ヨハネの福音書 16:5-13 JCB

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 16:11

Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. This is to be understood of the judiciary power and authority of Christ, who has "all judgment" committed to him by the Father, as Mediator; has all power in heaven and in earth; and as he is appointed, so he is a very fit person to judge the world at the last day. Now this being disputed and disbelieved by the Jews, the Holy Ghost, in the ministry of Peter, most clearly demonstrated to their full conviction, that he was raised from... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 16:12

I have yet many things to say unto you ,.... Not with respect to the main doctrines of the Gospel, for everything of this kind he had made known unto them, John 15:15 ; but what regarded the rejection of the Jews, and the calling of the Gentiles, the abrogation of the Mosaic economy, and settling the Gospel church state, which were to come to pass after the death and resurrection of Christ, and the sending of the Spirit: but ye cannot bear them now ; because of their prejudices in... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 16:13

Howbeit, when the Spirit of truth is come ,.... Of this character of the Spirit, see John 14:17 . His coming, as before, intends more especially his descent on the apostles at Pentecost; though what is here said of him is true of his office, and of his operations on other persons, and at other times: he will guide you into all truth ; necessary to be known, useful to men, profitable to the churches, even the whole counsel of God; what relates to worship, the nature, form, and... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 16:5

None of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? - In John 13:3 , Peter had asked, Lord, thither goest thou? - and Thomas much the same in John 14:5 , both of whom had received an answer. But now, at the time when Jesus was speaking this, none of them asked this question, because their hearts were filled with sorrow: John 16:6 . read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 16:7

It is expedient - that I go away - In other places he had showed them the absolute necessity of his death for the salvation of men: see Matthew 20:19 ; Matthew 26:2 ; Mark 9:31 ; Mark 10:33 , Luke 9:44 ; Luke 18:32 . This he does not repeat here, but shows them that, by the order of God, the Holy Spirit cannot come to them, nor to the world, unless he first die; and consequently men cannot be saved but in this way. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 16:8

He will reprove - Ελεγξει , He will demonstrate these matters so clearly as to leave no doubt on the minds of those who are simple of heart; and so fully as to confound and shut the mouths of those who are gainsayers. See Acts 2:1 , etc. The world - The Jewish nation first, and afterwards the Gentile world; for his influences shall not be confined to one people, place, or time. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 16:9

Of sin - Of the sin of the Jews in not receiving me as the Messiah, though my mission was accredited by the very miracles which the prophets foretold: see Isaiah 35:3-6 . This was literally fulfilled on the day of pentecost, when the Spirit was given; for multitudes of Jews were then convinced of this sin, and converted to God. See Acts 2:37 . If we take this prediction of our Lord in a more general sense, then we may consider that it is one of the grand offices of the Holy Spirit to... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 16:10

Of righteousness - Of my innocence and holiness, because I go away to my Father; of which my resurrection from the dead, and my ascension to heaven, shall be complete proofs. Christ was treated by the Jews as an impostor; as a magician; as one possessed by the devil; as a wicked person, seducer, and destroyer of the law. His vindication from these charges he chiefly referred to the Holy Spirit, the Advocate, who, by his influences on the minds of the people, and by his eloquence and energy... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 16:11

Of judgment - Of the false judgment of the Jews in condemning the Lord Jesus, who, as some think, is intended here by the ruler of this world: see John 14:30 . Others think that Satan is meant whose usurped power over the world was now to be greatly restrained, and by and by totally destroyed: see John 12:31 ; Colossians 2:15 ; Revelation 11:15 ; Revelation 12:10 , Revelation 12:11 . Perhaps our Lord's meaning is, that as a most astonishing judgement, or punishment, was now about... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 16:12

Ye cannot bear them now - In illustration of these three points, Christ had many things to say; but he found that his disciples could only bear general truths; yet, in saying what he did, he sowed the seeds of the whole system of theological knowledge, and heavenly wisdom, which the Holy Spirit of this truth afterwards watered and ripened into a glorious harvest of light and salvation, by the ministry of the apostles. Dr. Lightfoot supposes that the things which the apostles could not bear... read more
