Bible Commentary

John 10:29

Jesus grounds the flock's security in the Father's supremacy and gift; an ancient textual variant affects the wording of what or who is 'greater than all.'

Memory phrase: the Father's hand

Talk about it: What does Jesus say about his Father and the sheep?

Prayer: Father, thank you for your strong care.
