- Jesus prays that believers share the same mutual indwelling and glory that exists between the Father and the Son.
- John Piper ties verses 20–23 to a threefold pattern: inness, shared glory, and divine love extended to the church.

- Piper links John 1:14 to say we now experience God's glory in the reigning grace and truth, with full revelation awaiting eternity.
