Commentary on John 10:25

Theological / Devotional

I told you. If Jesus had given a straight Yes answer to the question, the Jews would have misunderstood Him, for He was not the messiah of Jewish expectations (see on Luke 4:19). He could not have said No without, in a sense at least, denying His divine mission. As far as the record goes He had never publicly laid claim to that title (cf. John 4:26). However, He had repeatedly affirmed His kinship with His Father so as to leave no doubt in the mind of the honest seeker as to His identity (see chs. 5:17-47; 7:14-44; 8:12-59).

Works that I do. See on ch. 5:36.
