The Pulpit Commentary - John 21:19

This he said , adds the evangelist, signifying by what manner of death, not necessarily crucifixion (Godet), but that violent and martyr-death to which the prince of the apostles was called. How many anticipations, partial beginnings, of the final scene must Peter have passed through before, in utter human helplessness, but in Divine, supernatural strength, he stretched out his hands, allowed another to gird him, prepare him for the day's work, and carry him whither all his nature would... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 21:19

God glorified in death. There is something startling in this language of our Lord. God is the Giver of life; and death, according to the scriptural teaching, comes by sin. In life God is glorified. Yet, as Christianity transmutes dross into gold, it is credible that even death may tend to the Divine glory. In the case of Christians we can indeed see how this should be so. I. THE CHRISTIAN , IN ORDER TO GLORIFY GOD IN DEATH , MUST FIRST GLORIFY HIM IN LIFE ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 21:20

Having turned himself round, instead of keeping every glance for his Lord, Peter seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following ( ἀκολουθοῦντα ), obeying the command without offering one suggestion. The writer adds, by way of further identification, he who also leaned back at the supper, upon his breast, and said, Who is he that betrayeth thee? (see notes on John 13:23 ). The note is here introduced to show the close connection of Peter and the beloved disciple. It was Simon Peter... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 21:20-23

The mystery of John's future. The Apostle Peter began to follow Jesus as he went forth, and, turning round, saw John following. He is anxious to know the future destiny of his fellow-disciple. I. PETER 'S QUESTION CONCERNING JOHN . "Lord, and what shall this man do?" or, literally, "Lord, and this man! what?" 1. Consider the motive of this question. (a) They were two apostles most intimately linked together in the associations of our Lord's ministry. They were two of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 21:21-22

Peter then, £ seeing this man, saith to Jesus, Lord, and this man, what? What is the duty, place, fate, or honor of this man? Paulus and Tholuck suggest in the words the inquiry, "May not this man come now and hear our intercourse, share in my travail and the like?" Meyer supposes it to be dictated by a certain jealousy or curiosity, a consciousness of contrast between his own impetuosity and the beloved disciple's quietude and self-possession. Clearly the inquiry was not altogether... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 21:21-22

Curiosity rebuked. Peter and John were the two among the twelve who were nearest to Christ, and they were peculiarly intimate in their friendship and congenial in their disposition. It was very natural that, when the risen Jesus had uttered so explicit a prediction concerning the future of the apostle—viz., that he should live to old age, and then should glorify God by enduring a martyr's death by crucifixion—a general desire should be aroused in the breasts of the disciples to know... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 21:23

We need not be surprised that the sublime meaning of these words, "Wait while I am ever coming to him," should have been misunderstood. Therefore this word went forth to the brethren. The designation, "brethren," only occurs in John 20:17 and Luke 22:32 . The more familiar names of "disciples" and "children," "servants" and "apostles," are used in the Gospels. The Acts and Epistles introduce a new group of titles, e.g. "believers" as well as "brethren," "saints" as well as "disciples,"... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 21:23

The untrustworthiness of tradition. Tradition is the handing down from one person to another of what is not committed to writing. It is customary in those primitive societies where writing is unknown. It is practiced also in communities more advanced in civilization, when there is some special reason why it should be preferred to documentary preservation and transmission. That there was traditional teaching concerning our Lord's ministry is undoubted; and it has been disputed to what... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 21:24

This is the disciple who testifieth concerning these things —whether those narrated in the twenty-first chapter or in the entire Gospel. He is still testifying. He has not yet departed. He still proclaims his gospel of the love of God, his memories of "the Word made flesh," of "the Light of the world," his doctrine of the "eternal life which was with the Father, and has been manifested unto us." And wrote these things —compare "these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full" ( ... read more
