Theophylact of Ohrid — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on John 17:24-26

Orthodox 1107
Theophylact of Ohrid · c. 1055–1107
“After then that He had prayed for believers, and promised them so many good things, another prayer follows worthy of His mercy and benignity: O righteous Father, the world hath not known Thee; as if to say, I would wish that all men obtained these good things, which I have asked for the believing. But inasmuch as they have not known Thee, they shall not obtain the glory and crown.”
