[[John-17]] Prev: [[Prophecies in John-16]] | Next: [[Prophecies in John-18]] --- ### None of them is lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: Jesus identifies Judas Iscariot as the 'son of destruction' whose betrayal and subsequent loss fulfills specific Old Testament scriptures. *Historical context*: Theized by theologians as the fulfillment of [[Ps-41#v9|Psalm 41:9]] ('Even my close friend, whom I trusted... has lifted up his heel against me') and [[Ps-109#v8|Psalm 109:8]]. [[Acts-01#v16|Acts 1:16]]–20 later confirms that Peter and the early church viewed Judas's actions and fate as a direct fulfillment of these Davidic prophecies. *Related to*: [[Ps-41#v9|Psalm 41:9]] and [[Ps-109#v8|Psalm 109:8]] ### Not for these only do I pray, but for those also who will believe in me through their word, *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: Jesus predicts that a vast number of future believers, beyond his immediate disciples, will come to faith through the testimony and message of the apostles. *Historical context*: This prophecy is historically realized through the global spread of Christianity. Starting from a small group in Jerusalem, the message of the apostles (the 'word') led to the establishment of the Church throughout the Roman Empire and eventually across every continent, with billions of adherents over two millennia. *Related to*: ### I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to you. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: Jesus foretells his imminent departure from the physical world and his return to the presence of God the Father. *Historical context*: This prediction was fulfilled by the Ascension of Jesus, as recorded in [[Acts-01#v9|Acts 1:9]]–11, where he was taken up into heaven in the sight of his disciples forty days after his resurrection. *Related to*: ### Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may also glorify you; *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: Jesus predicts that the specific 'hour' or time for his glorification has arrived, referring to his upcoming crucifixion, resurrection, and exaltation. *Historical context*: Historians and theologians point to the events of the Passion (the trials, crucifixion, and resurrection) occurring immediately after this prayer as the fulfillment. The 'glorification' is viewed as the paradoxical revelation of divine love and power through the cross and the subsequent resurrection. *Related to*: --- #ai_prophecy
