John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 14:18

I will not leave you comfortless ,.... Gr. "orphans", or "fatherless". Christ stands in the relation of a Father to his people, and they are his children, his spiritual seed and offspring; and so the disciples might fear, that as Christ was going from them, they should be left as children without a father, in a very desolate and comfortless, condition: to support them against these fears, Christ promises that he would not leave them thus, at least not long: I will come to you ; in a very... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 14:19

Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more ,.... The men of the world now see me with their bodily eyes, which is all the sight they have of me; and this they will be deprived of in a very little time; they will see me no more until the time that I shall come in the clouds of heaven to judge the world; and then every eye shall see me: but ye see me ; ye see me now, and shall see me after my resurrection, as they did; for then he appeared alive and conversed with them for forty... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 14:20

At that day ye shall know ,.... The things they should know, or the objects of knowledge are, that I am in my Father ; in his bosom, in union with him, partaker of the same nature, perfections, and glory with him, and equal to him: and you in me : that they were in union with him as the branches in the vine, and as the members are in the head, and how they were loved in him, chosen in him, righteous in him, risen with him, and made to sit together in heavenly places in him: and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 14:21

He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them ,.... He that has not merely the external revelation of them in the Bible; but has them written on his heart, by the finger of the Spirit of God, and keeps them under the influence of grace and strength received from him: he it is that loveth me : others may talk of loving Christ, but this is the man that truly does love him; for his observance of Christ's commands is a proof and evidence that he loves him not in word only, but in deed and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 14:22

Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot ,.... This was Judas Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus, the same with Jude the apostle, the author of the epistle which bears his name; and is said to be "not Iscariot", to distinguish him from the betrayer. The question put by him, Lord, how is it , τι γεγονεν , which answers to מאי דא , or מאי האי , or מהו , with the Talmudists, "what is this thou sayest"; what is the meaning of it? how can it be? or what is the reason of it, that... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 14:23

Jesus answered and said unto him ,.... This answer is returned, and these words are spoken, for the further confirmation and explanation of what was before said: if a man love me, he will keep my words ; by his "words" are meant not his doctrines, but his ordinances; the same with his commandments, John 14:21 , which he has said, ordered, and commanded to be observed, and which are observed by such who truly love him, and that from a principle of love to him, and with a view to his... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 14:24

He that loveth me not, keepeth not my sayings ,.... These words may have respect both to external professors of religion, who being destitute of true love to Christ, though they outwardly observe his ordinances and commands; yet inasmuch as this does not spring from a principle of love to him, and is done only to be seen of men, or to obtain life for themselves, may be said, not to keep his words or commands, because they do not keep them aright; and to the profane world, who, as they have... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 14:25

These things have I spoken unto you ,.... Concerning his Father, and his Father's house, and the way to both; concerning his being in the father, and the Father in him; concerning keeping his commandments, and the advantages and benefits following upon it: being , says he, yet present with you ; which is a strong intimation that in a little time he should not be present with them; and that whilst he was present with them, he was desirous of saying such things to them in a brief... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 14:26

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost ,.... Before spoken of, John 14:16 , for whom Christ promised to pray the Father that he might be given to them. The word used there, as here, signifies an "advocate", and is so rendered, 1 John 2:1 , a patron, one that pleads and defends, the cause of another, before kings and princes; so the Jewish writers F26 Maimon. & Bartenora in Pirke Abot, c. 4. sect. 11. use the word פרקליט , the same with παρακλητος , here, and give this... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 14:27

Peace I leave with you ,.... Christ being about to die and leave his disciples, makes his last will and testament, and as the best legacy he could leave them, bequeaths peace unto them; my peace I give unto you : he left the Gospel of peace with them, to be preached by them to all the world; which is a declaration and publication of peace made by his blood; is a means of reconciling the minds of men to God and Christ, to the truths, ordinances, and people of Christ; of relieving and... read more
