ヨハネによる福音書 14:7-8 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 14:8

ON KNOWING GOD‘Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.’ John 14:8 Was it well or ill spoken, this word of St. Philip? It evidently came from his heart. It was no captious objection. Shall we then commend or blame him for his inquiry? We must blame him for the sad ignorance betrayed. But we commend him for the splendid faith evinced. ‘And it sufficeth us,’ he says in the midst of his heaviness of heart. I. Faith in God was the sheet-anchor of his soul.—But his knowledge of God was so... 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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 14:4-11

Their Certainty For The Future Lies In Their Knowing Him As The One Who Is The Way To The Father And Is The One Who Fully Reveals the Father (John 14:4-11 ). Having made clear their final destiny Jesus now ensures that they recognise that their way of entry to the Father is through response to Him as the One Who alone truly reveals the Father in all His fullness. This is so to such an extent that to have seen Him is to have seen the Father. As John says in the Prologue, ‘No man has seen God... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 14:7

“If you had fully known me you would have known my Father as well. And from now on you do know him and have seen him.” Jesus now confirms His uniqueness. The question is, have they fully known Him? Let them now recognise Who He really is. He is the One Who has fully revealed the Father in such a way that to have known Him is to have fully known the Father. That is why John, in amazed wonder when enlightenment had fully come, could say, ‘We beheld his glory, the glory as of the only Son of the... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 14:8

‘Philip says to him, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be sufficient for us”.’ As yet they were not fully enlightened and could not grasp this. Philip, for example, had not yet had time to contemplate the wonder of Christ, and he therefore did not quite appreciate what Jesus meant by their having seen the Father in Him. Like some today he thought that Jesus was simply referring to a kind of general ‘seeing of the Father’ by analogy. But he wanted something more. He wanted actually to see... 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

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 14:7

If ye had known me as you ought to have known me, as I am indeed the eternal Son of God, sent by my Father into the world, you should have known my Father, with whom I am equal, and one and the same God, so as in knowing one of us, you must have known both: but you stick in my outward form and appearance, while I appear to you in the form of a man; and you stick in your prejudices sucked in from the notion you have of the Messiah, expecting I know not what temporal prince: these things blind... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 14:8

Still Philip understandeth not our Saviour, and further discovereth a very gross conception of the Divine Being, as if it could be seen with mortal eyes; whereas God had told Moses, Exodus 33:20, Thou canst not see my face; for there shall no man see me, and live. It is a hard thing to determine what degrees of ignorance are consistent or inconsistent with saving grace in souls; the resolution of which doth much depend upon those degrees of revelation and means of knowledge which men have. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - John 14:1-7

EXPLANATORY AND CRITICAL NOTESJohn 14:1. The discourse begun at John 13:31 is here continued. Here our Lord not merely answers fully Peter’s question, “Whither goest Thou?” (John 13:36), but speaks much needed words of comfort. Μὴ ταρασσέθω., “Let not your heart be troubled,” etc., should be compared with Ἰησοῦς ἐταράχθη τῷ πνεύματι of John 13:21. He was troubled that they might have peace. “From this point onwards, the form of instruction properly so called prevails; Jesus transports Himself... read more
