The Pulpit Commentary - John 10:29
The Father's perfect protection. This verse explains, sustains, and completes the previous one. The previous verse indicates the double duty of the shepherd. He has to feed the flock, and he has to protect it. Jesus has to give eternal life, and secure it when given. But inevitably the thought arises in one's mind that oftentimes the shepherd is slain and the sheep are scattered. This was to be illustrated to a certain extent very soon after Jesus had spoken. It was not that the sheep were... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 10:30
Then follows the sublime minor premise of the syllogism, I and the Father (we) are one . As Augustine and Bengel have said, the first clause is incompatible with Sabelliauism, and the second clause with Arianism. The Lord is conscious of his own Personality as distinct from that of the Father, and yet he asserts a fundamental unity. But what kind of unity is it? Is it a unity of wish, emotion, sentiment, only? On the contrary, it is a oneness of redemptive power. The Divine activity of the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 10:29
Which gave them me - See John 6:37.Is greater - Is more powerful.Than all - Than all others - men, angels, devils. The word includes everything - everything that could attempt to pluck them away from God; in other words, it means that God is supreme. It implies, further, that God will keep them, and will so control all other beings and things that they shall be safe.None is able - None has power to do it. In these two verses we are taught the following important truths:1.That Christians are... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 10:30
I and my Father are one - The word translated “one” is not in the masculine, but in the neuter gender. It expresses union, but not the precise nature of the union. It may express any union, and the particular kind intended is to be inferred from the connection. In the previous verse he had said that he and his Father were united in the same object that is, in redeeming and preserving his people. It was this that gave occasion for this remark. Many interpreters have understood this as referring... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 10:27-31
John 10:27-31. My sheep hear my voice, &c. Our Lord still alludes to the discourse he had had before this festival. As if he had said, My sheep are those who, 1st, Hear my voice by faith; 2d, Are known (that is, approved) by me as loving me; and, 3d, Follow me, keep my commandments, with a believing, loving heart. And to those who, 1st, Truly believe, (observe three promises annexed to three conditions,) I give eternal life. He does not say, I will give, but I give. For he... 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

one. Greek hen. Neut., one in essence, not one person which would be heir, masculine. This is the climax of His claim to oneness with the Father in verses: John 10:18 , John 10:25 , John 10:28 , John 18:29 . Compare also John 10:38 ; John 14:11 .Revelation 22:3 . read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 10:29
My Father who hath given them to me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. I and the Father are one.Here is the reasoning that underlies the promise of John 10:28 that the sheep of Christ shall have eternal life. There is no way to understand Jesus' words here except as an affirmation of his supernatural nature, claiming equality with God himself, or, as the Pharisees expressed it in John 10:33, making himself God! As Robertson said:This crisp... read more
