The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:22-24

What makes the true manifestation possible. I. THE QUESTION OF JUDAS . This question shows how much the disciples had yet to learn; for without doubt all shared the perplexity of the one. How one fundamental error stops a true understanding of all the words of Jesus! In a sense, Jesus had been seen of all men who had eyes to see, but what they had seen had just been the human form. That Jesus should have kingly honor and kingly power they had not discerned. But the disciples seem... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:25-26

These things (in antithesis to the "all things" of which he is about to speak), namely, the great consolations and instructions just delivered not the whole course of his ministerial prophetic teaching— have I uttered , and these things I am stilt continuing to address to you, while remaining with you ; but the Paraclete ( Advocate ), of whom I have spoken as the "Spirit of truth," and whom I now more fully define as the Holy Spirit (this is the only place in this Gospel where this... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:25-26

How the teaching of Jesus becomes abiding and effectual. I. THE POWERLESSNESS OF TRUTH . Jesus continually remembered this. No one, indeed, had more complete experience as to the inability of the natural man to receive spiritual things; and even here, when perhaps the disciples were unusually attentive, Jesus knew that they would be more than ever perplexed. And there was nothing in the mere lapse of time to make the meaning clearer, the promises more receivable, the duties... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:25-27

The promise of a fuller revelation and of an abiding peace. The disciples had much yet to learn. I. THE OFFICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT . "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my Name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." 1. As the purpose of the Son ' s mission is to reveal the Father , so the purpose of the Spirit ' s mission is to reveal the Son . 2. He... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 14:18-24

John 14:18-24. I will not leave you comfortless Greek, ορφανους , orphans: a word elegantly applied to those who have lost any dear friend; I will come to you By my spiritual presence. The Greek, ερχομαι , is literally, I come to you; for what was certainly and speedily to be, our Lord speaks of as if it were already. Yet a little while and the world Which only sees by bodily eyes; seeth me no more In the sense it has done for some time past, though it knows me not; but ye see me ... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 14:25-27

John 14:25-27. These things have I spoken, being yet present I have spoken these things during my personal presence with you briefly, because my time with you is short. But the Comforter, whom the Father will send in my name For my sake, in my room, and as my agent; he shall teach you all things Necessary for you to know; as if he had said, Though you may not now understand many of the particulars mentioned by me, you shall have a perfect knowledge of them afterward. For my Father... read more
