This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
We may understand this two ways;
1. Of all persons; all my friends, all my disciples, are thine as well as mine.
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.
