And this is the will
The phrase "the will" in Greek is "θέλημα" (thelēma), which signifies a determined purpose or desire. In the context of this verse, it emphasizes the divine intention and sovereign plan of God. The will of God is central to the mission of Jesus, underscoring the alignment between the Father and the Son. This reflects the unity and purpose within the Trinity, where the Son executes the Father's will perfectly.

of Him who sent Me
The phrase "Him who sent Me" refers to God the Father. The Greek word "πέμπω" (pempō) for "sent" indicates a mission with authority and purpose. This highlights the divine commissioning of Jesus, emphasizing His role as the Messiah sent to fulfill God's redemptive plan. Historically, this underscores the Jewish understanding of a prophet or messenger being sent by God, but here it is elevated to the divine mission of the Son of God.

that I shall lose none
The word "lose" in Greek is "ἀπόλλυμι" (apollymi), meaning to destroy or perish. In this context, it conveys the assurance of eternal security for believers. Jesus' mission includes the preservation of those given to Him by the Father, ensuring that none are lost. This reflects the doctrine of perseverance of the saints, a key tenet in conservative Christian theology, affirming that true believers are kept secure in Christ.

of all those He has given Me
The phrase "He has given Me" indicates the divine selection and gifting of believers to the Son. The Greek word "δίδωμι" (didōmi) means to give or grant, suggesting a deliberate act of entrustment by the Father. This highlights the concept of election, where believers are chosen by God and entrusted to Christ. It underscores the grace and sovereignty of God in salvation, emphasizing that believers are a gift from the Father to the Son.

but raise them up
The phrase "raise them up" uses the Greek word "ἀνίστημι" (anistēmi), which means to raise or resurrect. This points to the promise of resurrection and eternal life for believers. It is a powerful assurance of the future hope that Christians hold, rooted in the resurrection of Jesus Himself. This promise is central to Christian eschatology, affirming the bodily resurrection of believers at the end of the age.

at the last day
The term "last day" refers to the eschatological culmination of history, when Christ will return and the final resurrection will occur. In the Jewish context, the "last day" was associated with the coming of the Messiah and the establishment of God's kingdom. For Christians, it signifies the day of judgment and the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan. This phrase encapsulates the hope of eternal life and the ultimate victory over death, providing comfort and assurance to believers.

(39) And this is the Father's will.--Read, with best MSS., And this is the will of Him that sent Me. Comp. Note on John 6:40. These two verses further set forth the divine will in the mission of Christ, first in relation to the Father's gift, and then in relation to man's acceptance. Both verses make emphatic the expression of that will in the mission, Him that sent Me; both refer its fulfilment to the final victory over sin and death, at the last day. Both state the will of God in a single clause, prefaced by the most signal proof of divine love in God revealed on earth, and followed by its end, in man raised to heaven.

The "all" is here neuter, referring to the whole extent of the Messianic work. (Comp. John 6:37.) Vast as this is, beyond our power of thought, including all times, and all places, and all nations, and it may be other worlds, it is the divine will that nothing should be lost. In the moral, as well as in the physical world, no force can perish.

Hath given me . . .--The past tense here, because the gift is thought of in its completion at the last day. (See John 6:37.)

Verse 39. - And this is the will of him (the Father) that sent me, that (with reference to) all that he hath given me I should not lose (sc. τὶ) anything, any fragment of it; i.e. from the entire mass of humanity thus given to me as the guerdon of my sacrificial work, given by the inward working of Divine grace which issues in their coming and reaching me, no solitary soul should be plucked out of my hand - should be let slip away into perdition or destruction. The claim of a Divine authority and absolute power could not be put more strongly. The care with which the Divine hand can protect every fragment of his universe, and hold it by its everlasting laws and keep it in the career assigned to it from the beginning, illumines this passage. Should the speaker not sustain this stupendous assumption, it is only too certain that he was giving utterance to the most reckless raving. These words cannot be honestly watered down to the language of the influence of an ethical reformer or prophetic messenger. Jesus proceeds to clinch his argument and reassert his claims as follows. But in proof of the very opposite of the supposition that I can drop one atom of this great charge, I will raise it up at the last day. Reuss applies this to the resurrection of each believer on the "last day" of each life, for he seems unwilling to find in the Fourth Gospel any such idea as that of the general resurrection. But cf. John 5:29, and observe the repetition as in a wondrous refrain, vers. 40, 44, 54, in which he again speaks of the "last day" - the final consummation of his redemptive work. The next verse shows that the Lord did discriminate between eternal life already bestowed here and now, and the great consequence of such possession in the complete restoration of body as well as life. It is in the continuity and perpetuity of the eternal life that we find the condition of the resurrection life. The "when" of this "last day" is not positively asserted here.
