After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed.
The farewell discourse complete, Jesus lifted his eyes and prayed. The disciples heard every word. This prayer—the longest recorded prayer of Jesus—reveals his deepest concerns on his final night.
Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.
The hour. Throughout John's Gospel, Jesus had said his hour had not yet come. Now it had arrived. Glory through suffering. The cross as throne.
