John 14:29 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - John 14:28-31

Christ here gives his disciples another reason why their hearts should not be troubled for his going away; and that is, because his heart was not. And here he tells them what it was that enabled him to endure the cross and despise the shame, that they might look unto him, and run with patience. He comforted himself, I. That, though he went away, he should come again: ?You have heard how I have said, and now I say it again, I go away, and come again.? Note, What we have heard of the doctrine of... read more

14:25-31 "I have spoken these things to you while to you while I am still with you. The Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I have said. I am leaving you peace: I am giving you my peace. I do not give it to you as the world gives peace. Let not your heart be distressed or fear-stricken. You have heard that I said to you: 'I am going away and I am coming to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad that I am... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 14:29

And now I have told you before it came to pass ,.... This is a strong proof of his true and proper deity, for none but the omniscient God can tell of things before they come to pass; this is peculiar to him, and distinguishes him from the gods of the Gentiles; see Isaiah 41:22 ; that when it is come to pass, ye might believe : that is, that when he was removed from them, and gone to his Father, they might then believe that he was truly God, the Son of God, the promised Messiah; and... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 14:29

I have told you before it come to pass - Lest my death should be a stumbling-block to you, I have spoken of it beforehand, and showed you the necessity of it, that when it happens ye may believe, that as I could predict it so clearly, and so circumstantially, so all the good which I have promised shall be the result may be confidently expected by you; and that your sorrow, if not entirely removed, may at least be much mitigated. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 14:29

Verse 29 29.And I have told you now. It was proper that the disciples should be frequently admonished on this point; for it was a secret far exceeding all human capacity. He testifies that he foretells what shall happen, that, when it has happened, they may believe; for it was a useful confirmation of their faith when they brought to recollection the predictions of Christ, and saw accomplished before their eyes what they had formerly heard from his mouth. Yet it appears to be a sort of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:29

And now I have said it to you before it come to pass —I have told you of my departure and what is involved in it— that when it is come to pass, ye may believe . Christ often appeals to the effect which the fulfillment of his own predictions will produce in the minds of his disciples ( John 1:51 ; John 13:19 ). They will, when the series of events will unroll themselves, believe that he has gone to the Father, to do all he said he would do, to be all he said he was. This means... read more

Anticipation. Before giving the signal for removing, Jesus in spirit glances forward. What does he see in the immediate future? I. THE FUTURE SHALL VERIFY HIS WORDS , AND SO STRENGTHEN HIS DISCIPLES ' FAITH . He had explicitly foretold his death, his resurrection and ascension, and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. They did not disbelieve him, but they were slow to grasp the purport of his words. Fulfillment should render his predictions plain, and should... read more
