The Tension
My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand.
Analysis

Perspectives
THE CHRISTIAN RESPONSE
In his divine nature, Jesus and the Father are equal because they both share the same divine essence
THE ISLAMIC POSITION
Jesus doesn't say that, he acknowledges the Father's supremacy over all, including himself.
