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.
The prayer commonly referred to as "the high priestly prayer" (John 17) was prayed after the Lord Jesus had left the upper room with his eleven disciples (John 13:41) and before He crossed over the ravine of the Kidron on His way to the Garden of Gethsemene (John 18:1). In fact, the intercession of the Great High Priest is continuing even now in heaven itself in the presence of God the Father (Romans 8:34; Hebrews 9:24).
Jesus prays for Himself, His disciples, and for those who believe in Him.
Heavenly Father, we pray for unity among churches, that we may come together in spirit and purpose to spread Your love and grace. Help us set aside our differences and focus on our common goal of serving and glorifying You. May we work together in harmony and cooperation, showing the world the true meaning of Christ's love. Amen.
No, they were all there in the garden except Judas who came later with Jesus' captors. Jesus asked Peter James and John to go with him a little way off to pray. (Matthew 26.37) However, Matthew 17:1+2 mentions that only Peter, James and John were with Jesus for the transfiguration.
Yes, Jesus did proclaim oneness with God in the Gospel of John when he stated "I and the Father are one" (John 10:30). This statement reflects the concept of the Trinity in Christian theology, where Jesus is believed to be one with God the Father and the Holy Spirit.
Psalm 119? Nope. John 17. Jesus' prayer is the longest prayer in the Bible. Check out: http://thelongestlistofthelongeststuffatthelongestdomainnameatlonglast.com
I believe the longest prayer in the Bible is the one Jesus prayed in John 17.
No not always , when he taught the lords prayer the disciples were there. Jesus' prayer in John 17 (the entire chapter) was also a "public" prayer spoken in the presence of His disciples.
Jesus' prayer can be read in the Gospel of John, chapter 17. Most confuse the 'Lord's Prayer' found here with what is properly called the 'model' prayer found in Matthew 5 given by Jesus as a way for us to pray to our 'Father.'
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. Here in John 17:1-5 the Lord prays for Himself. 17:6-18 is the Lord's prayer for His disciples. 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.
In the four Gospels, prayer is mentioned in various contexts. In Matthew, Jesus teaches about prayer in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 6:5-15) and emphasizes the Lord's Prayer as a model. Luke frequently highlights Jesus’ practice of prayer, such as before significant events (Luke 6:12, 9:18) and in the Garden of Gethsemane (Luke 22:41-44). John also refers to prayer in Jesus' Farewell Prayer (John 17), illustrating its importance in His relationship with the Father.

Holy fatherAnswer:The first four words tell you."These words spake Jesus..." (John 17:1).Jesus is "praying to His Father" in this chapter. He:"...lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said, FATHER..." (same verse).John's 17th chapter is the REAL Lord's prayer.
The 'Model Pray' found in Matthew 6 is commonly referred to as the Lord's Prayer in error. The true prayer of Jesus or the Lord's Prayer is found in John 17. This was shortly before His suffering and death in April 31 AD.

There is no record of Jesus's prayer of thanks over the bread and wine at the last supper. Only it is written: Jesus took bread, and blessed it, (Matthew 26.26) However after this last supper, Jesus prayed a long prayer to his Father which is recorded in John 17.
Jesus declares in His prayer to His Father: "...Thy Word is TRUTH." (John 17:17) Truth means: Factual. All of the Bible is "factual."
