John 17 - Trials Testings & Discernment B

John arranges several events that appear unrelated until one understands that background context of testing. This matrix links together these supposedly separate events into a coherent whole as Christ redefines His ministry from the "Kingdom" to the "New Covenant" based on His Paschal Lamb sacrifice on the stauros. In fact, this context runs throughout the Scriptures from man and woman to us today.
