John 10:35 ESV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - John 10:22-38

We have here another rencounter between Christ and the Jews in the temple, in which it is hard to say which is more strange, the gracious words that came out of his mouth or the spiteful ones that came out of theirs. I. We have here the time when this conference was: It was at the feast of dedication, and it was winter, a feast that was annually observed by consent, in remembrance of the dedication of a new altar and the purging of the temple, by Judas Maccabaeus, after the temple had been... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - John 10:31-39

10:31-39 The Jews again lifted up stones to stone him. Jesus said to them: "I have showed you many lovely deeds, which came from my Father. For which of these deeds are you trying to stone me?" The Jews answered him: "It is not for any lovely deed that we propose to stone you; it is for insulting God, and because you, being a man, make yourself God." "Does it not stand written in your law," Jesus answered them, "'I said you are gods'? If he called those to whom the word came gods--and the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 10:35

If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came ,.... The Syriac version reads, "because the word of God came to them"; either the divine "Logos", the essential word, the Son of God, who appeared to Moses, and made him a God to Pharaoh, and who appointed rulers and magistrates among the Jews; and who is the King of kings, and Lord of lords, from whom all receive their power and dominion: this sense is favoured by the Ethiopic version, which renders it, "if he called them gods to whom... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 10:35

Unto whom the word of God came - Bishop Pearce thinks that "the word λογος , here, is put for λογος κρισεως , the word or matter of judgment, as in 2 Chronicles 19:6 , where Jehoshaphat, setting up judges in the land of Judah, says: Take heed what ye do: judge not for men, but for the Lord, who is with you in judgment - λογοι της κρισεως , in the words or matters of judgment, - Sept., which is nearly according to the Hebrew to משפט בדבר bedebar mishpat , in the word or matter of... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 10:35

Verse 35 35.To whom the word of God was addressed. For Christ means that they were authorized by an undoubted command of God. Hence we infer that empires did not spring up at random, nor by the mistakes of men, but that they were appointed by the will of God, because he wishes that political order should exist among men, and that we should be governed by usages and laws. For this reason Paul says, that all who resist the power are rebels against God, because there is no power but what is... 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

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
