John 17:1

     1-3. These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes—"John very seldom depicts the gestures or looks of our Lord, as here. But this was an occasion of which the impression was indelible, and the upward look could not be passed over" [ALFORD].

      Father, the hour is come—(See on Joh 13:31, 32).

      glorify thy Son—Put honor upon Thy Son, by countenancing, sustaining, and carrying Him through that "hour."
