17:7
Now: The Greek text emphasizes this word, which here refers to the time. It implies something like “at last” or “finally.”
they know that everything You have given Me comes from You: These clauses indicate that the disciples had realized that what Jesus taught was actually God’s message to them. (See verse 8.) And the verb tense indicates that they continued to know this. The Greek text emphasizes the phrase from You. Here are other ways to translate these clauses:
they know that everything I have is a gift from you (New Living Translation (2004))
-or-
they understand that all I ⌊taught⌋ them really came from you (sing.)
-or-
they have come-to-know that you (sing.) are the source of all I have done and said (Kankanaey Back Translation)
