ヨハネによる福音書 14:12 JC

Wells of Living Water Commentary - John 14:1-27

The Comfort Chapter John 14:1-27 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We remember the statement, "Never man spake like this Man." These words were true from many viewpoints. However, of all the wonderful things which our Lord said, there were no words which could have surpassed the statements contained in the 14th chapter of John. Chapters 15 and 16 complete the message, and present to us the very heart-throbs of the Son of God as He faced the Cross. Following the message spoken to His disciples is the prayer... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - John 14:12

GREATER WORKS‘Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto My Father.’ John 14:12 It is a mysterious saying; what did our Lord mean by it? I. What were the ‘greater works’?—On the first reading this saying of our Lord’s seems to apply to His miracles and to the miracles which His followers should work in His Name, and I suppose it was inevitable that those who first heard the saying... read more

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

Jesus’ Final Words To His Apostles (John 13:31 to John 17:26 ). This next section, from John 13:31 to John 17:26, can be seen as the equivalent of the dying words of Jesus. Words spoken on approaching death, and especially on a deathbed, were considered to be particularly potent. There are numerous examples of this in Scripture, like the blessings of Jacob to his sons in Genesis 47:29 to Genesis 49:33, Moses’ farewell words in Deuteronomy 33:0, the farewell of Joshua to the nation of Israel... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 14:12-14

“Emphatically I tell you, he of you who goes on believing on me, the works that I do he will do as well, and he will do greater things than these because I go to the Father. And whatever you ask in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, that I will do.” In the light of what was to happen that night Jesus promised that if they would have continual faith in Him, they would accomplish works like those that He had accomplished,... read more

2). The Demands that He Makes and the Provision That He Is Making For Their Fulfilment (John 14:12-26 ). Jesus now stresses what He is expecting from His disciples and assures them that full provision has been made for their future. As His ambassadors they can call on His Name for anything that they will require (John 14:12-14), and as those who speak on His behalf they will be given the Spirit of Truth Who will be continually with them (John 14:16-17). Indeed let them recognise that in the... read more

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

John 14:1-Numbers : takes up the thoughts of the previous paragraph, not of the last verse. The thoughts of separation and treachery had led to perplexity, if not despair. Jesus bids them trust God and Himself. There is plenty of room in His Father’ s house ( cf. Genesis 24:23; Genesis 24:25). John 14:2 b may be interpreted in three ways: ( a) Even if not He would have found room for them. “ To you I would have said I go to prepare a place” : this suits the context, but is forced, ( b) “... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 14:12

He that believeth on me; not every individual soul that believeth on me; but some of those, particularly you that are my apostles, and shall be filled with the Holy Ghost in the days of Pentecost; you shall preach the gospel, and work miracles for the confirmation of the truth of the doctrine of it. Yea, and you shall do greater works than I have done: not more or greater miracles: the truth of that may be justly questioned; for what miracle was ever done by the apostles greater than that of... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - John 14:8-14

EXPLANATORY AND CRITICAL NOTESJohn 14:8-21. The request of Philip and the response of Jesus.—Philip, catching at the word ἑωράκατε (seen), misapprehended its meaning, and thought of some theophany, some manifestation of the glory of God. This would suffice them, would remove their anxiety.John 14:9. The Lord’s answer is that He is the revelation of the Father, in Him alone is the Father revealed. There is sadness in the words in which He recalls the fact that Philip had been a disciple almost... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - John 14:1-31

Chapter 14Jesus said,Let not your heart be troubled ( John 14:1 ):Now, they were troubled because He had been saying these things. "I'm going to go away; where I go you cannot come." He's been talking about His death; He's been talking about His betrayal. He's been saying things that are very troubling to them. And yet, He said unto them, "Let not your heart be troubled." The cure for it is,believe in God, and believe in me ( John 14:1 )."Ye believe in God..." and that is either a question or... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - John 14:1-31

John 14:1-4 . Let not your heart be troubled. Our Saviour having denounced Judas as a traitor, and plainly spoken of his own departure out of the world, left no jewish hope of a temporal kingdom; sorrow therefore filled their hearts. But the worst was not disclosed, the crucifixion of their Lord and Master. Sweet was that voice, Let not your hearts be troubled. He bids them be covered with the shield of faith; ye believe in God, believe also in me. Here we are taught, that God is the... read more
