17:10a–b
All I have is Yours, and all You have is Mine: These clauses continue to speak about Jesus’ disciples. This sentence shows the unity of Father and Son: what belongs to one, belongs to the other. See 16:15a and the notes there. For example:
All I have is yours, and all you have is mine (Good News Translation)
-or-
All those people who belong to me, belong to you, and all who belong to you belong to me. (TH)
All: This pronoun here refers to all the disciples there with Jesus. In 17:6–19 Jesus prayed about his disciples there with him.
Yours: The word Yours means “belonging to you,” meaning here “belonging to God the Father.”
Mine: The word Mine means “belonging to me,” meaning here “belonging to Jesus.”
17:10c
and in them I have been glorified: This clause indicates that the disciples had shown or revealed his greatness and glory. And the verb tense indicates that they continued to glorify Christ. See Key Biblical Terms Glory, Glorious, Glorify, C.3. The verb have been glorified is passive. There are at least two ways to translate it:

I have been given glory by the people you have given me. (God’s Word)
-or-
and my glory is shown through them (Good News Translation)
-or-
and through them is my glory revealed (Revised English Bible)
• Using an active verb. For example:
and they will bring glory to me (Contemporary English Version)
-or-
And glory has come to me through them. (New International Version)
-or-
and my disciples showed how wonderful I am
