Commentaries

Matthew Henry's Commentary

10:22-30 All who have any thing to say to Christ, may find him in the temple. Christ would make us to believe; we make ourselves doubt. The Jews understood his meaning, but could not form his words into a full charge against him. He described the gracious disposition and happy state of his sheep; they heard and believed his word, followed him as his faithful disciples, and none of them should perish; for the Son and the Father were one. Thus he was able to defend his sheep against all their enemies, which proves that he claimed Divine power and perfection equally with the Father.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown

28. I give unto them eternal life—not "will give them"; for it is a present gift. (See on [1822]Joh 3:36; [1823]Joh 5:24). It is a very grand utterance, couched in the language of majestic authority.
