John 10:28

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - John 10:1-42

Division of Opinion Joh 10:19 The last thing we should have expected about the sayings of Christ is division of opinion. Having proceeded forth and come from God, one would suppose that every word he spoke would be instantly recognised as divine, and accepted as wise and beneficent. This was not the case. Whenever Jesus Christ addressed men he provoked inquiry, controversy, sometimes direct and bitter hostility; his ministers do not accomplish this miracle at least, not intentionally. What do... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - John 10:27-30

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: (28) And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. (29) My Father which gave them me, is greater than all: and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. (30) I and my Father are one. In addition to what hath been offered in the former part of this chapter, on the subject of Christ and his Church, as a shepherd and his sheep; I would only beg the Reader to... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - John 10:28

They shall not perish for ever: and no man shall snatch them out of my hand. He speaks of his elect, of those whom he called by a special Providence and mercy, whom he blessed with more than ordinary graces, and with the gift of final perseverance to the end in his grace. (Witham) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - John 10:22-30

22-30 All who have any thing to say to Christ, may find him in the temple. Christ would make us to believe; we make ourselves doubt. The Jews understood his meaning, but could not form his words into a full charge against him. He described the gracious disposition and happy state of his sheep; they heard and believed his word, followed him as his faithful disciples, and none of them should perish; for the Son and the Father were one. Thus he was able to defend his sheep against all their... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - John 10:1-99

John 10 THERE IS NO real break where this chapter commences in our Bibles. The Lord’s answer which commenced in the last verse of the ninth chapter, continues to the end of verse Joh_10:5 of this chapter. He propounded to them the parable of the Shepherd and the fold, and it illustrated the point, inasmuch as there were not only “the sheep” but also “His own sheep.” These last knew the Shepherd’s voice and so recognized Him. The man of the previous chapter was one of “His own sheep.” The... read more

And Jesus walked in the Temple in Solomon's Porch. v. 24. Then came the Jews round about Him, and said unto Him, How long dost Thou make us to doubt? If Thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. v. 25.

IVHow Christ Putteth Thomas’ Unbelief To Shame, And Changeth The Doubting Disciple Into The Most Joyful ConfessorJohn 10:24-29(John 20:24-31, is the pericope for St. Thomas’ Day).24But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. 25The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see [I see, ἴδω] in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print25 of the nails, and thrust [put] my hand... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - John 10:19-30

Our Assurance of Safe-Keeping John 10:19-30 Our Lord did not shrink from the avowal of His divine origin and glory, when there was need or when they were challenged. See John 4:26 ; Matthew 26:64 . For the most part, however, He wished men to exercise their own faculties of discernment and to accept Him, not because He told them what He was, but because they were inwardly convinced. In John 10:27 we have three characteristics of His sheep-to hear, to be recognized by Him, and to follow; and... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - John 10:1-42

Continuing, He gave a more detailed picture of that coming order. There was to be a fold, with a door. There was to be a flock, with a shepherd. Entrance to the fold would be by the door. The flock would know and follow the shepherd. Here John declared, "They understood not what things they were that He spake unto them"; and that "therefore" of Jesus shows that what followed in His teaching resulted from their failure to understand. This fuller statement centers on two principal claims of our... read more
