Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
Robert Jamieson, A. R. Fausset & David Brown · 19th-century historical commentary
Source: BibleWord.ai's local reference edition of this named work.
Many good works have I showed you--that is, works of pure benevolence (as in Act 10:38, "Who went about doing good," &c.; see Mar 7:37). from my Father--not so much by His power, but as directly commissioned by Him to do them. This He says to meet the imputation of unwarrantable assumption of the divine prerogatives [LUTHARDT]. for which of those works do ye stone me?--"are ye stoning (that is, going to stone) me?"
