Giovanni 17:10

10 E tutte le cose mie sono tue, e le cose tue sono mie; ed io sono in essi glorificato.

Giovanni 17:10 Meaning and Commentary

John 17:10

And all mine are thine, and thine are mine
Christ is speaking not of things but of persons; otherwise all the perfections of his nature as God, and all the works he did, and doctrines he taught as man, were of his Father; as all the perfections of his Father, his nature, his names, his works, his worship, were his; the same that belongs to the one belongs to the other: but persons are here meant, and these the elect of God, particularly the apostles, who were his and his Father's; belonged to them both by election, covenant transactions, redemption, and efficacious grace in conversion; which mutual interest arises from an union in nature, an agreement in covenant, and a conjunction in operation:

and I am glorified in them:
or by them, they ascribing all divine perfections, works and worship to him; attributing the whole of their salvation to him, and giving him all the glory of it; believing in him; walking worthy of him, in their lives and conversations; suffering patiently and cheerfully for his sake; and abiding by his Gospel and ordinances; and he will be glorified by them, and in them hereafter, and that to all eternity.

Giovanni 17:10 In-Context

8 Perciocchè io ho date loro le parole che tu mi hai date, ed essi le hanno ricevute, ed hanno veramente conosciuto che io son proceduto da te, ed hanno creduto che tu mi hai mandato.
9 Io prego per loro; io non prego per lo mondo, ma per coloro che tu mi hai dati, perciocchè sono tuoi.
10 E tutte le cose mie sono tue, e le cose tue sono mie; ed io sono in essi glorificato.
11 Ed io non sono più nel mondo, ma costoro son nel mondo, ed io vo a te. Padre santo, conservali nel tuo nome, essi che tu mi hai dati, acciocchè sieno una stessa cosa come noi.
12 Quand’io era con loro nel mondo, io li conservava nel nome tuo; io ho guardati coloro che tu mi hai dati, e niun di loro è perito, se non il figliuol della perdizione, acciocchè la scrittura fosse adempiuta.
