Part 4: Farewell prayer John 17:1–26 is generally known as the Farewell Prayer or the High Priestly Prayer , given that it is an intercession for the coming Church. It is by far the longest prayer of Jesus in any of the gospels. A key theme of the prayer is the glorification of the Father.
The text of the blessing is found in Numbers 6:23–27.

In Hebrew it is called the “Birkat Kohanim.” In English, it is known as the “ Priestly Blessing ” or the “ Aaronic Benediction .” One of the things that makes this prayer so beautiful is that it comes directly from the Bible . It is found in Numbers 6:24-26: “’ADONAI bless you and keep you!
Prayers of Jesus ” Father forgive them; for they know not what they do” (Luke 23:34) “My God , My God , why hast thou forsaken me?” (Matt 27:46, Mark 15:34) ” Father , into thy hands I commit my spirit” (Luke 23:46)
