約翰福音 21:23-24 RCUVTS

The Pulpit Commentary - John 21:23

We need not be surprised that the sublime meaning of these words, "Wait while I am ever coming to him," should have been misunderstood. Therefore this word went forth to the brethren. The designation, "brethren," only occurs in John 20:17 and Luke 22:32 . The more familiar names of "disciples" and "children," "servants" and "apostles," are used in the Gospels. The Acts and Epistles introduce a new group of titles, e.g. "believers" as well as "brethren," "saints" as well as "disciples,"... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 21:23

The untrustworthiness of tradition. Tradition is the handing down from one person to another of what is not committed to writing. It is customary in those primitive societies where writing is unknown. It is practiced also in communities more advanced in civilization, when there is some special reason why it should be preferred to documentary preservation and transmission. That there was traditional teaching concerning our Lord's ministry is undoubted; and it has been disputed to what... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 21:24

This is the disciple who testifieth concerning these things —whether those narrated in the twenty-first chapter or in the entire Gospel. He is still testifying. He has not yet departed. He still proclaims his gospel of the love of God, his memories of "the Word made flesh," of "the Light of the world," his doctrine of the "eternal life which was with the Father, and has been manifested unto us." And wrote these things —compare "these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full" ( ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 21:24

Witness authenticating witness. That the last two verses of this Gospel are not the composition of the evangelist whose name it bears is plain enough. But it is almost equally plain that this fact does not detract from their value, but, all things considered, rather adds to it. I. IT IS EVIDENT THAT THIS GOSPEL WAS KNOWN TO THE CONTEMPORARIES OF THE APOSTLE JOHN . Whoever wrote these supplementary sentences, this appendix to the treatise, it is clear that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 21:24-25

Conclusion of the appendix to the Gospel. These last words are added, not by the apostle, but by some other hand. I. A TESTIMONY TO THE AUTHORSHIP AND TRUTH OF THIS GOSPEL . "This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true." This language implies: 1. That John was still alive. 2. That he was an eye-witness and an ear-witness of all recorded in this Gospel. 3. That the narratives... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 21:23

Then went this saying ... - This mistake arose very naturally:From the words of Jesus, which might be easily misunderstood to mean that he should not die; and, It was probably confirmed when it was seen that John survived all the other apostles, had escaped all the dangers of persecution, and was leading a peaceful life at Ephesus. This mistake John deemed it proper to correct before he died, and has thus left on record what Jesus said and what he meant. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 21:24

This is the disciple ... - This proves that the beloved disciple was John.We know - That is, it is known; it is universally admitted. It was so decidedly his character that he always declared the truth, that it had become known and was unquestioned, so that he himself might appeal to the universal testimony in his behalf. In this case, therefore, we have the testimony of a man whose character for nearly a century was that of a man of truth - so much so that it had become, in a manner,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 21:22-23

John 21:22-23. Jesus saith, If I will that he tarry Without dying; till I come With power and great glory, to execute the judgment I have threatened on mine enemies. Till then he certainly did tarry, and who can say when or how he died? What is that to thee Or to any one else? Follow thou me Mind thou thine own duty, and endeavour to prepare for thine own sufferings, and pry not, with a vain curiosity, into the secret events which may befall him or any other of thy brethren. Then As... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 21:24

John 21:24. This is the disciple which testifieth these things Being still alive after he had written them. From this verse Grotius and some others infer, that the Ephesian bishops added this whole chapter to St. John’s gospel, after his death. But, as Dr. Macknight observes, it evidently proves the contrary, for it assures us that John wrote the things contained in this chapter. And we know that his testimony is true The church probably added these words to this gospel, as Tertius did... read more
