约翰福音 12:28-32 CUNPSS

The Pulpit Commentary - John 12:32

The saving influence of Christ. Notice it— I. IN SOME OF ITS CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES . 1. It is the influence of the greatest Person . "And I," etc. To know something about influence, let us ask who influences? 2. The influence of the greatest Person, having made the greatest sacrifice . "And I, if I be lifted up." The incarnate Word laid down his life as a sacrifice for sin. This sacrifice is infinite, perfect, and matchless. 3. The influence of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 12:32

The all-attracting Jesus. I. THE AIMS AND HOPES OF JESUS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE TO WHOM HE SPOKE . Those who questioned and criticized him cared for no country but their own. Not that they were ignorant of other Countries, for they went to live in them, but they still kept communion and close touch with Jerusalem. The Jew liked to make money out of the Gentile, and so he would go and live in the Gentile city, but it never seemed to strike him that the God of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 12:32-33

And I, if I be lifted out of (or, from ) the earth, will draw all (men) to myself. Now this he spake, signifying by what death he was about to die . ὑψωθῶ has been by Meyer, as well as many of the Fathers, referred to the Lord's resurrection and ascension. The ἐκ τῆς γῆς would certainly be in favor of it, and be a possible rendering if we hold (with Westcott and others) that resurrection and uplifting from the earth involve and presuppose a previous death, or that... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 12:28

Glorify thy name - The meaning of this expression in this connection is this: “I am willing to bear any trials; I will not shrink from any sufferings. Let thy name be honored. Let thy character, wisdom, goodness, and plans of mercy be manifested and promoted, whatever sufferings it may cost me.” Thus Jesus showed us that God’s glory is to be the great end of our conduct, and that we are to seek that, whatever sufferings it may cost us.I have both glorified it - The word “it” is not here in the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 12:29

The people - A part of the people.It thundered - The unexpected sound of the voice would confound and amaze them; and though there is no reason to doubt that the words were spoken distinctly Matthew 3:17, yet some of the people, either from amazement or envy, would suppose that this was a mere natural phenomenon.An angel spake - It was the opinion of many of the Jews that God did not speak to men except by the ministry of angels, Hebrews 2:2; “The word spoken by angels;” Galatians 3:19; “It was... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 12:30

Came not because of me - Not to strengthen or confirm me; not that I had any doubts about my course, or any apprehension that God would not approve me and glorify his name.For your sakes - To give you a striking and indubitable proof that I am the Messiah; that you may remember it when I am departed, and be yourselves comforted, supported, and saved. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 12:31

Now is the judgment of this world - Greek: “crisis.” This expression, doubtless, has reference to his approaching death, and whatever he means by judgment here relates to something that was to be accomplished by that death. It cannot mean that then was to be the time in which the world was to be finally judged, for he says that he did not come then to judge the world John 12:47; John 8:15, and he has clearly declared that there shall be a future day when he will judge all mankind. The meaning... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 12:32

Be lifted up - See John 3:14; John 8:28.Will draw - John 6:44. The same word is used in both places.All men - I will incline all kinds of men; or will make the way open by the cross, so that all men may come. I will provide a way which shall present a strong motive or inducement - the strongest that can be presented to all men to come to me. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 12:28-30

John 12:28-30 . Father, glorify thy name Whatever I suffer. For this may be considered as a further expression of his resignation, importing that he was willing to submit to whatever the Father should judge necessary for the manifestation of his perfections: as if he had said, Dispose of me and all my concerns in such a way as may most effectually promote thy glory. The answer, however, that was now given to this part of Christ’s prayer, rather suggests another meaning, namely, that he... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 12:31-33

John 12:31-33. Now is the judgment of this world Which I am going to conquer and condemn, that by my death my followers may both be taught and enabled to triumph over it, and those may be convinced of sin that believe not in me. Some interpreters render the clause, Now is this world come to its crisis: and others explain it of the redemption of the world, or its vindication from the bondage of Satan. “But this,” says Dr. Doddridge, “is so unusual a sense of the word, [ κρισις , judgment,... read more
