Discovery BoxJohn 17:6 
Context17:6 “I have revealed 1 your name to the men 2 you gave me out of the world. They belonged to you, 3 and you gave them to me, and they have obeyed 4 your word.
John 17:26
Context17:26 I made known your name to them, and I will continue to make it known, 5 so that the love you have loved me with may be in them, and I may be in them.”
1 tn Or “made known,” “disclosed.”
2 tn Here “men” is retained as a translation for ἀνθρώποις (anqrwpoi") rather than the more generic “people” because in context it specifically refers to the eleven men Jesus had chosen as apostles (Judas had already departed, John 13:30). If one understands the referent here to be the broader group of Jesus’ followers that included both men and women, a translation like “to the people” should be used here instead.
3 tn Grk “Yours they were.”
4 tn Or “have kept.”
5 tn The translation “will continue to make it known” is proposed by R. E. Brown (John [AB], 2:773).
