John Calvin 1540 · Public Domain 10. And all things that are mine are thine.…
10. And all things that are mine are thine. The object of the former clause is to show that the Father will assuredly listen to him. “I do not,” says he, “plead with thee for any but those whom thou acknowledgest to be thine, for I have nothing separated from thee, and therefore I shall not meet with a refusal.” In the second clause, and thine are mine, he shows that he has good reason for caring about the elect; for they are his in consequence of their being his Father’s. All these things are spoken for the confirmation of our faith. We must not seek salvation anywhere else than in Christ. But we shall not be satisfied with having Christ, if we do not know that we possess God in him. We must therefore believe that there is such a unity between the Father and the Son as makes it impossible that they shall have anything separate from each other.
And I am glorified in them. This is connected with the second clause of the verse, and thine are mine; for it follows that it is reasonable that he, for his part, should promote their salvation; and this is a most excellent testimony for confirming our faith, that Christ never will cease to care for our salvation, since he is glorified in us.

10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
Ver. 10. And I am glorified in them] It will be a singular prop to our prayers, if we so carry ourselves, that Christ in his daily intercession may give this testimony of us to the Father. He undertakes for us, as it were, and gives his word, that we, being mindful of our reconciliation by him, shall shun sin by his grace, and not provoke him as before. This should cause us to live so as Christ may have credit by us, and we may have courage to come to God by Christ.

In the Greek the adjectives are of the neuter gender, so as the sense is not, All my friends, or all my disciples, are thine also; but, All my things are thine, and all thy things are mine; which is no more than he hath before often said. Christ and his Father have all things common, neither of them have any thing that is not the other’s: they are one, and they agree in one; they have the same essence, the same will, the same attributes, the same friends.
And I am (saith our Saviour) glorified, or made glorious, in them, by their owning, receiving, and embracing me, and accepting me as their Saviour. So as this verse containeth two arguments more, enforcing his petition on the behalf of his elect:

Thence learn, that the Father and the Son have a like share and property in all believers.
2. The words in the original, being of the neuter gender, signify, all thy things are mine, and all my things are thine.
Christ and his Father are one, and they agree in one; they have the same essence and nature, the same attributes and will; Christ hath all things that the Father hath, willeth all things that the Father willeth, and doeth all things that the Father doeth; he is therefore really and essentially God. It followeth, And I am glorified in them: that is, I am made glorious by their owning and receiving me, by their believing in me, and accepting of me for their Lord and Saviour.
Thence note, that the Lord Jesus Christ is eminently glorified in and by all those that believe in him, and belong unto him.

John Gill 1763 · Public Domain And all mine are thine, and thine are mine,....…
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.

All things that are mine are thine, and that are thine are mine - These are very high and strong expressions, too grand for any mere creature to use; as implying that all things whatsoever, inclusive of the Divine nature, perfections, and operations, are the common property of the Father and the Son. And this is the original ground of that peculiar property, which both the Father and the Son have in the persons who were given to Christ as Mediator; according to what is said in the close of the verse, of his being glorified by them; namely, believing in him, and so acknowledging his glory.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers 1878 · Public Domain (10) And all mine are thine, and thine are…
(10) And all mine are thine, and thine are mine.—Better, And all My things are Thine, and Thy things are Mine. The Authorised version leaves the impression that the pronouns are masculine, and that persons are exclusively meant; whereas the words are all-inclusive, and assert absolute community in all things between the Father and the Son.
And I am glorified in them.—The division of verses is unfortunate, as the last words of this verse are closely connected with the last words of Joh_17:9, and the general assertion which intervenes is a parenthesis. The thought is, “For they are Thine (and all My things are Thine, and Thy things are Mine), and I am glorified in them.” The fact that Christ is glorified in them forms, then, a second reason for His special prayer for them. The tense is perfect. Its accomplishment is already in part realised (Joh_17:6-8; comp. Joh_15:8), and is more fully to be realised in that future of the Spirit’s work which all through this chapter is regarded as present. (Comp. Note on Joh_16:14.)

The Pulpit Commentary 1880 · Public Domain And all things that are mine are thine; whether…
And all things that are mine are thine; whether they be these souls, or these powers that I wield, or these words that I utter, or these works that I do, all are thine. This statement is in perfect harmony with all his teaching, and is not incompatible with the reverential sentiment that any servant of God might utter; but he adds words to show that the union between him and the Father is much closer than this, and quite unique. And thine are mine. Luther observed, "No creature could say this." Perhaps he went too far, because we are taught to believe that all things are ours," etc., and the panta covers much. (see 1Co_3:21) In the full confidence of filial relation we can believe it true that the heavenly Father says to every one of his veritable children, All that I have is thine." Here the words must not be drawn out of their connection; it is human souls who are of God, and are therefore Christ"s. The dogmatic lesson is that every one who has heard and learned of the Father does come to him. Such an assurance gives a sublime hope to the world, and I (have been and) am glorified in them. Once more the Divine Savior rejoices in the victory he has won in securing the faith of the disciples. How much he loved and trusted them!

