What does the Bible say about Jesus praying for His people?

In John 17, we find the High Priestly Prayer of Jesus, where He intercedes for His followers. He expresses His heartfelt concern for their unity and their need for protection in an evil world. Jesus acknowledges that while He is no longer in the world, His followers are, and He prays for the Father to keep them through His own name, emphasizing the strength of God’s keeping power. The words 'that they may be one as we are' showcase the deep desire for unity among believers, reflecting the intimate relationship between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
