In this section, Jesus is with His closest disciples, and He is preparing them for His departure. He tells them His time is coming. Mary anointed Jesus feet for burial. Jesus entered Jerusalem on a colt. Many people do not believe in Jesus, but some do, but they are afraid. Jesus washed the disciples' feet, including Judas. Peter is told he will deny Jesus. Jesus commanded them they were to love one another. Jesus told them not to be troubled, but believe in God and in Jesus. He also encouraged them that when He was gone, the Holy Spirit will come. Jesus warned them that the world will hate them and that difficulties will come, but the Holy Spirit will guide them. Jesus is going home and preparing a place for us. Chapter 17 ends this section with Jesus' prayer where He prays for His disciples, and then for those who will believe due to their words. He wants the Father's love that is in Him, to be in us too!
