And this is in order <b>that
+they may become perfectly one</b>.</p>
+<p>Above, he had said, "that they may be one" (v 22), while here he
+says, <b>perfectly one</b>. The reason for this is that the first
+time he was referring to the unity brought about by grace, but here
+to its consummation. Hilary gives another interpretation: <b>I in
+them</b>, that is, I am in them by the unity of human nature, which
+I have in common with them, and also because I give them my body as
+food; <b>and you in me</b>, by a unity of essence.<a href="#_ftn31"
+name="_ftnref31" id="_ftnref31">[31]</a></p>
+<p>2248 Referring to the first explanation [the unity from grace],
+since the Father also, as well as the Son, is in them by grace -
+"We will come to him and make our home with him" (14:23) &#8209;
+why does he say, <b>I in them</b>, without mentioning the Father?
+According to Augustine, he does this because they have access to
+the Father through the Son: "We have peace with God through our
+Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have obtained access" (Rom 5:1);
+and it does not mean that the Son is in them without the Father.
+Or, according to Chrysostom, above Christ said, "We will come to
+him" (14:23), to indicate that there is a plurality of divine
+persons, contrary to Sabellius; but here he says, <b>I in them</b>,
+to indicate the equality of the Father and the Son, contrary to
+Arius. We can understand from this that it is enough for the
+faithful if the Son alone dwells in them.</p>
+<p>2249 The purpose of this unity is given when he says, <b>so that
+the world may know that you have sent me</b>. If the "perfectly
+one" (v 23) refers to the perfection of this life, then <b>that the
+world may know</b> is the same as what he said before, "that the
+world may believe" (v 21). This would indicate just a beginning
+state. But here he is saying, <b>know</b>, because complete
+knowledge, not faith, comes after imperfect knowledge.</p>
+<p>He says, <b>that the world may know,</b> not the world as it is
+now, but as it was [will be?], so that the meaning is: <b>so that
+the world,</b> now a believing world, <b>may know</b>. Or, <b>so
+that the world,</b> that is, the lovers of the world, <b>may
+know</b> that you have sent me: for by that time those who are evil
+will know by clear signs that Christ is the Son of God: "Every eye
+will see him" (Rev 1:7); "They shall look on him whom they have
+pierced" (19:37); "They will see the Son of man coming in a cloud
+with power and great glory" (Lk 21:27).</p>
+<p>2250 The world will not only know this, it will also know the
+glory of the saints, <b>that you have loved them</b>, that is, the
+faithful. At the present time we cannot know how great God's love
+for us is: this is because the good things that God will give us
+exceed our longings and desires, and so cannot be found in our
+heart: "What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man
+conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him" (1 Cor
+2:9).</p>
+<p>Thus the believing world, that is, the saints, will now know by
+experience how much God loves us; but the lovers of the world, that
+is, the wicked, will know this by seeing in amazement the glory of
+the saints: "This is the man whom we once held in derision ... Why
+has he been numbered among the sons of God? And why is his lot
+among the saints?" (Wis 5:4); and it continues, "Why has he been
+numbered among the sons of God? And why is his lot among the
+saints?" (v 4).</p>
+<p>2251 He continues, <b>as you have loved me.</b> This does not
+imply an equality of love, but a similarity and a reason. It is
+like saying: the love you have for me is the reason and cause why
+you love them: for by the fact that you love me, you love those who
+love me and are my members: "The Father himself loves you, because
+you have loved me" (16:27).</p>
+<p>God loves all the things he has made, by giving them existence:
+"For you love all things that exist, and have loathing for none of

 <p>2252 Above, our Lord prayed for the perfect unity of his
-disciples; here he is asking the vision of glory for them. First, he mentions
-the persons for whom he is praying; secondly, he shows the way he is praying;
-thirdly, he states what he is asking for.
-
-<p>2253 He is praying for those given to him; he says, <b>whom
-you have given me. </b>That is given to a person which is subject to his will,
-so he can do with it as he wills. We can distinguish two wills in Christ: a
-will to mercy and a will to justice. His will to mercy is fundamental and
-absolute, because "His compassion is over all that he has made" (Ps 145:9);
-"who desires all men to be saved" (1 Tim 2:4). But his will for a punishing
-justice is not fundamental, as it presupposes sin: "God does not delight in the
-destruction of men" [Wis 1:13]; and in Ezekiel [18:32] we read: "I do not
-desire the death of the sinner," absolutely; but he wills it as a consequence
-of sin.<a href="#_ftn32" name="_ftnref32">[32]</a>
-
-<p>All men have been given to the Son:
-"You have given him power over all flesh" (17:2), that is, over all men, to
-accomplish his will in their regard: his will for mercy, leading to salvation,
-or his will for justice, leading to punishment: "He is the one ordained by God
-to be judge of the living and the dead" (Acts 10:42). But those were given to
-him absolutely who were given to him so that he might accomplish his will of
-mercy for their salvation; he says of these people, <b>whom you have given to

 <p>2254 The way he asks is given when he says, <b>I desire</b>.
