John 17

John 17:2
even as You gave Him authority over all flesh, that to all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life.
My first read-through of this, I got a little cross-eyed.  Jesus is talking about You and Him as if they are separate from Himself.  But isn't Jesus the one who gives eternal life?

Reading this, that seems to be wrong.  Since the You is obviously God the Father, and Jesus is the one speaking, I have to assume that Him is the Holy Spirit.  Does this mean that it is actually the Spirit, when He indwells us, that is giving eternal life?
