The description of the Gospel of John "remains primarily functional and not too far removed from the Pauline formulation that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself" (2Cor 5.19)." p 408
"The Son was taught by the Father (John 8.28) and has received from Him powers such as that of judgment (5.22) and of giving and possessing life (5.21, 26, 6.57)....It would be the work of later theologians to take this Gospel material pertaining to the mission of the Son ad extra and draw from it a theology of the inner life of the Trinity. Returning to (John 10.30), we find that the unity posited there also concerns men [cp. John 17.11]." p 407.
"Jesus has just claimed to be the one sent by God; therefore God must stand behind the works that Jesús does. This is an instance of the Jewish concept of the shaliach or deputy. In Jewish thought the officially commissioned envoy or deputy had the authority of the sender and was legally identifiable with the sender. This not only explains why Jesús' works are the Fathers' works but may also have a bearing on the whole argument of [John 10.34-36], where Jesús, sent by God, does not deny the charge that he's presenting himself as God." p 411