-This can indicate authority or merit. It indicates authority if we refer this
-to Christ's divine will, which is the same as the will of the Father: for by
-his will he justifies and saves men: "He has mercy upon whomever he wills" (Rom
-9:18). If we refer this to Christ's human will, it indicates merit, for Christ's
-human will merits our salvation. For if the wills of the just, who are the
-members of Christ, have merit entitling them to be heard &#8209; "Ask whatever
-you will, and it shall be done for you" (15:7) &#8209; much more so does the
-human will of Christ, who is the head of all the saints.

+of all the saints.</p>
 <p>2255 He mentions what he is asking for when he says, <b>that
-they also ... may be with me. </b>First, he asks that the members be united to
-the head; secondly, that his glory be shown to his members, <b>to behold my
-glory.</b>
-
+they also ... may be with me.</b> First, he asks that the members
+be united to the head; secondly, that his glory be shown to his
+members, <b>to behold my glory.</b></p>
 <p>2256 He says, <b>I desire that they also ... may be with me
-where I am</b>. This can be understood in two ways. In the first way it can be
-understood of Christ in his human nature. Christ, in his human nature, is soon
-to ascend and to be in heaven: "I am ascending to my Father and your Father"
-(20:17). Then the meaning is: <b>I desire that they also, </b>the faithful, <b>may
-be with me, </b>in heaven, <b>where I am</b> about to ascend: "Wherever the
-body is, there the eagles," that is, the saints, "will be gathered together"
-(Mt 24:28). For this is what Christ promised: "Rejoice and be glad, for your
-reward is great in heaven" (Mt 5:12).
-
-<p>2257 There is a difficulty with this meaning. Since Christ
-was not yet in heaven, he should have said, "where I will be," and not "where I
-am." And besides, he also said, "No one has ascended into heaven but he who
-descended from heaven" (3:13).
-
-<p>I reply to the first that Christ,
-who was speaking, was both God and man. And although he was not yet in heaven
-in his human nature, he was there in his divine nature. And so, while present
-on earth, he was in heaven; and thus he says, <b>where I am</b>.
-
-<p>As to the second objection, when we
-read that "No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended from heaven"
-(3:13), we should understand that the Son is in heaven by reason of his
-divinity, and descended by taking on a human nature, and then ascended by
-reason of his human nature, now glorified. But now we have been made one with
-him. Thus, he alone comes, in himself, by descending from heaven, and he alone
-returns there, now one with us, by ascending into heaven. This is the
-observation of Gregory, (<i>Morals</i>, 28).<a href="#_ftn33" name="_ftnref33"
-title="">[33]</a>
-
-<p>He says,<b> where I am</b>, using
-the present tense instead of the future, either because he would very soon be
-there, or because he was referring to Christ as God.
-
-<p>2258 But since God is everywhere &#8209; "Do I not fill
-heaven and earth" (Jer 23:24) &#8209; it seems to follow that the saints also
-will be everywhere. We should reply to this that God is related to us like
-light is. When the sun is over the earth, the light spreads everywhere. And
-although the light is with all, yet all are not in the light, but only those
-who see it. So, since God is everywhere, he is with all, wherever they are; yet
-not all are with God, but only those joined to him by faith and love; and they
-will be finally joined in complete joy: "I am continually with you" (Ps 73:23);
-"We shall always be with the Lord" (1 Thess 4:17).
-
-<p>Thus the meaning is this: <b>where
-I am</b>, that is, in your divinity, Father, which I have by nature, <b>they
-may be with me, </b>by participating in grace: "He gave power to become
-children of God" (1:12); "He who abides in love abides in God, and God abides
-in him" (1 Jn 4:16).
-
-<p>2259 He speaks of manifesting his glory to his members when
-he says, <b>to behold my glory. </b>First, he makes his request; secondly, he
-mentions the source of this glory, <b>which you have given me; </b>thirdly, he
-gives the reason for this glory, <b>in your love for me</b>.
