35 The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands.
35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
35 The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand.
35 The Father loves the Son extravagantly. He turned everything over to him so he could give it away - a lavish distribution of gifts.
35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand.
35 The Father loves his Son and has put everything into his hands.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on John 3:35
Commentary on John 3:22-36
(Read John 3:22-36)
John was fully satisfied with the place and work assigned him; but Jesus came on a more important work. He also knew that Jesus would increase in honour and influence, for of his government and peace there would be no end, while he himself would be less followed. John knew that Jesus came from heaven as the Son of God, while he was a sinful, mortal man, who could only speak about the more plain subjects of religion. The words of Jesus were the words of God; he had the Spirit, not by measure, as the prophets, but in all fulness. Everlasting life could only be had by faith in Him, and might be thus obtained; whereas all those, who believe not in the Son of God, cannot partake of salvation, but the wrath of God for ever rests upon them.
