ヨハネによる福音書 14:7-8 JC

The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:5-7

Thomas's questioning. It turned upon the ability of Christ to bring the disciples to the end of the way. I. THOMAS 'S OBSCURITIES . " Lord , we know not whither thou goest, and how can we know the way?" 1. He imagined that the Messiah ' s reign was to be on earth . Where, then, could be the royal home to which the Messiah was about to depart, and into which he was to gather his saints? 2. The question illustrates the peculiar temper of a disciple who is not... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:6-7

Jesus saith to him, I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me. If ye had learned to know me, ye would have £ known (absolutely) my Father also: from henceforward ye know (by personal experience) him, and (or, perhaps, even) ye have seen him . The whole sentence must be taken together. The whither of Christ is obvious enough, and throws consequent illumination upon the way thither. "The Father's house" is the whither no one cometh unto... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:8

Philip has been introduced in John 1:44-46 ; John 6:7 ; John 12:21 , etc. (see notes), as one early acquainted with the sons of Zebedee, with Andrew and Nathaniel. He is described as convinced of the Messianic character of Jesus, and able, by what he had seen and heard, to overcome all prejudices. Philip, with practical mind, took part in the conversations and preparations for our Lord's great miracle on the loaves. Philip was thought of as a suitable person to introduce the Greeks to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:8-9

The desired vision. We have here— I. A DIVINE VISION REQUESTED . "Show us the Father." This implies: 1. A special vision of God . 2. That such a vision is the great want of man . 3. That such a vision , they believed , Jesus was fully able to furnish . "Lord, show us," etc . Of his ability to do this they are quite confident, of his willingness they have but little doubt; hence the prayer is direct, confident, but reverential. Their request is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:8-21

Philip's questioning. This disciple, one of the earliest, seizes upon the last word of our Lord and asks for a bodily sight of the Father. I. PHILIP 'S DEMAND TO SEE THE FATHER . "Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us." 1. It is hard to decide how much of ignorance is compatible with saving grace . 2. Evidently Philip thought of such a revelation of God as was vouchsafed to Moses in answer to the request , " Lord , show me thy glory ." 3. He... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 14:7

If ye had known me - By this Jesus does not intend to say that they were not truly his disciples, but that they had not a full and accurate knowledge of his character and designs. They still retained, to a large extent, the Jewish notions respecting a temporal Messiah, and did not fully understand that he was to die and be raised from the dead.Ye should have known my Father also - You would have known the counsels and designs of my Father respecting my death and resurrection. If you had been... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 14:8

Lord, show us the Father - Philip here referred to some outward and visible manifestation of God. God had manifested himself in various ways to the prophets and saints of old, and Philip affirmed that if some such manifestation should be made to them they would be satisfied. It was right to desire evidence that Jesus was the Messiah, but such evidence “had been” afforded abundantly in the miracles and teaching of Jesus, and that “should” have sufficed them. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 14:7

John 14:7. If ye had known me As ye might and ought to have known me. If ye had earnestly sought and obtained that knowledge of me which is communicated by the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, (Ephesians 1:17,) ye would have known my Father also In his various perfections, and in those blessed relations in which he stands to such as believe on Christ with a living faith, and are accepted through him, the beloved. “If you had had an adequate idea of my character, from the miracles I... read more
