This priestly prayer, as it is called, was prayed by Jesus just before He entered Gethsemane and Golgotha. This portion of the Gospel is somewhat like a flight-recorder on an airplane. In the event that something should happen to a plane, the flight recorder would record the information, the inner workings, needed to determine what caused the plane to go down. Likewise, by this prayer, we can see into the inner workings of Jesus mind just before He is crucified.
