John 17:25

Verse 25

The world hath not known thee - Has not acknowledged me. See on Joh 1:11, Joh 1:12 (note).

And these have known - Here our Lord, returning to the disciples, speaks: 1st. Of their having received him as the Messiah; 2dly. Of his making the Father known unto them; 3dly. Of his purpose to continue to influence them by the Spirit of truth, that they might be perfectly united to God, by an indwelling Savior for ever.
