Lapide comments on the phrase "on Him", as signifying the Person of Christ, and that the full meaning is "as many as have received Christ, that is, to all who believe in His name, He has given power to become sons of God," which has the same sense as (1 John 5:1): "Whosoever believes that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God."
It is said that Jesus does away with two vices, pride and avarice with this one command to freely give, since whatever they received is a gift of God, without any merit of their own, and so pride has no place. And second against avarice, because everything received must be freely given away. [2]
The exousia of Jesus is already stressed previously in the same gospel (Matthew 7:29; 10:1, 7–8; 11:27; 22:43–44; 24:35; cf. John 17:2), so it is not entirely correct to claim that the resurrected Jesus has more authority than the Jesus before the crucifixion. [2]

This power is first given to Peter in chapter 16 after Peter confesses that Jesus is the "son of the living God". In addition to the powers of ...
The Hebrew scriptures were an important source for the New Testament authors. [13] There are 27 direct quotations in the Gospel of Mark, 54 in Matthew, 24 in Luke, and 14 in John, and the influence of the scriptures is vastly increased when allusions and echoes are included, [14] with half of Mark's gospel being made up of allusions to and citations of the scriptures.

First page of Mark, by Sargis Pitsak (14th century): "The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God". But who do you say that I am? Only Simon Peter answered him: You are the Christ, the Son of the living God — Matthew 16:15-16 [24] Jesus is mediator, but […] the title means more than someone between God and man. He is not ...
The New Testament identifies Jesus the Christ as the Most High, Whose Name is above all names (Philippians 2:9-10). The Gospel of Mark, often claimed by modern scholarship to be the first and earliest of the Four Gospels, [94] identifies Jesus Christ as the LORD God of Israel by reference to the Tetragrammaton at the beginning of his Gospel:
Because humans are literally God's children, they can also be heirs of his glory, and joint heirs with Jesus Christ (Romans 8:16–17). [77] Latter-day Saints believe that the "glory of God is intelligence, in other words, light and truth" . Therefore the process of inheriting his glory is a process of learning.
