JOHN 10:30 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“I and my Father are one.”
I and the Father are one — this is the most explicit claim of unity with God in the Gospels, using the neuter 'one' (hen, suggesting unity of essence or being, not merely agreement of will). This statement represents the climax of John's Christology: the Son and the Father are one. This claim of divine unity is the direct cause of the Pharisees' attempt to stone Jesus in the following verse.
Church Fathers on John 10:30
And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication. Encænia is the feast of the dedication of the temple; from the Greek word signifying new. The dedication of any thing new was called encænia.
It was the feast of the dedication of the temple, after the return from the Babylonish captivity.
Or, it was in memory of the dedication under Judas Maccabeus. The first dedication was that of Solomon in the autumn; the second that of Zorobabel, and the priest Jesus in the spring. This was in winter time.
