Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - John 14:1-31

Chapter 14Jesus said,Let not your heart be troubled ( John 14:1 ):Now, they were troubled because He had been saying these things. "I'm going to go away; where I go you cannot come." He's been talking about His death; He's been talking about His betrayal. He's been saying things that are very troubling to them. And yet, He said unto them, "Let not your heart be troubled." The cure for it is,believe in God, and believe in me ( John 14:1 )."Ye believe in God..." and that is either a question or... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - John 14:1-31

John 14:1-4 . Let not your heart be troubled. Our Saviour having denounced Judas as a traitor, and plainly spoken of his own departure out of the world, left no jewish hope of a temporal kingdom; sorrow therefore filled their hearts. But the worst was not disclosed, the crucifixion of their Lord and Master. Sweet was that voice, Let not your hearts be troubled. He bids them be covered with the shield of faith; ye believe in God, believe also in me. Here we are taught, that God is the... read more

John 14:8-11Philip saith unto Him, Lord, show us the Father and it sufficeth usMan’s cry and Christ’s responseI.THE SPIRITUAL CRY OF MANKIND. Philip represents all men in their deepest spiritual experiences. What is this but the cry of spiritual orphans for a lost Father. “Oh, that I knew where I might find Him.” The cry implies an underlying belief 1. In the existence of a great Father. In the human heart (1) there is no atheism; that is a phantom of the brain. The idea of God is at the root... read more

John 14:11Believe Me … for the very works’ sakeThe miraclesI.SHOULD WE BELIEVE THE MIRACLES? 1. Are miracles possible? Hume, Spinosa, and others say, “No: reason pronounces them impossible.” But whose reason? Theirs? Then that contradicts the all but universal reason, which affirms that with God all things are possible. 2. Are miracles improbable and incredible? Yes, say the same authorities. But did they live when they are alleged to have been performed? One ground of disbelief is, that it is... read more

John 14:12-14He that believeth on Me the works that I do shall he do also.The activity of the glorified ChristI. ITS REALITY AND CERTAINTY. Verses 13, 14 show that Christ regarded Himself as the worker and His followers only as His agents. II. ITS ORGAN AND INSTRUMENT. Our Saviour’s language 1. Does not mean that He will work through no other way than the collective Church, which is His body, and the believer who is a member of it; because in point of fact He does, as the Governor of the... read more

John 14:13-14Whatsoever ye shall ask in My name that will I doPraying in the name of ChristI.WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? 1. To obtain anything in the name of another supposes that your own name is an insufficient warrant. In the negotiation by which you secure it, your own personality is lost altogether. Thus an ambassador personifies the country he represents; he has no personal recognition when he sits in the councils of foreign potentates. So in familiar life we invest a subordinate agent with our... read more

John 14:16I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another ComforterThe praying Christ, the giving Father, and the abiding SpiritThe “and” shows us that these words are a consequence of some preceding steps.The ladder that has its summit in heaven has for its rungs, first, “believe”; second, “love”; third, “obey.” And thus the context carries us from the very basis of the Christian life up into its highest reward. And there is another very striking link. There are, if I may so say, two... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - John 14:7

7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Ver. 7. And from henceforth ye know him ] Or else the more shame for you, having had me (his express image) so long among you. Christians have a privilege above the Church of the Old Testament. The sea about the altar was brazen,1 Kings 7:23; 1 Kings 7:23 , and what eyes could pierce through it? Now, our sea about the throne is glassy, Revelation 4:6 , like the crystal, clearly... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - John 14:8

8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Ver. 8. Lord, show us the Father ] They would have seen the Father face to face with their bodily eyes, as they saw the Son. But that no man can do and live,Exodus 33:20; Exodus 33:20 . We cannot see the sun in rota, in its orbit, as the schools speak, in the circle wherein it runs, but only in the beams. So neither can we see God in his essence; in his Son we may, who is the resplendence of his Father’s glory,... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - John 14:9

9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then , Shew us the Father? Ver. 9. Have I been so long, &c. ] May not Christ justly shame and shent us all for knowing no more of him all this while? Ignorance under means of knowledge is a blushful sin, 1 Corinthians 15:34 . read more
