The Pulpit Commentary - John 16:8

And he, when he is come ( ἐλθών ). A right royal assurance. The Holy Spirit will come, as my grace and the result of my sending. He will convict the world. Little doubt is now entertained that this ἔλεγχος implies the refutation of error, the discovery of wrong-doing, the bringing it home to the person convinced, and thus convicted ( John 3:20 ; John 8:9 , John 8:46 ; 1 Corinthians 14:24 ; Titus 1:9 ; James 2:9 ); making such a one see that he is open to the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 16:8-9

Conviction of sin. Looking forward to the dispensation of the Spirit, the Lord Jesus described by anticipation the work of the Spirit in the world. It cannot be overlooked that this work has been, and ever must be, connected with the publication of the gospel of salvation through the Divine Redeemer. It is not to be supposed that we exalt the office of the Spirit when we neglect or depreciate the Word with which and through which the Spirit acts. I. THE SIN OF WHICH THE ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 16:8-10

Conviction of righteousness. In order to moral improvement there must be a sense of sin and its degradation and misery, and there must be some apprehension of righteousness and holiness accompanied by both admiration and aspiration. It is an evidence of the divinely wise provision of the gospel of Christ, that there is secured for man, in the influences of the Spirit of God, not only a power which dissatisfies men with sin, but a power which impels men to righteousness. I. THERE IS ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 16:8-11

Conviction of judgment. It is usually said that the sin of which the Spirit convicts is the sin of the world; that the righteousness is that of Christ; and that the judgment is the judgment of Satan. In this last reference our Lord's language must be regarded as anticipatory. Satan's power was never so awfully evinced as in the condemnation and crucifixion of the Son of God; yet the hour of his apparent triumph was in reality the hour of his fall. Translated into ordinary language, this... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 16:8-11

The convicting work of the Spirit. Here surely is the true and abiding blessing for those who labor to look under the surface, and see Jesus dealing with the deep, ancient, and malignant causes of all human trouble. Jesus came teaching, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness. The blessing of his incarnate ministry was just as deep, just as shallow, as the recipient chose to make it. But when the incarnate Jesus departs to make... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 16:9

The three elements of this conviction of the world are separately treated. In respect of sin, because they believe not on me . The ὅτι , has been restricted by Meyer to "so far as ," as though the conviction with respect to sin was limited to a charge of specific unbelief; and Hengstenberg would render it " consisting in this, that," etc. But surely the full causal force of the particle is to be pressed, " because they believe not on me ." The essence of all sin is unbelief,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 16:10

In respect of righteousness, because I go to the Father, £ and ye behold me no more . Not merely that the world will be led to form a new conception of righteousness, seeing that God has exalted him whom they have condemned as a malefactor,—that would really, with Lucke and Meyer, limit this "righteousness" to a judgment concerning the guiltlessness of Christ; nor can we, with Luther, etc., regard it as equivalent to the δικαιοσύνη of Romans 1:17 , the righteous attribute and... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 16:7

It is expedient for you ... - The reason why it was expedient for them that he should go away, he states to be, that in this way only would the Comforter be granted to them. Still, it may be asked why the presence of the Holy Spirit was more valuable to them than that of the Saviour himself? To this it may be answered:1. That by his departure, his death, and ascension - by having these great facts before their eyes they would be led by the Holy Spirit to see more fully the design of his coming... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 16:8

He will reprove - The word translated “reprove” means commonly to demonstrate by argument, to prove, to persuade anyone to do a thing by presenting reasons. It hence means also to convince of anything, and particularly to convince of crime. This is its meaning here. He will convince or convict the world of sin. That is, he will so apply the truths of God to men’s own minds as to convince them by fair and sufficient arguments that they are sinners, and cause them to feel this. This is the nature... read more
