I have manifested your name unto the men that you gave me out of the world: yours they were, and you gave them to me; and they have kept your word.
All Commentaries on John 17:6 Go To John 17
John Chrysostom
AD 407

That He was the Son of the Father, Christ had already manifested to them by words and deeds.
And whence have they learned? From My words, wherein I taught them that I came forth from You. For this was what He has been laboring to show throughout the whole of the Gospel: For I have given unto them the words which you gave me, and they have received them.
