John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 12:27

Now is my soul troubled ,.... At the hardness and unbelief of the Jews, and the rejection of them, when the Gentiles would be called, and converted, by which he would be glorified: and at the conduct and carriage of his disciples to him, he had a foreknowledge of; at the betraying of him by one, and the denial of him by another, and the flight of them all from him; and at the devil, and the furious and violent attack he knew he would make upon him, though he had obliged him to leave him,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 12:28

Father, glorify thy name ,.... The perfections of his nature, particularly his justice and holiness, meaning in himself; by his sufferings and death; intimating hereby, that his Father's glory was what he had in view, and that the securing of that would give him an infinite pleasure amidst all his sorrows. The Arabic version, and Nonnus, read "glorify thy Son", as in John 17:1 , and the Ethiopic version takes in both, "glorify thy name, and thy Son": and indeed, what glorifies the one,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 12:29

The people therefore that stood by and heard it ,.... Some more confusedly, who were farthest off; others more distinctly, who were nearer: the first of these, said that it thundered ; as it used to do when "Bath Kol" was heard, which, as the Jews say F1 Piske Tosephot in T. Bab. Sanhedrin, art. 30. , "is a voice that comes out of heaven proceeding from the midst of another voice,' as thunder; wherefore some took this for thunder, and others for the voice of an angel out of... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 12:23

The hour is come, that the Son of man, etc. - The time is just at hand in which the Gospel shall be preached to all nations, the middle wall of partition broken down, and Jews and Gentiles united in one fold. But this could not be till after his death and resurrection, as the succeeding verse teaches. The disciples were the first fruits of the Jews; these Greeks, the first fruits of the Gentiles. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 12:24

Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die - Our Lord compares himself to a grain of wheat; his death, to a grain sown and decomposed in the ground; his resurrection, to the blade which springs up from the dead grain; which grain, thus dying, brings forth an abundance of fruit. I must die to be glorified; and, unless I am glorified, I can not establish a glorious Church of Jews and Gentiles upon earth. In comparing himself thus to a grain of wheat, our Lord shows us: - The cause... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 12:25

He that loveth his life - See on Matthew 10:39 ; (note); Luke 14:26 ; (note). I am about to give up my life for the salvation of men; but I shall speedily receive it back with everlasting honor, by my resurrection from the dead. In this I should be imitated by my disciples, who should, when called to it, lay down their lives for the truth; and, if they do, they shall receive them again with everlasting honor. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 12:26

If any man serve me - Christ is a master in a twofold sense: To instruct men. To employ and appoint them their work. He who wishes to serve Christ must become: His disciple or scholar, that he may be taught: His servant, that he may be employed by and obey his master. To such a person a twofold promise is given: He shall be with Christ, in eternal fellowship with him; and He shall be honored by the Lord: he shall have an abundant recompense in glory; but how great, eye hath not... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 12:27

Now is my soul troubled - Our blessed Lord took upon him our weaknesses, that he might sanctify them to us. As a man he was troubled at the prospect of a violent death. Nature abhors death: God has implanted that abhorrence in nature, that it might become a principle of self preservation; and it is to this that we owe all that prudence and caution by which we avoid danger. When we see Jesus working miracles which demonstrate his omnipotence, we should be led to conclude that he was not man... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 12:28

Father, glorify thy name - By the name of God is to be understood himself, in all his attributes: his wisdom, truth, mercy, justice, holiness, etc., which were all more abundantly glorified by Christ's death and resurrection, (i.e. shown forth in their own excellence), than they had ever been before. Christ teaches here a lesson of submission to the Divine will. Do with me what thou wilt, so that glory may redound to thy name. Some MSS. read, Father, glorify my name: others, glorify thy Son.... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 12:29

The people - said that it thundered: others - an angel spake to him - Bishop Pearce says, Probably there was thunder as well as a voice, as in Exodus 19:16 , Exodus 19:17 , and some persons, who were at a small distance, might hear the thunder without hearing the voice; while others heard the voice too; and these last said, "An angel hath spoken to him." Wetstein supposes that the voice was in the language then in use among the Jews; which the Greeks, not understanding, took for... read more