-
-<p>2260 He says that he not only wants them to be with him, but
-he also wants them <b>to behold my glory, </b>in a beatifying vision: "When he
-appears we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is" (1 Jn 3:2). This
-can be understood to refer to the glory of his human nature after the
-resurrection &#8209; "He will change our lowly body to be like his glorious
-body" (Phil 3:21) &#8209; or to the glory of his divine nature, for he is the
-radiance of the Father's glory and the image of his substance, as we see from
-Hebrews (1:3); "The radiance of eternal light" [Wis 7:26]. The saints in glory
-will see both of these glories. We read about the first [the glory of Christ's
-human nature]: "Your eyes will see the king in his beauty" (Is 33:17). The
-wicked will see this glory only at the judgment: "And then they will see the
-Son of man coming in a cloud with power and majesty" [Lk 21:27]; and Mark adds
-"and glory" (Mk 13:26). But the sight of this glory will be taken away from
-them after the judgment: "Let the wicked be taken away so they cannot see the
-glory of the Lord" [Is 26:10], as we read in one version. Yet the saints will
-see the second glory [that of the divine nature] forever: "In your light," that
-is, of grace, "do we see light," that is, of glory, which the wicked will never
-see.
-
-<p>2261 The source of this glory is the Father: so he says, <b>which
-you have given me. </b>He gave him the glory of his body at the resurrection.
-Although this still remained to be done, it had already been done in the divine
-decree; and this is why he says, <b>have given: </b>"You have crowned him with
-glory" [Ps 8:5]. But he gave him divine glory from all eternity, because the Son
-is from the Father from all eternity, like radiance from light.
-
-<p>2262 He gives the explanation for the glory given to him
-when he says, <b>in your love for me before the foundation of the world. </b>If
-we refer this to Christ in his human nature, then the <i>in</i><b> </b>indicates
-the cause. For just as love and predestination are the cause why we have the
-radiance of grace in the present life and of glory in the future &#8209; "He
-chose us in him before the foundation of the world" (Eph 1:4) &#8209; so also
-it is the cause of the radiance which Christ has in his human nature,
-"predestined the Son of God in power" [Rom 1:4]. So the meaning is this: I say
-that you have given me this radiance: and the cause of this is that you have
-loved me, <b>in your love for me before the foundation of the world. </b>The
-result being that this man is united to the Son of God to form one person:
-"Blessed is he whom you choose and bring near, to dwell in your courts" (Ps
-65:4).
-
-<p>If we refer this to Christ as God,
-then the <i>in </i>indicates a sign. For then the Father did not give because
-he loved: for when we say the Father gave to the Son we are referring to the
-eternal generation of the Son. If love is taken essentially, it indicates the
-divine will; if it is taken notionally, it indicates the Holy Spirit. Now it was
-by nature that the Father gave radiance to the Son, not by his will, because
-the Father begot the Son by nature. And so he also did not give to the Son
-because he brought forth the Holy Spirit.<a href="#_ftn34" name="_ftnref34"

-Before, our Lord had included the faithful in his petition when he said, "I do
-not pray for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through
-their word" (17:20). He also excluded the world and unbelievers when he said,
-"I am praying for them; I am not praying for the world" (17:9). Now he gives
-the reason for this: first, he mentions the failure of the world; secondly, the
-progress of the disciples (v 25).
-
-<p>2264 Note that when he prayed for their sanctification he
-called the Father <b>holy Father </b>(v 11). But now, calling for retribution,
-he refers to the Father as <b>righteous Father. </b>This eliminates the old
-error which said that there was a just God, the God of the Old Testament, and
-another God who was good, the God of the New Testament.
-
-<p>The failure of the world concerned
-its knowledge of God. He says, <b>the world, </b>not as reconciled, but damned,
-<b>has not known you: </b>"The world was made through him, yet the world knew
-him not" (1:10).
-
-<p>2265 But this seems to conflict with Romans (1:19) "For what
-can be known about God is plain to them. Ever since the creation of the world
-his invisible nature, namely, his eternal power and deity, has been clearly
-perceived in the things that have been made." We should say to this that
-knowledge is of two kinds: one is speculative, and the other affective. Through
-neither of these ways did the world know God completely. Although some Gentiles
-knew God as having some of those attributes which are knowable by reason, they
-did not know God as the Father of an only begotten and consubstantial Son &#8209;
-and our Lord is talking about knowledge of these things.
