Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on John 17:9-14.


John 17:12

_ _ I kept — guarded.

_ _ them in thy name — acting as Thy Representative on earth.

_ _ none of them is lost, but the son of perdition — It is not implied here that the son of perdition was one of those whom the Father had given to the Son, but rather the contrary (John 13:18) [Webster and Wilkinson]. It is just as in Luke 4:26, Luke 4:27, where we are not to suppose that the woman of Sarepta (in Sidon) was one of the widows of Israel, nor Naaman the Syrian one of the lepers in Israel, though the language — the same as here — might seem to express it.

_ _ son of perdition — doomed to it (2 Thessalonians 2:3; Mark 14:21).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on John 17:11-16.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

John 17:12

Those whom thou hast given me I have guarded, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition — So one even of them whom God had given him is lost. So far was even that decree from being unchangeable! That the Scripture might be fulfilled — That is, whereby the Scripture was fulfilled. The son of perdition signifies one that deservedly perishes; as a son of death, 2 Samuel 12:5; children of hell, Matthew 23:15, and children of wrath, Ephesians 2:3, signify persons justly obnoxious to death, hell, wrath. Psalms 109:8.
