I and my Father are one.I and the Father are one — Not by consent of will only, but by unity of power, and consequently of nature.Are — This word confutes Sabellius, proving the plurality of persons: one - This word confutes Arius, proving the unity of nature in God.

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - John 10:36

Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?Say ye of him whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world — This sanctification (whereby he is essentially the Holy One of God) is mentioned as prior to his mission, and together with it implies, Christ was God in the highest sense, infinitely superior to that wherein those judges were so called. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - John 10:24

24. Make us to doubt A very peculiar expression in the Greek: How long dost thou take [or bear away] our soul? It is as if they would say, just as our soul is ready to surrender to you, you utter some doctrine which veers it away. If thou be the Christ The Messiah. Tell us plainly Do not ascend into thy lofty expatiations about Father, and Son, and laying down life, but avow thyself Messiah, and exert thy wonderful powers in delivering us from the Romans. read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - John 10:25

25. Told you… believed not Jesus replies only to give them no hope. The works which raised their hopes of his power to be a successful hero-Messiah, ought to warn them that his word was true. Bear witness of me Prove that I am the true Christ, though not the Messiah of your fancy. read more
