Who is Jesus praying to in John 17;1-6?

Jehovah God his Father ..For mor information JW.ORG

His heavenly Father in heaven. Psalm 83:18

Why would Jesus pray to anyone other than God? His own heavenly Father.

Jesus was praying to his Heavenly Father Jehovah God.  He offers the most beautiful prayer that any human will ever be privileged to read. John 17:1-26  We are in a position to look back and ask, “Has God answered Jesus’ prayer?” We should also examine ourselves and ask, “Am I acting in harmony with it?”  

 Jesus talks late into the night, imparting to his disciples precious knowledge from God. Then he raises his eyes to heaven and prays: “Father, the hour has come; glorify your son, that your son may glorify you, according as you have given him authority over all flesh, that, as regards the whole number whom you have given him, he may give them everlasting life. . . . I have glorified you on the earth, having finished the work you have given me to do. So now you, Father, glorify me alongside yourself with the glory that I had alongside you before the world was.” John 17:1-5.

 Notice Jesus’ priorities in the introduction to his prayer. His main concern is the glorification of his heavenly Father, and this harmonizes with the first request in Jesus’ model prayer: “Father, let your name be sanctified.” Luke 11:2 Jesus’ next concern is for the needs of his disciples, that “he may give them everlasting life.” After that, Jesus makes a personal request, saying: “Father, glorify me alongside yourself with the glory that I had alongside you before the world was.” Jehovah rewards his faithful Son with even more than he asks by giving Jesus “a name more excellent than” that of all the angels.​—Heb. 1:4.

King James Bible 1885

John Chapter 17

1. These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:

2. As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

3. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

4. I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

5. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

6. I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.

7. Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.

Notice Jesus’ priorities in the introduction to his prayer. His main concern is the glorification of his heavenly Father, and this harmonizes with the first request in Jesus’ model prayer: “Father, let your name be sanctified.” Luke 11:2 

Jesus talks late into the night, imparting to his disciples precious knowledge from God. Then he raises his eyes to heaven and prays: "Father, the hour has come; glorify your son, that your son may glorify you"

Just as he frequently did during his ministry, Jesus prayed to God the Father.  No mystery that they wanted to be connected with each other.

Jesus is praying to his heavenly father whom he specifically states to be "the only true God."

What I want to understand is why Touch My Anointed says that there is not three persons in One God. Yall do know that Jesus Christ Himself does not know when He is coming back to gather up His chosen elect? Therefore there are three persons of God in the bible. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

So do yall believe that Jesus does not know when He is coming back to gather up His chosen elect from the earth?

And do yall believe that only His Father knows when He is coming back to gather up His chosen elect from the earth?
