Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 12:26

26. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: If any man serve me, him will my Father honour—Jesus here claims the same absolute subjection to Himself, as the law of men's exaltation to honor, as He yielded to the Father. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 12:27

27, 28. Now is my soul troubled—He means at the prospect of His death, just alluded to. Strange view of the Cross this, immediately after representing it as the hour of His glory! (John 12:23). But the two views naturally meet, and blend into one. It was the Greeks, one might say, that troubled Him. Ah! they shall see Jesus, but to Him it shall be a costly sight. and what shall I say?—He is in a strait betwixt two. The death of the cross was, and could not but be, appalling to His spirit. But... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 12:28

28. Father, glorify thy name—by a present testimony. I have both glorified it—referring specially to the voice from heaven at His baptism, and again at His transfiguration. and will glorify it again—that is, in the yet future scenes of His still deeper necessity; although this promise was a present and sublime testimony, which would irradiate the clouded spirit of the Son of man. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 12:30

30. Jesus . . . said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes—that is, probably, to correct the unfavorable impressions which His momentary agitation and mysterious prayer for deliverance may have produced on the by-standers. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 12:31

31. Now is the judgment of this world—the world that "crucified the Lord of glory" (1 Corinthians 2:8), considered as a vast and complicated kingdom of Satan, breathing his spirit, doing his work, and involved in his doom, which Christ's death by its hands irrevocably sealed. now shall the prince of this world be cast out—How differently is that fast-approaching "hour" regarded in the kingdoms of darkness and of light! "The hour of relief; from the dread Troubler of our peace—how near it is!... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 12:32

32. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me—The "I" here is emphatic—I, taking the place of the world's ejected prince. "If lifted up," means not only after that I have been lifted up, but, through the virtue of that uplifting. And truly, the death of the Cross, in all its significance, revealed in the light, and borne in upon the heart, by the power of the Holy Ghost, possesses an attraction over the wide world—to civilized and savage, learned and illiterate,... read more

33. This he said, signifying what death he should die—that is, "by being lifted up from the earth" on "the accursed tree" (John 3:14; John 8:28). read more

II. JESUS’ PUBLIC MINISTRY 1:19-12:50The first part of the body of John’s Gospel records Jesus’ public ministry to the multitudes in Palestine, who were primarily Jewish. Some writers have called this section of the Gospel "the book of signs" because it features seven miracles that signify various things about Jesus."Signs are miraculous works performed or mentioned to illustrate spiritual principles." [Note: Tenney, "The Symphonic . . .," p. 119. See also idem, "Topics from the Gospel of... read more
