E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - John 14:27

Peace. Figure of speech Synecdoche. Greek. eirene. Six times in John, always by the Lord. Compare Daniel 10:19 . with you = to you. My peace . The Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6 ) alone can give true peace. Compare John 16:33 ; John 20:19 , John 20:21 , John 20:26 . Luke 24:36 . unto = to, world. Greek kosmos. App-129 . The world talks of peace, and we have Peace Societies, and Temples of Peace, while the nations are arming to the teeth. The world (Acts 4:27 ) slew Him Who came to bring... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 14:26

But the Comforter, even the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said unto you.Teaching the apostles all things and bringing to their remembrance all that Jesus taught are parallel. Christ's message to men was perfect and complete; and the function of the Holy Spirit even in the apostles, was not that of continuing an incomplete revelation but of aiding their remembrance of the complete revelation already... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 14:27

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.The full appreciation of these remarkable words derives from their having been spoken within the very eye of the greatest storm of evil ever to appear on earth. Only Paul ever approached such tranquillity with his recurring theme "rejoice" written from a dungeon in Rome. As Reynolds said:This verse shows how the ordinary salutation may become... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 14:25-26

John 14:25-26. These things have I spoken— "I have spoken these things during my personal presence, because my time with you is short; and though you may not just now understand many of the particulars mentioned by me, you shall have perfect knowledge of them afterwards; for my Father will give you the Holy Spirit to supply the place of my bodily presence; and he shall be a παρακλητος, a monitor or instructor, to you, (see John 14:16.) teaching you doctrinally and experimentally every article... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 14:27

John 14:27. Peace I leave with you:— "Peace be to you" was the common salutation and compliment mutually given by the Jews to each other at meeting and parting. But although this compliment implied a wish of every thing thatcould make one happy, it was often used without any meaning. At best, it was but a wish, however sincere, and had no real efficacy in making him to whom it was given happy. But in the mouth of Jesus, by whose wisdom and power the affairs of the world are governed, a farewel... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 14:27

27. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you—If John 14:25; John 14:26 sounded like a note of preparation for drawing the discourse to a close, this would sound like a farewell. But oh, how different from ordinary adieus! It is a parting word, but of richest import, the customary "peace" of a parting friend sublimed and transfigured. As "the Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:6) He brought it into flesh, carried it about in His Own Person ("My peace") died to make it ours, left it as the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 14:25-26

Jesus had made these revelations to His disciples while abiding with them, but when the Holy Spirit came to abide in them, the Spirit would enable them to understand them.Jesus now identified the Helper whom He had promised earlier as the Holy Spirit (cf. John 14:16-17). He is the Spirit characterized by holiness as well as by truth (John 14:17).The Father would send the Holy Spirit in Jesus’ name (i.e., as Jesus’ emissary and with exactly the same attitude toward God’s will that Jesus had).... read more

4. The promise of future understanding 14:25-31Jesus realized that the Eleven did not fully understand what He had just revealed. He therefore encouraged them with a promise that they would understand His words later. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 14:27

The disciples’ uneasiness at the prospect of Jesus leaving them without clarifying what they did not yet understand elicited this word of comfort from their Teacher."Peace" (Gr. eirene, Heb. shalom) was a customary word of greeting and farewell among the Jews. Jesus used it here as a farewell, but He used it as a greeting again after the Resurrection (John 20:19; John 20:21; John 20:26). Jesus probably meant that He was bequeathing peace to the Eleven as an inheritance that would secure their... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - John 14:1-31

The Comforter1-31. The mansions in heaven. The mission of the Comforter. This great discourse, which is not easily susceptible of formal subdivision, deals with five main subjects: (1) the heavenly mansions; (2) Christ as the Way to the Father; (3) the mutual indwelling of the Father in the Son, and of the Son in the Father; (4) the efficacy of prayer through Christ; (5) the mission of the Comforter.Some scholars think that a displacement has occurred in the farewell discourses, and... read more
