Joh 10:15. Καθώς, as) This is connected with the preceding verse. Often the relation of believers towards Christ is derived from the peculiar relation of Christ towards the Father: ch. Joh 14:20, “I am in My Father, and ye in Me, and I in you;” Joh 15:10, “If ye keep My commandments, ye shall abide in My love, even as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love; Joh 17:8; Joh 17:21, “I have given unto them the words which Thou gavest Me;-That they all may be one, as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in us;” Mat 11:27, “Neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him;” Luk 22:29, “I appoint unto you a kingdom, as My Father hath appointed unto Me;” 1Co 11:3, “The Head of every man is Christ,-and the Head of Christ is God;” 1Co 15:28, “The Son also Himself shall be subject unto Him that put all things under Him, that God may be all in all;” Rev 3:21, “To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with Me on My throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with My Father on His throne.”-καί) and for that reason [viz. because I am the Good Shepherd]. Hence [from this act of love] it is that the sheep know the ‘goodness’ of the Shepherd.-τίθημι, I lay down) Present. The whole life of Christ was a going to death.
