How do we know that Jesus prayed for believers?

Answered in 1 source

In John 17:20, Jesus explicitly states that He prays for those who will believe through the words of His disciples.

Jesus' prayer in John 17 is significant as it illustrates His role as the High Priest who intercedes for His people. In verse 20, He states, 'Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word.' This indicates that His prayer includes all future believers, affirming that His intercession is particular and not universal. This underscores that God's love and plans are directed specifically toward those whom He has chosen.
