The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand.
All Commentaries on John 3:35 Go To John 3
Cornelius a Lapide
AD 1637
The Father loveth, &c. As God the Father loveth the Son without measure, so He giveth all things into His hand, that Isaiah , at His disposal and power without measure. All things, both corporeal and spiritual: all things, both in heaven and earth, and consequently all the gifts of the Holy Ghost, that He may bestow them upon those who believe in Him, according to His own good pleasure. Again, all things, that Isaiah , every right which the Holy Trinity has over men and things created, this He hath given to the Song of Solomon , not only as He is God, but as He is Prayer of Manasseh , that He may do with them whatsoever He willeth. Hear Euthymius, "As God had all things (for all things were made by Him), this possession also hath He given to Him (Christ) as He is man. In a suitable manner it hath been said, "He loveth, and He hath given," as is said among men. For fathers are wont to love their sons, and to give them what is theirs."
