John 10:31

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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 10:31

The Jews took up stones again to stone him.Some "moderns," so-called, have alleged from this verse that the author of John was a stranger to the laws and customs of Judaea before 70 A.D. But as Richardson said, " Acts 7:58f records a case of mob stoning such as is said to have been impossible."[27]Again ... indicates that the Jews had repeatedly sought an opportunity to stone Jesus (John 8:49; 11:8); and Hendriksen concluded from this that the Jews carried stones.[28] According to the law,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 10:31-33

John 10:31-33. Then the Jews took up stones— As a full proof in what sense our Lord's hearers understood him, we find that they took up stones, and were going to kill him, in obedience, as they supposed, to the law, Lev 24:14 which ordered the blasphemer to be stoned. Our Lord remonstrates against this violent proceeding in terms the most striking and pathetic. "In confirmation of my mission from my Father, I have worked many miracles, all of a beneficent kind, and most becoming the perfection... read more

H. Jesus’ third visit to Jerusalem 7:10-10:42This section of the text describes Jesus’ teaching in Jerusalem during the feast of Tabernacles and the feast of Dedication. John evidently included it in His narrative because it contains important revelations of Jesus’ identity and explains the mounting opposition to Jesus that culminated in His crucifixion. read more

8. The confrontation at the feast of Dedication 10:22-42The present section of the fourth Gospel is strongly Christological and focuses on Jesus’ identity. In this subdivision of the text Jesus presented Himself as the Messiah (John 10:22-30) and as the Son of God (John 10:31-39). This resulted in the climax of hostility against Him."It becomes clear that people must either recognize that Jesus stands in such a relation to the Father as no one else ever did, or else reject him entirely." [Note:... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 10:31-33

Clearly the Jews understood Jesus to be claiming more than simple agreement with God in thought and purpose but equality with the Father as deity. They prepared to stone Him for blasphemy. This is the first explicit charge of blasphemy (though cf. John 8:59). They believed Jesus was blaspheming because He was claiming to be God (cf. John 5:18; John 8:59; Mark 14:61-64). Before they could act Jesus asked them for which of His many noble, beautiful works (Gr. erga kala) they were stoning Him.... read more
