約翰福音 16:7 RCUVTS

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - John 16:1-33

Shall we turn to John's gospel, chapter 16.Now, these words in the sixteenth chapter have to be understood with the background as Jesus has been in the upper room with His disciples. He has told them as He had the Lord's supper with them that He would not drink of the fruit of the vine until He drank it anew in the kingdom. After supper, He has washed their feet, giving to them an example of what the ministry is all about; it's that of a servant. And then there in the upper room He speaks to... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - John 16:1-33

John 16:1 . These things have I spoken, that ye should not be offended, so as to stumble and shrink back from the cause in which you are engaged. Expulsion from the synagogue was to a jew next to death, being accounted an expulsion from the covenant of mercy, and from the paradise of God. John 16:6 . Because I have said these things, sorrow hath filled your heart. The disciples were so astounded at the extended view of their persecutions, and at the departure of their Lord, that they... read more

John 16:7It is expedient for you that I go awayThe absenteeism of Christ1.The words must have been very startling to the apostles. They had doubtless come to consider the personal presence of Christ indispensable. He was the principle of cohesion among them, and His departure would be the signal for the dissolution of the brotherhood. He, moreover, gave them what influence they possessed in the nation; for without Him they were but a band of ignorant fishermen. 2. Now if these words were true... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - John 16:7

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. Ver. 7. I will send him unto you ] This our Saviour often repeats, that they might once take notice of it, as an inestimable favour, that God should pour forth his Spirit upon all flesh, Joel 2:28 . What so precious as spirit? what so vile as flesh? It is received among the Turks, that when Christ said that though... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - John 16:7

7. I tell you the truth The solemnity of the affirmation arises from the fact that in their present state of mind the information was difficult to believe. Our Lord solemnly assures them that there is no contingency or mistake in the idea that his departure, however sorrowful, was necessary in itself, and best even for them. Expedient for you… go away This pregnant phrase, go away, included all the circumstances the cross, the atonement, the resurrection, and the ascension, with the... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - John 16:7-15

The struggle of the Spirit with the world, John 16:7-15. At once as a consolation and as a prophecy of the future dispensation, our Lord now declares that it is expedient FOR THEM, that he should depart. Why? Because the Christian dispensation is, according to God’s plan, to be, not the dispensation of Christ’s bodily presence, but the dispensation of the Spirit. Christ came and gave that dispensation its start; but the Spirit must give it its development, its maturity, its consummation,... read more
