John 17:4-5

17:4 I glorified you on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. 17:5 And now, Father, glorify me at your side with the glory I had with you before the world was created.

Philippians 2:9-11

2:9 As a result God exalted him

and gave him the name

that is above every name,

every knee will bow

– in heaven and on earth and under the earth –

2:11 and every tongue confess

that Jesus Christ is Lord

tn Grk “shouted out and said.”

sn The one who sent me refers to God.

tn Grk “Then when.”

tn Grk “he”; the referent (Judas) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

tn Or “by finishing” or “by accomplishing.” Jesus now states that he has glorified the Father on earth by finishing (τελειώσας [teleiwsas] is best understood as an adverbial participle of means) the work which the Father had given him to do.

tn Grk “the work that you gave to me so that I may do it.”

tn Or “in your presence”; Grk “with yourself.” The use of παρά (para) twice in this verse looks back to the assertion in John 1:1 that the Word (the Λόγος [Logos], who became Jesus of Nazareth in 1:14) was with God (πρὸς τὸν θεόν, pro" ton qeon). Whatever else may be said, the statement in 17:5 strongly asserts the preexistence of Jesus Christ.

tn Grk “before the world was.” The word “created” is not in the Greek text but is implied.