-
-<p>Again, if they did have some
-speculative knowledge of God, this was mixed with many errors: some denied his
-providence over all things; others said he was the soul of the world; still
-others worshipped other gods along with him. For this reason they are said not
-to know God. Composite things can be known in part, and unknown in part, while
-simple things are unknown if they are not known in their entirety. Thus, even
-though some erred only slightly in their knowledge of God, they are said to be
-entirely ignorant of him. Consequently, since these people did not know the
-special excellence of God, they are said not to know him: "For although they
-knew God they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became
-futile in their thinking and their senseless minds were darkened" (Rom 1:21);
-"Nor did they recognize the craftsman while paying heed to his works" (Wis
-13:1).
-
-<p>Furthermore, the world did not know
-God by an affective knowledge, because it did not love him, "like heathen who
-do not know God" (1 Thess 4:5). So he says, <b>the world has not known you, </b>that
-is, without error, and as a Father, through love.<a href="#_ftn35"
-name="_ftnref35">[35]</a>
-
-<p>2266 Then the progress of the disciples is mentioned (v
-25b). First, their progress in knowledge; secondly, the fruit of this knowledge
-(v 26). As regards the disciples' progress in knowledge he does three things:
-first, he gives the root and fountain of this knowledge of God; secondly, the
-rivulets and streams that flow from it; thirdly, we see their origin in the
-root or fountain.
-
-<p>2267 The root and fountain of our knowledge of God is the
-Word of God, that is, Christ: "The fountain of wisdom is the word of God" [Sir
-1:5]. Human wisdom consists in knowing God. But this knowledge flows to us from
-the Word, because to the extent that we share in the Word of God, to that
-extent do we know God. Thus he says, <b>the world has not known you </b>in this
-way, <b>but I</b>, the fountain of wisdom, your Word, <b>have known you, </b>eternally
-and fully: "If I said, I do not know him, I should be a liar like you" (8:55).

+and fully: "If I said, I do not know him, I should be a liar like
+you" (8:55).</p>
 <p>2268 From this knowledge of the Word, which is the root and
-fountain, flows, like rivulets and streams, all the knowledge of the faithful.
-Accordingly he says, <b>and these know that </b>[<i>quia</i>, meaning "that,"
-or "because"] <b>you have sent me</b>. Augustine understands the word as
-meaning "because," and it then indicates the reason for their knowledge.<a
-href="#_ftn36" name="_ftnref36">[36]</a>
-The meaning is then: <b>I have known you, </b>by nature, <b>and these know </b>you
-by grace. Why? <b>Because you have sent me, </b>so that they may know you: "For
-this was I born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to
-the truth" (18:37); "I have manifested your name" (17:6).
-
-<p>If we understand the word as
-meaning "that," it then refers to what is known. The meaning is: <b>and these
-know. </b>What do they know? <b>That you have sent me, </b>because he who sees
-the Son also sees the Father (14:9).
-
-<p>2269 They did not know this by themselves; they learned it
-from me because "No one knows the Father except the Son and any one to whom the
-Son chooses to reveal him" (Mt 11:27). So he says, <b>I made known to them your
-name, and I will make it known. </b>He is indicating the two types of knowledge
-which the faithful have through him. First, there is the knowledge of his
-teaching, and he refers to this by saying, <b>I made known to them your name, </b>teaching
-them by my external words: "No one has ever seen God; the only Son, who is in
-the bosom of the Father, he has made him known" (1:18); "It was declared at
-first by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard him" (Heb 2:3).
-
-<p>The other knowledge is from within,
-through the Holy Spirit. Referring to this he says, <b>and I will make it known
-</b>by giving them the Holy Spirit: "When the Spirit of truth comes, he will
-teach you all truth" [16:13].
-
-<p>Or, alternatively, <b>I made known
-to them your name </b>by the knowledge of faith, "for now we see in a mirror
-dimly," <b>and I will make it known </b>through the vision of glory in their
-homeland, where they will see "face to face" (1 Cor 13:12).
-
-<p>2270 The fruit of this knowledge is <b>that the love with
-which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them. </b>This can be
-explained in two ways. The first and better way is that since the Father loves
-the Son, as is shown by the glory he gave him, consequently, he loves all those
-in whom the Son is present &#8209; and the Son is in them insofar as they have
-knowledge of the truth. So the meaning is this: I will make your name known to
-them; and by the fact that they know you, I, your Word, will be in them; and by
-the fact that I am in them, <b>the love with which you love me may be in them, </b>that
-is, will be given to them, and you will love them as you have loved me.
-
-<p>Here is the other explanation: <b>that
-the love with which you have loved me may be in them, </b>that is, as you have
-loved me, so they, by sharing in the Holy Spirit, may love. And by that fact I
-will be in them as God in a temple, and they in me, as members of the head: "He
-who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him" (1 Jn 4:16).
