This is referred to as Jesus' High Priestly Prayer. Jesus played and continues to play many roles for the church. In His role as High Priest He ministers to us directly and goes before the Father for us in prayer. In John 17 Jesus prays for the protection of His followers and for their unity. I imagine He continues to pray in this same manner before the Father even now.

This prayer in John is truly the "Lords Prayer". The prayer in Matthew 6:9-13 & Luke 11:2-4 was merely a pattern for prayer.

And then 17:20-26 is the Lord's prayer for all believers, and this prayer includes believers in this present day. Take the time to read this prayer very carefully as there is much to learn from it.
