ISB ~ John 10 v36

consecrated:The Greek means to be “sanctified” or “set apart as holy”. Christ is set apart by the Father to consecrate the world in truth (17:19).

• Jesus’ words resonate against the background of the Feast of the Dedication, which celebrates the consecration of the Second Temple by the Maccabees (1 Mac 4:48), just as its predecessors, the wilderness Tabernacle (Num 7:1) and the Solomonic Temple, had been consecrated (1 Kings 9:3). These sanctuaries of old are replaced by the new and consecrated temple of Jesus’ body (2:20-21).
