John 14:30

I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world cometh: and he hath nothing in me; but that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave me commandment, even so do I. Arise, let us go hence.

The prince of the world ... is another reference to Satan as in John 12:31.

Hath nothing in me ... There is a hint here that Satan might have expected to have something in Christ; but the Saviour calmly announced that he would do what the Father had commanded, that is, die on the cross; and how, it may be wondered, had Satan hoped to thwart that? Satan had already exhausted every resource in vain efforts to kill Jesus; but with the announcement that Jesus would lay down his life of his own accord (John 10:17,18), and that it was impossible for any man to take his life away from him, Satan changed his strategy, thereafter exhausting every satanic resource in making Jesus' death such a shameful, repugnant, and humiliating thing, that the Lord might finally abort the mission of redemption by refusing to die such a repulsive death for such a people. That such a temptation came to Jesus is certain from Matthew 26:53. Jesus here announced that Satan's strategy had failed. The price of human redemption would be paid by the Saviour. For extended discussion of Satan's strategy in these tremendous events, see my Commentary on Matthew, Matthew 26:39, and my Commentary on Romans, p 118.

Arise and let us go hence ... Some believe that Jesus and his disciples immediately rose up and left the scene of the last supper; but Hendriksen believed it likely that the next three chapters, which might easily have been spoken in ten or fifteen minutes, were uttered while they were standing and prior to leaving. As he stated it:

This context implies there are still some things Jesus wished to say to his disciples (John 14:30) ... How often it happens even among us Westerners that between exhortation, "Now, let us be going," and the actual departure there is a period of ten minutes? ... Speaking calmly and deliberately, with no attempt to rush himself, Jesus might have uttered the contents of John 15 through John 17 within a period of TEN MINUTES. When a company has been together several hours, what are ten minutes? ... Accordingly, we shall proceed upon the assumption that the contents of John 14-17 comprise a unit, and that all of this was spoken that night in the upper room.[21]