I. AS THE PURCHASE OF HIS BLOOD. As the fruit of His soul-travail they indicate the success of His redeeming work.
II. AS THE TROPHIES OF HIS POWER. Having been rescued from the thraldom of sin and brought into His kingdom, they attest the all-conquering might of His love.
III. AS THE CREATIONS OF HIS GRACE. Being renewed in the spirit of their minds and recreated after His image, they reveal in their moral likeness to Him the beauty of holiness that is in Him.
IV. AS THE SUBJECTS OF HIS EMPIRE. In their willing subjection to His throne they proclaim the gentle character of His rule.
V. AS THE PREACHERS OF HIS GOSPEL. In the testimonies they afford by their lips and lives that Christ is exalted they show forth His glory before men. (T. Whitelaw, D. D.)
Christ glorified in His disciples
I. We glorify Christ BY FAITH. Now, faith hath a double office, which
1. Accepts Christ. When men slight the offers of Christ which God makes to them, they dishonour Him exceedingly (Act_4:11; Mt 1Pe_2:7).
2. Presents Christ. In all our endeavours to God we must build our acceptance on the merits of Christ (Joh_14:1).
II. BY HOLINESS. Every Christian should walk so as remembering that Christs honour lieth at stake.
1. For the manner; your practice should be elevated according to the height of your privileges in Christ. A Christian should do more than a man (1Co_3:3). We expect that he should go faster that rides on horseback than he that goes on foot. There should be a singularity of holy life.
2. For the principle; Christ must be honoured. You must make Him the principle of your obedience to God (Php_4:13; Gal_2:20.)
3. For the end; you must make His interest the great end of your lives Php_1:21; Rom_14:7-8).
4. For the motive; gratitude to Christ (2Co_5:14).
III. IN OUR ENJOYMENTS. When we think of our title to anything, think, This I have by gift, be it justification, sanctification, glorification, comfort of the creatures. Whatever privilege we look upon as ours, we must see Christ in it (1Co_1:22-23).
IV. BY DOING AND SUFFERING FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF HIS INTEREST AND KINGDOM (2Co_5:13). Let glory to Christ be written, though it be with our blood; only with these cautions:
1. We must think ourselves to be honoured by this service, how grievous, disgraceful, and troublesome soever it be (2Co_5:9).
2. There must be a sense of your unworthiness (Luk_17:10).
3. You must ascribe all to Christs glory; as Joab, when he had conquered Rabbah, sent for David to take the honour: so must we do for Christ (1Co_15:10; 1 Chronicles 29:1.4):
V. BY BEING ZEALOUS FOR HIS INSTITUTIONS; then you honour Christ, by giving the wisdom and power of a lawgiver to Him (Mat_15:6).
VI. BY TAKING SOME SOLEMN TIME TO MEDITATE ON AND ADMIRE THE EXCELLENCY OF HIS PERSON AND THE FULNESS OF HIS REDEMPTION. In heaven this will be our great work (Rev_4:10-11). (T. Manton, D. D.)
Christ glorified in the disciples
It is not difficult to see how the Son was glorified in them. They had been His faithful and devoted followers in all His wanderings; they had forsaken all that they might be His disciples; they had seen His miracles, heard and received His words, and believed that He came forth from the Father. They had suffered the loss of all earthly things for His names sake; they were the depositaries of His truth; they had stood forth alone with Him against nearly all the world; after His ascension they were to manifest forth His glory to all the world, and under Him to go forth to subjugate that world which He, in His death, had actually conquered. And what they did and how they glorified Him after His departure we know well from the inspired record of their labours. (T. Alexander, M. A.)
The apologetic Christ
1. He was glorified in them; made known by them, by their words and lives, as Jesus the Saviour, as the anointed King, and in the beauty of His character and in the grandeur of His Person.
2. Wonderful praise coming from such a source. Yet it was not uncommon for Christ to speak words of commendation. He praised the centurion, the woman of Canaan, the woman who anointed Him in Bethany. And here He praises all His apostles.
3. But who were the men of whom Christ said this? Men of influence, of wealth, of learning? If not these, surely they were great saints. On the contrary, Christ rebuked them again and again for their little faith, for their ambition, for their mistakes and wrong purposes. Wonderful words of praise to say of men who in a few hours would forsake Christ, and deny Him.
4. Yet the Christ who praised these men was Truth itself, and could not flatter nor be deceived. It is manifest, therefore
(1) That Christ sees in His people more than others see in them. The most unpopular man in Jericho was Zaccheus, but Christ associated with him, and declared, Salvation has come to this house, and that he was a son of Abraham. The Christ, so pitiful and kind, sees more in His people than do others. They see their faults; Christ sees their virtues.
(2) And He sees far more in them than they see in themselves. Abraham, standing before God, said of Himself, I am but dust and ashes. But God said, He is My friend. I am not worthy that Thou shouldst come under my roof, said the centurion; but Christ said of him, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. These apostles had their faults. One of them, so oppressed with feelings of unworthiness, bade Christ Depart from me, for I am a sinful man; but Christ said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon, son of Jonas. Christ is not only the pitiful and tender and loving Christ; He makes every allowance for His people; He remembers they are dust, and speaks to them and of them apologetically. (D. F. Sprigg, D. D.)
