What does the Bible say about who Christ prays for?

Answered in 2 sources

Christ prays specifically for believers and those who will believe through the Gospel.

According to John 17:20, Christ prays not only for His immediate disciples but also for those who will believe in Him through their word. This indicates that Christ's intercessory prayer encompasses all the elect, those whom the Father has given to Him for salvation. He intercedes on behalf of His sheep—believers who hear His voice and follow Him—as well as those who have yet to come to faith but are ultimately called by God. This shows the assurance of salvation for the elect, highlighting the significance of Christ’s role as our High Priest.
