John Gill
And I have declared unto them thy name,.... Himself, his nature, his perfections, especially of grace and mercy, his mind and will, his Gospel; [See comments on John 17:6]. A very fit person Christ was to make this declaration, since he was with him from all eternity, and was in his bosom; the Father did all in him, and his name is in him; and he is the faithful witness; nor is anything of God to...
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
And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it I read it to you as it stands. Our good translators were always afraid of using a word too often, for fear of falling into tautology; so for what they considered the beauty of the language they used the word “declared instead of I made known”; but why should they have done so? Who were they that they should have wanted to improve on...

O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them. Here the doctrine becomes a matter of experience. May we never rest till we get the full experience of it, that the very love which God gives to...
Charles H. Spurgeon
I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovest me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father, the world hath not known...

And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them. How rich is this language! How musical!

And I in them. Sacred, mystical union! May our souls enjoy it day by day. This exposition consisted of readings from Psalms 32; John 17.
Charles H. Spurgeon
And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: As long as the Christ lived, he showed forth his Father’s glory, and so should we. If we have declared it, we should say, “And will declare it.” “That the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.” Thus the glorious union stands. May we always rejoice in it. Joh_17:26. That the love wherewith thou hast loved me...

And will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them. This prayer is for you, and for me, as much as for the twelve apostles. May the Lord fulfill it in all of us as well as in them, for his dear name’s sake! Amen.
