What does the Bible say about Jesus praying for his followers?

Answered in 2 sources

Jesus specifically prayed for his disciples and all future believers in John 17, highlighting His desire for them to be with Him in glory.

In John 17:24, Jesus expresses His longing for those given to Him by the Father to be with Him where He is, ultimately to behold His glory. This is significant because it shows Jesus' active role as our intercessor, praying for His people, that they may experience the fullness of His presence and glory in eternity. The prayer illustrates the intimate bond He shares with His followers, as they are drawn to Him by the grace of God, being a gift from the Father.
