Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 16:14

Shall glorify me - Shall honor me. The nature of his influence shall be such as to exalt my character and work in view of the mind.Shall receive of mine - Literally, “shall take of or from me.” He shall receive his commission and instructions as an ambassador from me, to do my will and complete my work.Shall show it - Shall announce or communicate it to you. This is always the work of the Spirit. All serious impressions produced by him lead to the Lord Jesus 1 Corinthians 12:3, and by this we... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 16:12-15

John 16:12-15. I have yet many things to say unto you There are many other things concerning which I must give you information. But ye cannot bear them now But the weakness of your understanding, your desire and expectation of my erecting a temporal kingdom, your prejudices in favour of your own nation and law, and your aversion to the Gentiles, are so great, that you cannot yet bear the discovery. For which reason I judge it more prudent to be silent for the present. The things which our... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 16:1-15

146. Work of the Holy Spirit (John 16:1-15)As long as Jesus had been with his disciples, the full force of people’s opposition had been directed at him, not at them. Now that he was about to leave them, he warned them that this hatred would be turned on them (John 16:1-4). However, because of their grief concerning his coming departure, they scarcely understood his warning. Nor could they see the joy that lay before him in being reunited with his Father (John 16:5-6).When Jesus departed, the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 16:14

He shall glorify me: for he shall take of mine, and shall declare it unto you. All things whatsoever the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he taketh of mine, and shall declare it unto you.Regarding the Trinitarian nature of this passage, Dummelow said:This is one of the leading Trinitarian passages in the New Testament. In it (1) the three persons are clearly distinguished; (2) their relative subordination is clearly taught, the Father giving his all to the Son, and the Son... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 16:14

14. He shall glorify me; for he shall receive of mine and show it unto you—Thus the whole design of the Spirit's office is to glorify Christ—not in His own Person, for this was done by the Father when He exalted Him to His own right hand—but in the view and estimation of men. For this purpose He was to "receive of Christ"—all the truth relating to Christ—"and show it unto them," or make them to discern it in its own light. The subjective nature of the Spirit's teaching—the discovery to the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 16:1-24

7. The clarification of the future 16:1-24Jesus proceeded to review things that He had just told His disciples, but He now gave them more information. Particularly the ministry of the Holy Spirit is the subject of this section of the discourse, though Jesus also clarified other matters about which He had spoken, namely: the new relations arising from His departure.Jesus’ method of teaching in the Upper Room Discourse was not to give a thorough explanation of one subject, then a thorough... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 16:14-15

The Spirit would glorify the Son by expounding Him, as the Son had glorified the Father by expounding Him. The Spirit would really be taking what the Father had given the Son and explaining its significance to the disciples, unpacking it. The Eleven are particularly in view. They were the individuals who were presently unable to understand further revelations, and they had been with Jesus since the beginning of His ministry (John 16:12; cf. John 14:26; John 15:27)."The Spirit worked in the... read more

Darby's Synopsis of the New Testament - John 16:14
