The answer to your question can be found in the scripture you site at John 17:11+15 where Jesus asks his father "Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one...."
Reading the rest of that scripture tells us why: "...I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.... "(John 17:11-19NIV)
Jesus asks his father to keep his followers, and all those who would one day listen to them, safe, united and strong (John 17:20-23) because life would be very difficult for Christians after Jesus died, and he knew that. Acts 20:29-30 tells us: " I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them."(NIV) "Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat'(Luke 22:31NIV )(Matthew 7:15)(2 Thessalonians 2:3)(2 Peter 2:1)
Yes, since Jesus Christ is Himself God, He frequently did. Also, on the mount of transfiguration God spoke, as well as at Jesus' Baptism, effectively telling the disciples to listen to Jesus, His beloved Son. This lines up with what Jesus Himself taught in a number of places, that not only was He bringing a message 'from' God but that His message was the very words of God Himself.
Jesus urged people to follow Him, his teachings, and the issues as He heard them from the Father. Jesus never asked people to worship Him. Still, as they come to understand who He really is; they do worship Him as the Son of the living God (God the Son), for there are three persons in one God; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. When people did worship Him, He never told them to stop as the angels always did, since it was appropriate for people to worship Him.
Two disciples next to Jesus could refer to Peter and John, who were often mentioned as being close to Jesus during his ministry. Another pair often mentioned together are James and John, known as the "sons of thunder."
Jesus needed a patient because the disciples would try to do things to themselves to prove they were holier then thou and Jesus would have to put them in there place. Sometimes we need to ask Jesus for patients because we want to do some experiments to heal people and we want things to happen right then and there. Also people would try to rush Jesus because they wanted there family member to be healed. So that is why Jesus needs patients.
Yes. Jesus did say He was the messiah. But He didn't usually get to that point directly. More often He would agree as such when someone else asked Him. Or, He would ask His disciples, "who do you think I am?" Here are two scripture references where Jesus says He is the Messiah: Matt 16:11-12 Mark 14:61-62 Cheers!
The disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to pray.

Remember me.
Jesus instructed his disciples to pray by giving them the Lord's Prayer, also known as the Our Father. This prayer teaches believers to address God as their Father, ask for His will to be done, seek forgiveness, and request daily needs.
The disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to pray by saying, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples."
Only Catholic Christians pray to saints. Protestants Christians do not. We [Protestants] believe they were disciples/apostles of Jesus, but we don't ask the them to pray for us.
If you are Christian, ask them if God always answers your prayers. Why did Jesus die on the cross for us. Because Jesus is God, ask them why you can only get to heaven through Jesus. Isn't Jesus God? But the bible says that you have to get to heaven through Jesus, not God.
yes both are the devil has demons god has archangels and angels dont worry god is good he will protect you he loves you ask him to come into your heart and you will be saved God lives with His son Jesus who died for you ask Jesus to come into your heart and you will go to heaven if you dont you will go to hell not to scare you.
If you ask a Christian, they will say the Bible was written by many people over the years, including Moses, David, and Jesus' disciples, and that through them God communicated His word.
Jesus was asked if He was the Christ the Son of God by the High Priest at His trial. Jesus answered in the affirmative, adding that He would be seen coming in the clouds of Heaven. When John the Baptist sent his disciples to ask if Jesus was the Promised One, He referred to the prophecies from Isaiah and the miracles they had seen as demonstration of who He was.
God loves all people equally.But only the people who ask jesus in to their hearts and ask god to forgive them get to go to heaven and be with jesus.
