this is life eternal, that they should know thee the only true God" The Farewell Prayer consists of the following five petitions: 17:1–5: Petition for glorification based on the completion of his work 17:6–10: Petitions for his disciples 17:11–19: Petition for the preservation and sanctification of "his own" in the world 17:20–23: Petition for unity of "his own" 17:24–26: Petition for the union of "his own" with himself The last two petitions are for unity, as characterized by: "I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one." – John 17:22 "I made known unto them thy name, and will make it known; that the love with which thou loves me may be in them, and I in them." – John 17:26 with the final petition being for the eternal unity of Jesus with his followers. The references to "thy name" in John 17:6 and John 17:26 emphasize the importance of the name of God in Christianity, which in Christian teachings (e.g. by Cyril of Alexandria) has been seen as a representation of the entire system of "divine truth" revealed to the faithful "that believe on his name" as in John 1:12. Historicity The Jesus Seminar has argued that verses John 14:30–31 represent a conclusion, and that the next three chapters have been inserted into the text later. This argument considers the farewell discourse not to be authentic, and postulates that it was constructed after the death of Jesus. Similarly, Stephen Harris has questioned the authenticity of the discourse because it appears only in the Gospel of John, and not in the Synoptic gospels. However, scholars such as Herman Ridderbos see John 14:30–31 as a "provisional ending" just to that part of the discourse and not an ending to the entire discourse. Fernando Segovia has argued that the discourse originally consisted of just chapter 14, and the other chapters were added later, but Gary M. Burge opposes that argument given the overall theological and literary unity of the work and that the discourse has much in common with the gospel as a whole, e.g. the themes of Jesus' death and resurrection and his care for his own. In 2004, Scott Kellum published a detailed analysis of the literary unity of the entire farewell discourse and stated that it shows that it was written by a single author, and that its structure
