10:22 The similarity of this saying to the language and theology in John has led many scholars to reject its authenticity. But the saying has been shown to have an early Palestinian origin, and the conclusion that it goes back to Jesus seems assured, especially since everyone agrees that Jesus referred to God as his Father (2:49; Mt 10:33; 11:27; 18:10). Thus we have confirmation here of the basic historicity of John’s picture of Jesus, someone who understood himself as uniquely related to God and as exclusively mediating a relationship with God.
