ヨハネの福音書 14:16 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:16-18

"Another Comforter." I. AS ANSWER TO A REQUEST OF JESUS . The manifestation of the Holy Spirit is a conditional thing. Jesus must ask the Father for it; and he can only ask the Father when he perceives the disciples to be going in the way of his directions. If only the disciples will do what Jesus wants them to do, ha will secure for them the indispensable help. They must not be under the delusion that the might of the Holy Spirit will be given to aid them in their own plans... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 14:16

I will pray the Father - This refers to his intercession after his death and ascension to heaven, for this prayer was to be connected with their keeping his commandments. In what way he makes intercession in heaven for his people we do not know. The fact, however, is clearly made known, Romans 8:34; Hebrews 4:14-15; Hebrews 7:25. It is as the result of his intercession in heaven that we obtain all our blessings, and it is through him that our prayers are to be presented and made efficacious... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 14:15-17

John 14:15-17. If ye love me As ye profess to do, keep my commandments For that will be a surer test and more acceptable expression of your regard for me than all your trouble and concern at parting with me. Keeping Christ’s commandments is evidently here put for the practice of godliness in general, and for the faithful and diligent discharge of their office as apostles in particular. And I will pray the Father Here we see, that he required a steady obedience to his commands, as the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 14:15-31

144. Promise of the Holy Spirit (John 14:15-31)In assuring the disciples of the blessings that would follow his return to the Father (see John 14:12), Jesus had not specifically mentioned the Holy Spirit. Now he explained. When he returned to the Father, he would send the Holy Spirit as the Counsellor, or Helper, to guide, instruct and strengthen them. Those who did not believe in Jesus would not be able to understand how this Helper worked, because their understanding was limited to the things... read more

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - John 14:16

pray . Greek. erotao. App-134 . Not aiteo as in John 14:18 . See 1 John 5:16 , where both words are used. shall = will. another . Greek. allos. App-124 . Comforter . Greek. parakletos, rendered "Advocate" in 1 John 2:1 . Parakletos and the Latin Advocatus both mean one called to the side of another for help or counsel. The word is only found in John: here; John 14:26 ; John 15:26 ; John 16:7 and 1 John 2:1 . So we have one Paraclete (the Holy Spirit) as here, and another with the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 14:16

And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may be with you for ever, even the Spirit of truth: whom the world cannot receive; for it beholdeth him not, neither knoweth him: ye know him; for he abideth with you, and shall be in you.This is the first of the five Paraclete sayings in John, concerning which Hans Windisch published a thin tract upholding the thesis that these sayings form no part of John's original Gospel but are interpolations! After listing a few... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 14:16-17

John 14:16-17. He shall give you another Comforter,— Or, another advocate. The word παρακλητον, signifies an advocate or a monitor, as well as a comforter; and it is evident that the blessed Spirit maintained each of these characters; yet as the discourse before us is of the consolatory kind, the term comforter seems to have been made use of with great propriety by our translators. Our Lord promises his apostles, that this Comforter shall abide with them, not for a little time, as he had done... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 14:1-24

3. Jesus’ comforting revelation in view of His departure 14:1-24Peter’s question was only the first of several that the disciples proceeded to ask Jesus. This shows their bewilderment and discouragement. They should have been comforting Him in view of what lay ahead of Him (John 12:27; John 13:21), but instead Jesus graciously proceeded to comfort them by clarifying what lay ahead of them. read more
