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

DISCOURSE: 1685CHRIST ONE WITH THE FATHERJohn 14:8-11. Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? He that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Believe me... 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

The Biblical Illustrator - John 14:8-11

John 14:8-11Philip saith unto Him, Lord, show us the Father and it sufficeth usMan’s cry and Christ’s responseI.THE SPIRITUAL CRY OF MANKIND. Philip represents all men in their deepest spiritual experiences. What is this but the cry of spiritual orphans for a lost Father. “Oh, that I knew where I might find Him.” The cry implies an underlying belief 1. In the existence of a great Father. In the human heart (1) there is no atheism; that is a phantom of the brain. The idea of God is at the root... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - John 14:7

7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Ver. 7. And from henceforth ye know him ] Or else the more shame for you, having had me (his express image) so long among you. Christians have a privilege above the Church of the Old Testament. The sea about the altar was brazen,1 Kings 7:23; 1 Kings 7:23 , and what eyes could pierce through it? Now, our sea about the throne is glassy, Revelation 4:6 , like the crystal, clearly... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - John 14:8

8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Ver. 8. Lord, show us the Father ] They would have seen the Father face to face with their bodily eyes, as they saw the Son. But that no man can do and live,Exodus 33:20; Exodus 33:20 . We cannot see the sun in rota, in its orbit, as the schools speak, in the circle wherein it runs, but only in the beams. So neither can we see God in his essence; in his Son we may, who is the resplendence of his Father’s glory,... read more
