John Gill
As thou hast sent me into the world,.... Which does not suppose inequality of nature, nor change of place, nor any force upon him, nor disrespect unto him, or a state of separation from his Father; but that he was before he was sent; that he was a person, a divine distinct person from his Father; and designs the manifestation of him in human nature; and shows, that as Mediator, he had a divine...
Matthew Henry
This chapter is a prayer, it is the Lord's prayer, the Lord Christ's prayer. There was one Lord's prayer which he taught us to pray, and did not pray himself, for he needed not to pray for the forgiveness of sin; but this was properly and peculiarly his, and suited him only as a Mediator, and is a sample of his intercession, and yet is of use to us both for instruction and encouragement in...
Charles H. Spurgeon
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. Christ was the great Missionary, the Messiah, the Sent One; we are the minor missionaries, Sent out into the world to accomplish the Father’s will and purpose.

Charles H. Spurgeon
As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. Christ was the sent One, and every Christian is also sent. All believers should be missionaries, sent forth upon a mission to bless the sons of men.
Charles H. Spurgeon
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. Neither pray I for these alone, “For these who are already converted, I pray also for those who are not yet called by grace.”
Charles H. Spurgeon
As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. They are sent ones, even as Christ was the Sent One. As he is the Christ, they are Christians, anointed with the same anointing as he himself is, and they should endeavor to be in all respects missionaries to the world, even as Christ was God’s great Missionary to the lost.
Charles H. Spurgeon
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.

Sanctify myself — consecrate myself — set myself apart — for their salvation that they also might be sanctified,...

You are sent into this world to do...

Charles H. Spurgeon
As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
