| John 10:17 | Therefore doth the Father love me: *because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. Isaias 53:7. | Therefore doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, etc. Christ here speaketh of himself, as made man for the redemption of mankind: or rather, as he was our Redeemer, both God and man: for he laid down his life, and died as man, and had power to take it up again, as God. Yet the command of laying it down, he as man received from the Father: thus as man, he was obedient to him even to the death on the cross. See Philippians 2:8. (Witham) |
