Definition: Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.

Explanation: Okay, let’s break down this really beautiful and profound verse from John 17:7: “Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.” Here's a simple explanation: This verse is essentially saying: “I am so grateful to you for everything you’ve done, and I believe it was all your love and kindness that led you to this point.” Let’s unpack it further: "Now they have known..." : This means that the person or people who are receiving this statement (likely a believer in Jesus) understand what you've given them. They recognize the good things you've done for them. "...that all things thou hast given me are of thee." : This is the core of the verse. “Thou” is a formal way of saying "you" – it’s used when speaking to God or someone in authority. It means everything you have given – your love, your guidance, your blessings, your help – is coming from you. In simpler terms: You are the source of all good things happening in my life and in the world. I'm so thankful for your care and generosity. Why is this important? This verse highlights the idea of mutual love and dependence. Jesus speaks to God, and he’s showing that his entire being – his existence and his purpose – is connected to the good things happening in the lives of those who believe in him. It’s a powerful expression of trust and gratitude. --- Do you want me to: Explain another verse? Give you some context about this passage? Answer any specific questions you have about it?
