ExplanationCommentary
Verse 6. To the men whom thou gavest me out of the world. By whom we may understand his apostles and disciples. They were thine, and also mine, as I am God. See verse 10.—And to me thou gavest them, inasmuch as I am become man, their Saviour, their Redeemer, and so forth Witham.—Had then the Father any thing which the Son had not? By no means. But Christ, as Son of God, had from eternity what he had not as Son of man; because he had not yet taken flesh of his virgin mother. All that he had as God, he attributes to his Father. Saint Augustine tract. 106. in Joan.
