SEV Biblia, Chapter 17:25
Padre justo, el mundo no te ha conocido, mas yo te he conocido; y stos han conocido que t me enviaste;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 17:25
Verse 25. The world hath not known thee] Has not acknowledged me. See on chap. i. 11, 12. And these have known] Here our Lord, returning to the disciples, speaks: 1st. Of their having received him as the Messiah; 2dly. Of his making the Father known unto them; 3dly. Of his purpose to continue to influence them by the Spirit of truth, that they might be perfectly united to God, by an indwelling saviour for ever.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 25. O righteous Father , etc.] God is righteous in all the divine persons: the Father is righteous, the Son is righteous, and the Holy Spirit is righteous: he is so in his nature; righteousness is a perfection of it; he is so in all his purposes and promises; in all his ways and works of providence and grace; in predestination, redemption, justification, pardon of sin, and eternal glory. Christ makes use of this epithet, as containing a reason why he might justly expect that all his petitions and claims, on behalf of himself and people, would be regarded: the world hath not known thee ; the unbelieving Jews, and idolatrous Gentiles, wicked men, one or another, know not God: as not the Father, so neither the Son, nor Spirit; though deity may be known by them, or that there is a God, yet they know not God in Christ, nor as the Father of Christ, or as their Father in him, nor what it is to have communion with him; nor do they know any of the things of God in a spiritual way; which shows the darkness and blindness of men by nature, the necessity of a divine illumination, and the miserable state of men without one: but I have known thee ; his nature, perfections and glory, his secret thoughts, purposes and designs, his covenant, promises and blessings, his love, grace and good will to his people, his whole mind and will; as he needs must, since he was one with him, and lay in his bosom; and these have known that thou hast sent me ; meaning his disciples and apostles, whom he distinguishes from the world; these knew the Father that sent him, and that he was sent by the Father; they knew the love of the Father in sending of him, the manner in which he was sent, and the end, mans redemption, for which he was sent; and acknowledged all this, and which laid them under an obligation to trust in him, love him, and magnify his grace; and is used by Christ as an argument with the Father to be concerned for them.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 24-26 - Christ, as one with the Father, claimed on behalf of all that had bee given to him, and should in due time believe on him, that they shoul be brought to heaven; and that there the whole company of the redeeme might behold his glory as their beloved Friend and Brother, and therei find happiness. He had declared and would further declare the name of character of God, by his doctrine and his Spirit, that, being one with him, the love of the Father to him might abide with them also. Thus being joined to Him by one Spirit, they might be filled with all the fulness of God, and enjoy a blessedness of which we can form no righ idea in our present state __________________________________________________________________
