This chapter forms one long prayer.

|
|
#### Special concepts in this chapter ####
|
|
|
|
##### Glory #####
|
|
|
|
Scripture often speaks of God's glory as a great, brilliant light. When people see this light, they are afraid. In this chapter Jesus asks God to show his followers his true glory ([John 17:1](./01.md)).
|
|
|
|
##### Jesus is eternal #####
|
|
|
|
Jesus existed before God created the world ([John 17:5(](./03.md)). John wrote about this in [John 1:1](../01/01.md).

|
#### Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter ####
|
|
|
|
##### Prayer #####
|
|
|
|
Jesus is God's one and only Son ([John 3:16](../03/16.md)), so he could pray differently from the way other people pray. He used many words that sounded like commands. Your translation should make Jesus sound like a son speaking with love and respect to his father and telling him what the father needs to do so that the father will be happy.
