John 17:16-19

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

John 17:16-19. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes, I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

Sanctify myself - consecrate myself - set myself apart - for their salvation that they also might be sanctified, consecrated, set apart through the truth. Now comes a third part of the prayer, in which he pleads for the whole church - for that part of it at that time not saved - for the unborn ones - for us.
