The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:29-31

Anticipation. Before giving the signal for removing, Jesus in spirit glances forward. What does he see in the immediate future? I. THE FUTURE SHALL VERIFY HIS WORDS , AND SO STRENGTHEN HIS DISCIPLES ' FAITH . He had explicitly foretold his death, his resurrection and ascension, and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. They did not disbelieve him, but they were slow to grasp the purport of his words. Fulfillment should render his predictions plain, and should... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:30

I will no longer talk much with you . This seems strange when there follow Jn 15-17.; but it gives a hint of the abundance of instruction, of λαλία , of λόγοι , which John at least had heard, of which he has only given the specimens of a few short days of intercourse. For the prince of the world £ (see John 12:31 ); the lord and master, by base usurpation, of the world of men. This term is continually found in rabbinical writings for the great central power of evil in the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:31

But that — ἀλλ ἵνα is elliptical (Westcott translates, "But I surrender myself, that," etc.; and Meyer, "But he cometh, that," etc.), not dependent on ἐγείρεσθε — the world may know —that very world over which this alien spirit has so long tyrannized may know, if not now, yet ultimately— that I love the Father . Then it is the world which is to be nevertheless drawn to him by his being "lifted up "( John 12:1-50 :52)—the world which the Father loves so much as to save and... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 14:30

Will not talk much - The time of my death draws near. It occurred the next day.The prince of this world - See the notes at John 12:31.Cometh - Satan is represented as approaching him to try him in his sufferings, and it is commonly supposed that no small part of the pain endured in the garden of Gethsemane was from some dreadful conflict with the great enemy of man. See Luke 22:53; “This is your hour and the power of darkness.” Compare Luke 4:13.Hath nothing in me - There is in me no principle... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 14:31

That the world may know that I love the Father - That it might not be alleged that his virtue had not been subjected to trial. It was subjected. He was tempted in all points like as we are, yet without sin, Hebrews 4:15. He passed through the severest forms of temptation, that it might be seen and known that his holiness was proof to all trial, and that human nature might be so pure as to resist all forms of temptation. This will be the case with all the saints in heaven, and it was the case... read more

John 14:28-31. If ye loved me With a wise and rational affection, it would allay your sorrows in the mean time, and howsoever you might have a mournful sense of your own loss; you would rejoice on my account, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father Whose servant I am, as Mediator; is, in this respect, greater than I Consequently, it must be my honour and happiness to be in a state of greater nearness to him than the present world will admit. “These words,” as Dr.... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 14:15-31

144. Promise of the Holy Spirit (John 14:15-31)In assuring the disciples of the blessings that would follow his return to the Father (see John 14:12), Jesus had not specifically mentioned the Holy Spirit. Now he explained. When he returned to the Father, he would send the Holy Spirit as the Counsellor, or Helper, to guide, instruct and strengthen them. Those who did not believe in Jesus would not be able to understand how this Helper worked, because their understanding was limited to the things... read more
