Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 14:30-31

John 14:30-31. Hereafter I will not talk to much with you:— "I shall not have much opportunityto talk with you after this; because the devil is now excitinghis emissaries to take away my life; in which he will succeed. However, be assured, that I shall undergo the punishment of death; not because I deserve it, for he hath nothing in me;—no guilt of mine to give him power over me, nor any inward corruption to take part with his temptation: but I undergo this death, for this grand reason among... read more

30, 31. Hereafter I will not talk much with you—"I have a little more to say, but My work hastens apace, and the approach of the adversary will cut it short." for the prince of this world—(See on John 14:1). cometh—with hostile intent, for a last grand attack, having failed in His first formidable assault (John 14:1- :) from which he "departed [only] for a season" (John 14:13). and hath nothing in me—nothing of His own—nothing to fasten on. Glorious saying! The truth of it is, that which makes... read more

31. But that the world may know that I love the Father, c.—The sense must be completed thus: "But to the Prince of the world, though he has nothing in Me, I shall yield Myself up even unto death, that the world may know that I love and obey the Father, whose commandment it is that I give My life a ransom for many." Arise, let us go hence—Did they then, at this stage of the discourse, leave the supper room, as some able interpreters conclude? If so, we think our Evangelist would have mentioned... 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 14:30-31

Jesus would not speak much longer with the disciples because His passion was imminent. He did not mean that His present discourse was almost over. Satan, the being who under God’s sovereign authority controlled the present course of events, was about to crucify Jesus (cf. John 6:70; John 13:21; John 13:27). "He has nothing in Me" or "He has no hold on me" translates a Hebrew idiom and means Satan has no legal claim on me. Satan would have had a justifiable charge against Jesus if Jesus had... 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

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - John 14:30

(30) Hereafter I will not talk much with you.—Better, I will no more, or, I will not continue to talk much with you. The discourse is broken by the thought that the hour of the conflict is at hand, and that He must go forth to meet it.For the prince of this world cometh.—Better, is coming. The approach is thought of as then taking place. For the phrase, “prince of this world,” comp. Note on John 12:31. The prince of evil is here regarded as working in and by Judas, who is carrying out his plans... read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - John 14:31

(31) The most probable arrangement of this verse is to omit the period after “so I do,” and to consider all down to this point as governed by “that.” We shall read then, “But, that the world may know that I love the Father, and that as the Father gave Me commandment, so I do, arise, let us go hence.” He has asserted, in the previous verse, the sinlessness which makes His act wholly self-determined. He now expresses the subordination of His own to the Father’s will, and summons the Apostles to... read more

John 14:0 In the narrative of Sir Walter Scott's last days at Abbotsford, Lockhart tells how one morning he had his chair wheeled 'into the library, and placed by the central window, that he might look down on the Tweed. Here he expressed the wish that I should read to him, and when I asked from what book, he said: "Need you ask? There is but one?" I chose the fourteenth chapter of St. John's Gospel; he listened with mild devotion.' Reference. XIV. Expositor (4th Series), vol. v. p. 290. The... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - John 14:22-31

XI. THE BEQUEST OF PEACE."Judas (not Iscariot) saith unto Him, Lord, what is come to pass that Thou wilt manifest Thyself unto us, and not unto the world? Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love Me, he will keep My word: and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth Me not keepeth not My words: and the word which ye hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me. These things have I spoken unto you, while yet abiding with you. But... read more
