17. A fit prayer for all Christians.
      the God of our Lord Jesus--appropriate title here; as in Eph 1:20-22 he treats of God's raising Jesus to be Head over all things to the Church. Jesus Himself called the Father "My God" (Mt 27:46).
      the Father of glory--(Compare Ac 7:2). The Father of that infinite glory which shines in the face of Christ, who is "the glory" (the true Shekinah); through whom also "the glory of the inheritance" (Eph 1:18) shall be ours (Joh 17:24; 2Co 3:7-4:6).
      the spirit of wisdom--whose attribute is infinite wisdom and who works wisdom in believers (Isa 11:2).
      and revelation--whose function it is to reveal to believers spiritual mysteries (Joh 16:14, 15; 1Co 2:10).
      in the knowledge--rather, as Greek (see on 1Co 13:12), "in the full knowledge of Him," namely, God.
