2. Doxology Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.— Amen.

3. John 17 The Great High Priestly Prayer of our Lord!

4. John 17:6-19 John 17:12c: Jesus Lost Not One!

5. “And not one of them perished” “KAI OUDEIS EX AUTON APOLETO.”

6. OUDEIS, “not one”, groups the eleven into one group; those who were believers.

7. “Perished” – APOLLUMI: Aor., Middle, Ind., 3 rd P., S. “Be destroyed, lost, perish, ruined, die, pass away.”

8. Causative Middle Voice - the subject has something done to himself and emphasizes the volitional responsibility of believing in Christ which results in “not being lost.”

9. It emphasizes the non- meritorious act of faith which results in salvation, in contrast to the lack of faith that Judas Iscariot possessed.

10. “But the son of perdition” “EI ME HO HUIOS TES APOLEIAS.”

11. Mat 11:27, “All things have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.”

12. John 6:46-47, “Not that anyone has seen the Father, except the One who is from God; He has seen the Father. 47 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life.”

13. 1 John 5:5, “Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?”

14. 1 John 2:22, “Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.”

15. EI ME is a conditional clause of the volitional responsibility of Judas Iscariot, just as the 11 had above, to believe in Jesus Christ or not.

16. EI ME is a conditional clause of the volitional responsibility of Judas Iscariot, just as the 11 had above, to believe in Jesus Christ or not. Judas chose not to believe in Jesus as the Messiah.

17. “Except the son of destruction” EI ME HO HUIOS TES APOLEIAS.

18. This is a familiar title for Judas and also the Antichrist. 2 Thes 2:3, “Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy, (APOSTASIA – exit resurrection), comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction.”

19. Mark 14:21, “For the Son of Man is to go just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”

20. It is a title used for only two people in history, and it is a title for someone who is personally possessed by Satan, John 13:27.

21. Two different people have this title: one just before the Church Age begins and one at its end, after the Church has been raptured.

22. The language does not imply that Judas was a helpless victim who was destined to the Lake of Fire against his will.

23. It implies that, having made his decision, he had passed the point of no return; (just as those who receive the mark of the beast in the Tribulation will have no, Rev 14:9-11 cf. 20:4).

24. Some believe this is “proof” that a believer can lose his salvation, but a careful reading of the verse proves just the opposite!

25. “None of them is lost but the son of destruction”, shows Judas was never a part of the believing group.

26. In vs. 11 Jesus plainly stated that He kept all whom the Father gave Him; since Judas was lost, he could not have been among those who were given to the Son.

27. Those who teach Judas “lost his salvation” make the same mistake Peter made in John 6:66-71, in thinking that Judas had salvation, when he did not!

28. The 11’s faith came by hearing the Word, Rom 10:17. Judas, however, was a pretender and ultimately would betray Christ.
