Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 16:33

The structural marker "these things I have spoken to you" (cf. John 14:25; John 16:1; John 16:4; John 16:25; John 17:1) identifies the conclusion of this section of the discourse. The ultimate reason for Jesus’ revelations about His departure, as far as His immediate disciples were concerned, was that they might experience peace in their relationship with Him (cf. John 14:27). "In me" probably harks back to the vine and branches intimacy that Jesus revealed in chapter 15. Their relationship... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - John 16:1-33

The Resurrection and Ascension of Christ Will Prove the Disciples’ Comfort in Time of Persecution1-6. The Persecution of the Apostles predicted. This section repeats many of the ideas of the previous chapter (see John 15:18-24). The reason of the anticipated persecution is ’because they (the persecutors) have not known the Father nor Me’ (John 16:3); i.e. because they have mistaken the character of the service which the Father requires of them. They think that He requires strict observance of... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - John 16:33

(33) These things I have spoken unto you . . .—At the conclusion of the discourse He sums up in a single thought what was the object of it, “Peace in Him. In the world, indeed, tribulation, but this as conquered in Him, and not interrupting the true peace in Him.” The thought is closely allied to that of the last verse, “Alone and not alone;” “Troubled, and yet having peace.” He had spoken of this from John 14:1 onwards, and from John 15:18 to John 16:4 specially of the tribulation which... read more

Why Christ Must Depart John 16:7 I. The first thing to strike one is the way Jesus took to break the news. It was characteristic. His sayings and doings always came about in the most natural way. Even His profoundest statements of doctrine were invariably apropos of some often trivial circumstance happening in the day's round. So now He did not suddenly deliver Himself of the doctrine of the Ascension. It leaked out, as it were, in the ordinary course of things. II. Notice His reasons for... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - John 16:16-33

XV. LAST WORDS."A little while, and ye behold Me no more; and again a little while, and ye shall see Me. Some of His disciples therefore said one to another, What is this that He saith unto us, A little while, and ye behold Me not; and again a little while, and ye shall see Me: and, Because I go to the Father? They said therefore, What is this that He saith, A little while? We know not what He saith. Jesus perceived that they were desirous to ask Him, and He said unto them, Do ye inquire among... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - John 16:1-33

CHAPTER 16 1. Persecutions Predicted. (John 16:1-6 .) 2. The Comforter and His Demonstration. (John 16:7-15 .) 3. Sorrow and joy. (John 16:16-22 .) 4. The Father Himself Loveth You. (John 16:23-27 .) 5. His Final Word before His Prayer. (John 16:28-33 .) Again He announced coming persecutions. The world is the same today as then, and before this age ends these predictions of our Lord will be again fulfilled, during the great tribulation. The coming of the Comforter is once more announced by... read more

John Calvin

Geneva Study Bible - John 16:33

16:33 {11} These things I have spoken unto you, that {h} in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.(11) The surety and foundation of the Church depends only upon the victory of Christ.(h) That in me you might be thoroughly quieted. For by "peace" is meant here that quiet state of mind which is completely contrary to disquietness and great sadness. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - John 16:1-33

All that the Lord spoke on that memorable night was intended for the preparation of His disciples for what would face them in view of His death, resurrection and return to the glory. There would be stern tests for them such as they had not yet seen, and He prepares them that they should not be stumbled and faint under the trial. They would be put out of the synagogues (v.2), just as had the man recovered from blindness (John 9:34), a dreadful experience for a Jew, for this meant rejection by... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - John 16:1-33

CENTRAL TEACHING CONTINUED The fundamental subject of this discourse is that of the relation of believers to Jesus Christ in respect to practical life under the coming dispensation: 1. The relation of members who share in His life and thereby bring forth fruit unto God (John 15:1-8 ). 2. The relation of friends who share in His love and maintain its continuance and manifest its effect by love to each other (John 15:9-17 ). 3. The relation of followers who share in His work toward the world,... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - John 16:1-33

Blessings In Unexpected Ways Joh 16:7 The text calls us to meditate upon some of the sudden and unexpected changes in divine movements. Sometimes heavenly blessings come to us, so to speak, by steps so clearly marked, so orderly, and so natural, that we can almost calculate how and in what measure they will descend upon us. Sometimes God gives us blessings to our reason; we have thought about them, prepared for them, felt assured that by a kind of gracious necessity they must be ours, and... read more
