约翰福音 14:4-6 CUNPSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - John 14:4-11

Christ, having set the happiness of heaven before them as the end, here shows them himself as the way to it, and tells them that they were better acquainted both with the end they were to aim at and with the way they were to walk in than they thought they were: You know, that is, 1. ?You may know; it is none of the secret things which belong not to you, but one of the things revealed; you need not ascend into heaven, nor go down into the deep, for the word is nigh you (Rom. 10:6-8), level to... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - John 14:4-6

14:4-6 "And you know the way to where I go." Thomas said to him: "Lord, we do not know where you are going. How do we know the way?" Jesus said to him: "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Again and again Jesus had told his disciples where he was going, but somehow they had never understood. "Yet a little while I am with you," he said, "and then I go to him that sent me" ( John 7:33 ). He had told them that he was going to the Father who... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 14:4

And whither I go ye know ,.... They might have known, at least, whither he was going, since he had spoke of his Father's house, and of his going to prepare a place for them there, and doubtless had some knowledge thereof, though very confused and imperfect: and the way ye know : this also they might have known from some expressions of his, that the way to his Father's house lay through sufferings and death, in which way they also were to follow him to his kingdom and glory. Though these... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 14:5

Thomas saith unto him, Lord ,.... Who was one of his apostles, and here betrays his ignorance, as elsewhere his unbelief; and not only speaks for himself, but for the rest of the apostles, of whom he judged by himself; and who, it may be, might understand things better than himself, though their knowledge at present was but small: we know not whither thou goest ; though he had but just told them of his Father's house, and of his going to prepare a place for them: and how can we know... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 14:6

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way ,.... Our Lord takes the opportunity of this discourse about the place he was going to, and the way unto it, more fully to instruct his disciples concerning himself, saying, "I am the way"; Christ is not merely the way, as he goes before his people as an example; or merely as a prophet, pointing out unto them by his doctrine the way of salvation; but he is the way of salvation itself by his obedience and sacrifice; nor is there any other; he is the way of... read more

Lord, we know not - Thomas, perhaps, thought that our Lord only spoke of his going some distance from the place where he then was. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 14:6

I am the Way - That leads so the Father: - the Truth that teaches the knowledge of God, and directs in the way: - the Life that animates all those who seek and serve him, and which is to be enjoyed eternally at the end of the way. Christ is the Way: By his doctrine, John 6:68 . By his example, 1 Peter 2:21 . By his sacrifice, Hebrews 9:8 , Hebrews 9:9 . By his Spirit, John 16:13 . He is the Truth: In opposition to all false religions. To the Mosaic law, which was... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 14:4

Verse 4 4.And whither I go you know. As we need no ordinary fortitude, that we may patiently endure to be so long separated from Christ, he adds another confirmation, that the disciples know that his death is not a destruction, but a passage to the Father; and next, that they know the way which they must follow, that they may arrive at the participation of the same glory. Both clauses ought to be carefully observed. First, we must see Christ, by the eyes of faith, in the heavenly glory and a... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 14:5

Verse 5 5.Thomas saith to him. Though, at first sight, the reply of Thomas appears to contradict what Christ had said, yet he did not intend to give the lie to his Master. But it may be asked, In what sense does he deny what Christ asserted? I reply, the knowledge possessed by the saints is sometimes confused, because they do not understand the manner or the reason of those things which are certain, and which have been explained to them. For example, the Prophets foretold the calling of the... read more
