John 17:10 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

In the Greek the adjectives are of the neuter gender, so as the sense is not, All my friends, or all my disciples, are thine also; but, All my things are thine, and all thy things are mine; which is no more than he hath before often said. Christ and his Father have all things common, neither of them have any thing that is not the other s: they are one, and they agree in one; they have the same essence, the same will, the same attributes, the same friends. And I am (saith our Saviour) glorified, or made glorious, in them, by their owning, receiving, and embracing me, and accepting me as their Saviour. So as this verse containeth two arguments more, enforcing his petition on the behalf of his elect:

1. His Father's propriety in them, as well as his.

2. Their love to him, and the glory which redounded to him from their faith and holiness.

John 17:10

10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
