30 I and the Father are one." 31 Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him,
30 I and the Father are one." 31 The Jews picked up stones again to stone him.
30 I and the Father are one heart and mind." 31 Again the Jews picked up rocks to throw at him.
30 I and My Father are one." 31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him.
30 The Father and I are one." 31 Once again the people picked up stones to kill him.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on John 10:30-31
Commentary on John 10:22-30
(Read John 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.
Commentary on John 10:31-38
(Read John 10:31-38)
Christ's works of power and mercy proclaim him to be over all, God blessed for evermore, that all may know and believe He is in the Father, and the Father in Him. Whom the Father sends, he sanctifies. The holy God will reward, and therefore will employ, none but such as he makes holy. The Father was in the Son, so that by Divine power he wrought his miracles; the Son was so in the Father, that he knew the whole of His mind. This we cannot by searching find out to perfection, but we may know and believe these declarations of Christ.
