The Pulpit Commentary - John 10:34

The justification of Jesus which follows is often supposed to be a retraction of the claim—a repudiation of the inference which the Jews drew from the words recorded in John 10:30 . On the contrary, our Lord took up one illustration from among many in Holy Scripture, that the union between man and God lay at the heart of their ( νόμος ) Law. True, he quoted from Psalms 82:6 with reference to the high official title given by the Holy Spirit to the false and tyrannical judges of the old... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 10:35

If he (the Holy Spirit, or the Holy Lawgiver, the subject is left indefinite) called them gods ( elohim ), to whom the Word of God came —the personal "Word" need not be excluded here; the "Word of God" was the Divine agency by which prophets spoke and psalmists sang— and the Scripture ( γραφή is singular, and has reference, not to all the γραφαί , but to this one word) cannot he broken ; loosed, destroyed. A fine testimony to the confidence which our Lord exercised in the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 10:36

If it be so, Say ye of him whom the Father sanctified (or, consecrated ), and sent into the world . The order of these words requires us to conceive of this consecration as occurring previously to the incarnation of the eternal Son. Before his birth into the world he entered into relations with the Father to undertake a work of indescribable importance. He was destined, or designated, or appointed, and then sent to do this sublime deed of redemption. Unlike those to whom the eternal... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 10:34-38

Jesus answered them - The answer of Jesus consists of two parts. The first John 10:34-36 shows that they ought not to object to his use of the word God, even if he were no more than a man. The second John 10:37-38 repeats substantially what he had before said, left the same impression, and in proof of it he appealed to his works.John 10:34In your law - Psalms 82:6. The word “law” here, is used to include the Old Testament.I said - The Psalmist said, or God said by the Psalmist.Ye are gods -... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 10:32-36

John 10:32-36. Jesus answered, Many good works have I showed you from my Father That is, in confirmation of my mission from my Father I have wrought many miracles, all of a beneficent kind, and most becoming the perfections of my Father, who sent me. I have fed the hungry, I have healed the lame, I have cured the sick, I have given sight to the blind, I have cast out devils, and I have raised the dead: for which of all these are you going to stone me? The Jews answered, For a good work... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 10:22-42

94. At the Feast of Dedication (John 10:22-42)The Feast of Dedication commemorated the rededication of the temple in 165 BC after the defeat of Antiochus Epiphanes (see ‘The New Testament World’). It was held about two months after the Feast of Tabernacles (cf. John 7:2) and was the Jews’ only winter festival (cf. John 10:22).Many Jews felt it was time Jesus made a clear public statement that he was the Messiah. Jesus replied that his works were a clear enough statement, but most of the Jews... read more
