Jesus' High Priestly Prayer

Jesus prays for himself, his disciples, and all future believers in one of the most intimate moments in Scripture.

Passion WeekNew Testament

What Happened

Looking toward heaven, Jesus prays that God would glorify him so he can glorify the Father. He prays for his disciples' protection and unity, then extends his prayer to everyone who will ever believe through their message. It's a window into Jesus' deepest desires — that his people would be one, just as he and the Father are one.
