John 10:36

Say ye -Ye" with great emphasis, -Do ye, in opposition to the Scripture, say?"

of him, whom the Father hath sanctified Omit -hath;" both verbs are aorists. This also is emphatic, in opposition to -them unto whom the word of God came." Men on whom God's word has conferred a fragment of delegated authority may be called -gods" (Elohim) without scruple; He, Whom the Father Himself sanctified and sent, may not be called Son of God (no article before -Son") without blasphemy! By -sanctified" is meant something analogous to the consecration of Jeremiah before his birth for the work of a Prophet. (Jeremiah 1:5). When the Son was sent into the world He was consecrated for the work of the Messiah, and endowed with the fulness of grace and truth (see on John 1:14), the fulness of power (John 3:35), the fulness of life (John 5:26). In virtue of this Divine sanctification He becomes -the Holy One of God" (John 6:69; Luke 4:34). See on John 17:17; John 17:19, the only other passages in S. John's writings where the word occurs.
