The Father
In this verse, "The Father" refers to God, the first person of the Holy Trinity. The Greek word used here is "ὁ Πατήρ" (ho Patēr), which emphasizes the intimate and authoritative relationship between God and Jesus. In the context of the Gospel of John, the Father is portrayed as the source of all authority and love. This relationship is foundational to understanding the divine mission of Jesus. Historically, the concept of God as Father was revolutionary, offering a personal and relational understanding of God, contrasting with the more distant deities of surrounding cultures.

loves
The Greek word for "loves" is "ἀγαπᾷ" (agapaō), which denotes a selfless, unconditional love. This is the same root used in the famous "agape" love, which is central to Christian theology. It signifies a deep, abiding love that is not based on merit but is freely given. This love is the driving force behind the Father’s actions and decisions, including the sending of His Son into the world. The use of this word underscores the profound and eternal bond between the Father and the Son.

the Son
"The Son" refers to Jesus Christ, the second person of the Trinity. In Greek, "τὸν Υἱόν" (ton Huion) is used, highlighting the unique and divine sonship of Jesus. This title affirms His deity and His role in the divine plan of salvation. The Son is not merely a messenger but is of the same essence as the Father, fully participating in the divine nature. This relationship is central to the Gospel message, as it establishes Jesus' authority and mission.

and has placed all things in His hands
The phrase "and has placed all things in His hands" signifies the complete authority and sovereignty given to Jesus by the Father. The Greek word for "placed" is "δέδωκεν" (dedōken), meaning to give or entrust. This indicates a transfer of authority and responsibility. "All things" (πάντα, panta) encompasses the entirety of creation and the divine plan, signifying that Jesus has ultimate control and authority over all. The imagery of "in His hands" suggests both power and care, as hands are often associated with action and protection. This phrase assures believers of Christ's supreme authority and His active role in the world and in their lives. Historically, this would have been a radical assertion, challenging both Jewish and Roman understandings of power and authority.

(35) The Father loveth the Son.--Comp. Note on Matthew 11:27, which is remarkable as an instance of what we call distinctly Johannine thought and diction in the earlier Gospels. We shall meet the words again in John 5:20.

Verses 35, 36. - These fired verses certainly have the ring of the Gospel as a whole, and correspond with the fulness of Christological teaching, with which the words of Christ abound, as well as the Epistle of John; yet there is no exact parallel in the later revelation, From whom could such a statement come with greater power than from him who heard the Divine voice from heaven saying, "This is my beloved Son: hear him"? The Berleb. Bible (quoted by Hengstenberg) adds, to the great words, the Father loveth the Son, "as I sufficiently learned from the voice at the Jordan" - and hath given all things into his hand. The "all things" may he taken by us in their widest sense (cf. Matthew 11:27) - "all ἐξουσία in heaven and earth" (Matthew 28:18; cf. 1 Corinthians 15:27; Revelation 1:18); and the power of determining the final condition of all souls, suggested in ver. 36. But we may conceive a less extended horizon limiting the vision of the Baptist: all things belonging to the kingdom of God, to the progress and consummation of it in the world. John need not be supposed to have swept onward into the eternal future, but mainly to have been thinking of the mutual relations of the forerunner and the Christ. The Son will determine the place of his herald and of his disciple. There is no limit expressed. He who had these matters entrusted to him might easily be supposed to have "all things in his hand." He rested the less upon the greater.
