Answered in 4 sources

Jesus intercedes for all future believers, showing His role as a mediator in the High Priestly Prayer.

In John 17:20-21, Jesus explicitly states that He is praying not just for His immediate disciples, but for all who will believe in Him through their word. This reflects the depth of His intercession and His love for future believers throughout all ages. This High Priestly Prayer underscores Jesus' role as the eternal mediator between God and man, as He goes before the Father to represent all those ordained to eternal life. His prayer emphasizes the unity He desires among believers as a powerful witness to the world.
