In anticipation of the crucifixion and ascension into heaven, Jesus prays in front of His disciples that God would glorify Him in order that He might glorify the Father. To have eternal life is to know the Father and the Son. Jesus prays that they may be kept safe in the world and may be one, as perfectly united as the Father and the Son. He mentions Judas, the one who was lost that the Scripture might be fulfilled. The net result of the prayer for protection is that no disciple may lose their salvation.
