John 14:24 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - John 14:18-24

When friends are parting, it is a common request they make to each other, ?Pray let us hear from you as often as you can:? this Christ engaged to his disciples, that out of sight they should not be out of mind. I. He promises that he would continue his care of them (John 14:18): ?I will not leave you orphans, or fatherless; for, though I leave you, yet I leave you this comfort, I will come to you.? His departure from them was that which grieved them; but it was not so bad as they apprehended,... read more

14:18-24 "I will not leave you forlorn. I am coming to you. In a little while the world will no longer see me; but you will see me because I will be alive and you too will be alive. In that day you will know that I am in the Father, and that you are in me, even as I am in you. It is he who grasps my commandments and keeps them who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and reveal myself to him." Judas, not Iscariot, said to him: "Why has it happened that you... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 14:24

He that loveth me not, keepeth not my sayings ,.... These words may have respect both to external professors of religion, who being destitute of true love to Christ, though they outwardly observe his ordinances and commands; yet inasmuch as this does not spring from a principle of love to him, and is done only to be seen of men, or to obtain life for themselves, may be said, not to keep his words or commands, because they do not keep them aright; and to the profane world, who, as they have... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 14:24

Verse 24 24.He who loveth, me but keepeth not my words. As believers are mixed with unbelievers in the world, and as they must be agitated by various storms, as in a troubled sea, Christ again confirms them by this admonition, that they may not be drawn away by bad examples. As if he had said, “Do not look upon the world so as to depend on it; for there will always be some who despise me and my doctrine; but as for you, preserve constantly to the end the grace which you have once received.” Yet... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:22-24

What makes the true manifestation possible. I. THE QUESTION OF JUDAS . This question shows how much the disciples had yet to learn; for without doubt all shared the perplexity of the one. How one fundamental error stops a true understanding of all the words of Jesus! In a sense, Jesus had been seen of all men who had eyes to see, but what they had seen had just been the human form. That Jesus should have kingly honor and kingly power they had not discerned. But the disciples seem... read more
