約翰福音 16:26-27 CUNPTS

The Pulpit Commentary - John 16:26

In that day —pointing to "the hour" of these open declarations— ye shall ask ( make petitions , not ask or demand of me, in the tone of equality) in my Name . The opportunity will come when all my Name will be appreciated by you, and your spiritual reception of me will teach you to approach the Father, who is thus revealed to you. Calvin in these verses calls attention to the familiarity of Israel with the idea of a Mediator, one by whom they drew near to God, and that Christ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 16:26-27

The Father's love. The time here referred to must be the dispensation of the Holy Spirit. A great purpose of the gift of the Comforter and the establishment of the Church on earth was that a new, intimate, and happy relation might be constituted uniting the eternal God by personal and spiritual bonds to those who, made in his image, should become by grace partakers of his character. I. THE OBJECTS OF THE FATHER 'S LOVE . The description given of such as the Father regards... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 16:27

For the Father himself loveth you ( φιλεῖ ), with love of a fatherly affection, such as mine to you, because ye have loved me (the perfect preterit, in the sense of the realized past in the present which shall then be), and have believed that I came forth from the side of ( παρὰ ) the Father . £ In their belief of this transcendent fact is the hope of the world. It was wrought in them by the strengthening pulses of a deepening love, and to this love God himself responds with a... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 16:26

I say not unto you that I will pray ... - In John 14:16, Jesus says that he would pray the Father, and that he would send the Comforter. In John 17:0 he offered a memorable prayer for them. In Hebrews 7:25, it is said that Jesus ever liveth to make intercession for us; and it is constantly represented in the New Testament that it is by his intercession in heaven now that we obtain the blessings of pardon, peace, strength, and salvation. Compare Hebrews 9:24. This declaration of Jesus, then,... read more

John 16:25-28. These things Though very weighty and important; have I spoken unto you in proverbs In the obscurity of parables, which have appeared dark and mysterious to you; but the time cometh, &c. You may comfort yourselves with this thought, that the time is at hand when I shall speak unto you no more in proverbs No more in that obscure manner; but I shall show you plainly of the Father Shall, by the teaching of my Spirit, declare to you, in plain terms, the whole counsel... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 16:16-33

147. Difficulties ahead for the disciples (John 16:16-33)Within the next twenty-four hours Jesus would be taken from his disciples, but three days later, after his resurrection, they would see him again. Their sorrow would be replaced by joy, just as a woman’s pains before giving birth are replaced by joy after the child is born (John 16:16-22). Jesus’ victory through death and resurrection would give them a confidence in God that they never had before. They would see Jesus Christ as the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 16:26

In that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you; for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from the Father.This is a further exhortation for the apostles to pray directly to God in Jesus' name, on the grounds that the love of God for Christ is extended to Jesus' disciples. This love of God was the result not merely of their belief in Christ (last clause) but was also based upon their love of... read more
