2.  How did Jesus render glory to God while he was on earth? (4) (Heb 5:8; Ro 5:8) How would God glorify Jesus? What does it mean to know God and to know Jesus whom he sent? 

3.  Read verse 6-8. How did Jesus reveal God to his disciples? What can we learn here about the importance of Bible study? Read verses 9-16. What were his prayer topics for his disciples? How had Jesus protected them?
