約翰福音 16:7 RCUVTS

Wells of Living Water Commentary - John 16:1-22

The Holy Spirit Chapter John 16:1-22 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The sixteenth chapter of John contains a part of our Lord's last message before He went out to Gethsemane and on to the Cross. The disciples were deeply concerned because He was going away. They were filled with sorrow. For this cause our Lord spoke tenderly and with deep concern. In John 14:1-31 the Lord gave expressions of comfort. We have already studied this chapter, calling it the "Comfort Chapter." In chapter 15 Christ's message... read more

The Ministry of the Spirit John 14:26-30 ; John 16:7-13 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Christ came to His own, and His own received Him not. The Holy Spirit came to His own, seeking to bring every possible spiritual gift and blessing, but His own have received Him not. Many believers are seeking to paddle their own canoe, and to work out their own will, wholly forgetting the Spirit and His ministry. There is nothing that comes in the life of the believer, whether in the way of victory in his walk, power... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - John 16:7

BEFORE PENTECOST‘It I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you.’ John 16:7 The men who had spent three and a half years with Christ would have been left utterly desolate and comfortless unless enriched by the advent of the New Comforter. But the promise was fulfilled. Their loss was turned to gain, their sorrow to lasting joy. Yes, it was good for these disciples that Jesus left them. They were far better Christians after Pentecost than when... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 16:1-33

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 16:7

“Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is expedient for you that I go away. For if I do not go away, the Paraclete will not come to you. But if I go I will send him to you.” So now He will show them where He is going. He is going to the place from where He can send the Holy Spirit to them. And He points out that this means that, although it may not seem like it, His departure will be best possible thing for them. For until He has offered Himself for the sins of many (Mark 10:45) they cannot... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - John 16:1-33

John 16. There is no break between chs. 15 and 16 . Jesus has told them beforehand, so that His death and their suffering may not daunt their faith, as the Baptist was “ offended” by the course of the ministry, which did not correspond to his Messianic expectation. They must expect actual excommunication. Their execution will be thought an acceptable sacrifice to God ( cf. the Jewish comment on Numbers 25:13, “ He who sheds the blood of a transgressor should be thought of as if he had... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 16:7

He doth not say it was expedient for him, though this was truth; for his human nature was not till his ascension glorified, as afterward, John 17:5; but he saith it was expedient for them. The saints may desire a dissolution, but it is for their own advantage, Philippians 1:23. Christ desires it for their advantage; because the Holy Spirit could not come upon them (as in the days of Pentecost) until he by his death had made reconciliation for iniquity; and God had so ordered the counsels of... read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - John 16:1-15

EXPLANATORY AND CRITICAL NOTESChap. John 15:27. The Spirit does not teach historical facts, but reveals their true meaning. Hence the apostolic testimony and the testimony of the Spirit form but a single act, in which each contributes a different element—the one the historic narrative, the other the internal evidence and the victorious power. This relation is reproduced in our day in all living preaching derived from Holy Scripture. St. Peter equally distinguishes the two kinds of testimony... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - John 16:7

John 16:7 Christ's Going Away our Gain The departure of our Lord was the disciples' gain, and it is ours. It is the gain of His whole Church on earth. Let us see how this can be. I. And first, because by His departure His local presence was changed into an universal presence. He had dwelt among them as man, under the limitations of our humanity; in Galilee and Jerusalem, on the mountain and in the upper chamber, they had known Him according to the measures and laws of our nature. He had thereby... read more
