John 17:9. “I pray for them…” The previous verses were an introduction. Here we have an intercession. He ---- came for us; lived for us; died for us; rose for us; ascended for us; entered heaven for us; presents His blood for us; prepares a place for us; claims mansions for us; had the scriptures written for us; sent the Holy Spirit for us; will come again for us.
“I pray not for the world.” The unbelieving world that hates God, is condemned.
