John 10:28

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - John 10:28

A CLUSTER OF GRAPES‘I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My Hand.’ John 10:28 Here we have an illustration of the vast privileges which the Lord Jesus Christ bestows on true Christians. He uses words about them of singular richness and strength. ‘I know them. I give unto them eternal life. They shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand.’ This sentence is like the cluster of grapes which came from Eshcol.... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 10:26-28

“But you do not believe because you are not of my sheep. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them and they follow me. And I give to them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will be able to snatch them from my hand.” Jesus then makes clear the position. What they needed to do was to forget their preconceptions and acknowledge Him as He was, and fall into line with His words. But He brings out that this they would not do because they were not of His sheep. They would not follow... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - John 10:22-42

John 10:22-Luke : . The Feast of the Dedication.— Mg., “ At that time” suggests a closer connexion with what precedes than the old reading “ And.” But in any case the notes of time are not precise. The Feast of the Dedication (p. 104) was instituted to commemorate the restoration (p. 607) of the Temple services in 165 by the Maccabees after its desecration for three years by Antiochus Epiphanes ( 1Ma_4:36-59 , 2Ma_10:1-8 , Josephus, Ant. XII. vii. 7). It lasted for eight days from December... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 10:28

I do give them, and I will give them, eternal life; as soon as they shall come to hear, and believe my voice, and to follow me, they shall have a sure right and title to it; and when my Father by his providence shall remove them out of the world, and in the great day, they shall be taken up into the actual possession of it. For they shall never perish, but though they may fall, they shall rise again by repentance. They are in my hand, and my hand shall preserve them, none shall ever pluck them... read more

EXPLANATORY AND CRITICAL NOTESJohn 10:22-38. Our Lord’s utterances at the feast of dedication on His oneness with the Father, etc.—This feast (τὰ ἐγκαίνια—the Encænia) was post-exilic in its origin. It commemorated the re-dedication of the temple and the renewing of the altar by Judas Maccabæus after their profanation by Antiochus Epiphanes. It was also called τὰ φῶτα, “Lights,” from a later custom of illuminating the city and temple (vide Jos., Ant.; Smith, Dictionary of the Bible, etc.). It... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - John 10:1-42

Chapter 10So chapter 10, it would seem to be as just a continuation of this whole movement here of the blind man receiving his sight, being put out by the organized religious system, being taken in by Jesus Christ. And so Jesus said,Verily, verily I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber ( John 10:1 ).Now later on He said, "I am the door." If a man tries to come by any other system, by any other way,... read more
