1 *MP: The work that Messiah does will glorify God. (Is 49:3) † MP: God’s desire is fulfilled in Messiah being a sin offering. This end goal is God’s purpose. In context, God pleasure is linked to a sin offering being provided. An atonement, a redemption, and a covering for sin was accomplished through that offering for all people who are associated (see Is 53:5-6, 53:11) bringing God pleasure. Being associated with the sin offering is seen in (Lev 4:4, 4:15, 4:24, 4:29, 4:33). (Is 53:10) Yeshua [Salvation] said these things, and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, “ Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may also glorify you; 2 even as you gave him authority over all flesh, he will give eternal life to all whom you have given him. 3 ‡MP: Trusting in Yahweh God also means to trust in his Servant Messiah. (Is 50:10) This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Yeshua Messiah [Salvation Anointed one]. 4 §MP: Messiah will ask God for His inheritance, the nations of the world. (Ps 2:8) * MP: Messiah is God’s servant. (Zech 3:8) I glorified you on the earth. I have accomplished the work which you have given me to do. 5 †MP: This prophecy is debated between Jewish and Christian interpretations.
Jewish: Wisdom in Proverbs refers to Torah itself, and therefore God’s Wisdom revealed in Torah was before the creation in (Gen 1:1).
Christian: Messiah is from everlasting, for he is the incarnate wisdom of God. Therefore wisdom in Proverbs refers to Messiah.
Proposed: The two perspectives can be reconciled if Messiah is not wisdom itself, rather the fullness of the wisdom expressed in the Living Torah ·Teachings·. (Prov 8:22-23) (see also 1 Cor 1:24; Col 1:15-17) ‡ MP: Messiah is from everlasting just as Yahweh God is eternal. (Is 48:16) Now, Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed. 6 I revealed your name to the people whom you have given me out of the world. They were yours, and you have given them to me. They have kept your word. 7 Now they have known that all things whatever you have given me are from you, 8 for the words which you have given me I have given to them, and they received them, and knew for sure that I came from you, and they have believed that you sent me. 9 I pray for them. I don’t pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours. 10 All things that are mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them. 11 I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·, keep them through your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are. 12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name. Those whom you have given me I have kept. None of them is lost, except the son of destruction, § Paraphrase Quoted from Ps 69:25, 109:8 with Acts 1:16-20 that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I come to you, and I say these things in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves. 14 I have given them your word. The world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 15 I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world even as I am not of the world. 17 *MP: “By his stripes we are healed / made whole.” Messiah’s atonement brings wholeness and healing to those in association with him. (This healing could be physical, spiritual or both.) (Is 53:5) Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world. 19 For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth. 20 Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one; even as you, Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me. 22 The glory which you have given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, even as we are one; 23 I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that you sent me, and have agapao ·totally devoted love· for them, even as you have agapao ·totally devoted love· for me. 24 Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, † MP: See (MP in John 17:5 paired with Prov 8:22-23) that they may see my glory, which you have given me, for you have agapao ·totally devoted love· for me from before the foundation of the world. 25 Righteous Abba Father, the world has not known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me. 26 I made known to them your name, and will make it known; that the agape ·unconditional love· with which you have agapao ·totally devoted love· to me may be in them, and I in them.”
