John 10:29

27 ^aMy sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.

29 ^aMy Father, ^bwho has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.

30 ^aI and My Father are one.”

Renewed Efforts to Stone Jesus

31 Then ^athe Jews took up stones again to stone Him.

32 Jesus answered them, “Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?”

33 The Jews answered Him, saying, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for ^ablasphemy, and because You, being a Man, ^bmake Yourself God.”

34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ^a‘I said, “You are gods” ’?

35 If He called them gods, ^ato whom the word of God came (and the Scripture ^bcannot be broken),

John 10:29

My Father, which gave them me—(See on John 6:37-39).

is greater than all—with whom no adverse power can contend. It is a general expression of an admitted truth, and what follows shows for what purpose it was uttered, "and none is able to pluck them out of My Father's hand." The impossibility of true believers being lost, in the midst of all the temptations which they may encounter, does not consist in their fidelity and decision, but is founded upon the power of God. Here the doctrine of predestination is presented in its sublime and sacred aspect; there is a predestination of the holy, which is taught from one end of the Scriptures to the other; not, indeed, of such a nature that an "irresistible grace" compels the opposing will of man (of course not), but so that that will of man which receives and loves the commands of God is produced only by God's grace (OLSHAUSEN—a testimony all the more valuable, being given in spite of Lutheran prejudice).

My sheep hear my voice, etc.—(See on John 10:8).
