JOHN 17:26 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
I made your name known to them, and I will make it known, so that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I myself may be in them — The name-revelation that began the prayer (17:6) reaches completion in this final declaration, with the promise of ongoing revelation ("I will make it known") through the Spirit. The ultimate purpose transcends information: that believers experience God's love poured into them with the intensity of the Father's love for the Son. Indwelling love becomes the prayer's culminating vision—the Trinity's intimacy extended to believers.
