The New King James Version divides this chapter into three sections: John 17:1–5: Jesus Prays for Himself; John 17:6–19: Jesus Prays for His Disciples; John 17:20–26: Jesus Prays for All Believers. [4] The book containing this chapter is anonymous, but early Christian tradition uniformly affirmed that John composed this Gospel. [5]
"Gergeza" was preferred over "Geraza" or "Gadara" (Commentary on John VI.40 (24) – see Matthew 8:28). Some common alterations include the deletion, rearrangement, repetition, or replacement of one or more words when the copyist's eye returns to a similar word in the wrong location of the original text.
Even the King James Version had doubts about this verse, as it provided (in the original 1611 edition and still in many high-quality editions) a sidenote that said, "This 36th verse is wanting in most of the Greek copies." This verse is missing from Tyndale's version (1534) and the Geneva Bible (1557).
The references to "thy name" in John 17:6 and John 17:26 emphasize the importance of the name of God in Christianity, which in Christian teachings (e.g. by Cyril of Alexandria) has been seen as a representation of the entire system of "divine truth" revealed to the faithful "that believe on his name" as in John 1:12. [20] [21]
Methodist founder John Wesley summarised the opening verses of John 1 as follows: John 1:1–2 describes the state of things before the creation; John 1:3 describes the state of things in the creation; John 1:4 describes the state of things in the time of man's innocence; John 1:5 describes the state of things in the time of man's corruption.

Scofield Reference Bible, page 1115. This page includes Scofield's note on John 1:17. The Scofield Bible had several innovative features. Most important, it printed what amounted to a commentary on the biblical text alongside the Bible instead of in a separate volume, the first to do so in English since the Geneva Bible (1560). [2]
The Bible is not always what it seems to those who read it in the great prose of the English version or indeed, in any of the conventional versions. What it is may be partly suggested by a new rendering, such as the following pages present, that is, a fresh translation [1] of the original, not a revision of any English version."
The King James Version (KJV), or Authorized Version is an English translation of the Holy Bible, commissioned for the Church of England at the behest of James I of England. First published in 1611, it has had a profound impact not only on most English translations that have followed it, but also on English literature as a whole.
