John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - John 16:1-33

The Resurrection and Ascension of Christ Will Prove the Disciples’ Comfort in Time of Persecution1-6. The Persecution of the Apostles predicted. This section repeats many of the ideas of the previous chapter (see John 15:18-24). The reason of the anticipated persecution is ’because they (the persecutors) have not known the Father nor Me’ (John 16:3); i.e. because they have mistaken the character of the service which the Father requires of them. They think that He requires strict observance of... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - John 16:13

(13) Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come.—Comp. Note on John 14:17.He will guide you into all truth.—Better, . . . into all the truth. The words do not mean that the Holy Spirit will fully guide them into truth, but that He will be their guide into the fulness of truth. The word rendered “guide,” occurs again in Matthew 15:14; Luke 6:39; Revelation 7:17; and metaphorically, as here, in Acts 8:31. A comparison of these passages will show that its meaning is “to point out the way,” “to... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - John 16:14

(14) He shall glorify me.—The pronoun is here full of emphasis. The thought is that the future guidance of the Spirit promised in John 16:13, will be the revelation of the many things of Christ Himself which they cannot bear now (John 16:12).For he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.—Better, as in John 16:13, . . . . announce it unto you. This is the test of the Spirit, “Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - John 16:15

(15) All things that the Father hath are mine.—He has told them that the Spirit’s work is to glorify Him, to receive of His, and announce to the world. The ground of this saying is in the fact that the Son is the Revealer of the Father, and that the fulness of the truth (John 16:13) is given unto Him. The words appear from the context not to express the spiritual relation of the Son to the Father, but the fulness of the communication to Him in His human nature of the divine truth which He... read more

Why Christ Must Depart John 16:7 I. The first thing to strike one is the way Jesus took to break the news. It was characteristic. His sayings and doings always came about in the most natural way. Even His profoundest statements of doctrine were invariably apropos of some often trivial circumstance happening in the day's round. So now He did not suddenly deliver Himself of the doctrine of the Ascension. It leaked out, as it were, in the ordinary course of things. II. Notice His reasons for... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - John 16:1-15

7XIV. THE SPIRIT CHRIST’S WITNESS."If the world hateth you, ye know that it hath hated Me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, A servant is not greater than his lord. If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for... read more

CHAPTER 16 1. Persecutions Predicted. (John 16:1-6 .) 2. The Comforter and His Demonstration. (John 16:7-15 .) 3. Sorrow and joy. (John 16:16-22 .) 4. The Father Himself Loveth You. (John 16:23-27 .) 5. His Final Word before His Prayer. (John 16:28-33 .) Again He announced coming persecutions. The world is the same today as then, and before this age ends these predictions of our Lord will be again fulfilled, during the great tribulation. The coming of the Comforter is once more announced by... read more

Geneva Study Bible - John 16:14

16:14 {5} He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew [it] unto you.(5) The Holy Spirit brings no new doctrine, but teaches that which was uttered by Christ’s own mouth, and imprints it in our minds. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - John 16:1-33

All that the Lord spoke on that memorable night was intended for the preparation of His disciples for what would face them in view of His death, resurrection and return to the glory. There would be stern tests for them such as they had not yet seen, and He prepares them that they should not be stumbled and faint under the trial. They would be put out of the synagogues (v.2), just as had the man recovered from blindness (John 9:34), a dreadful experience for a Jew, for this meant rejection by... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - John 16:1-33

CENTRAL TEACHING CONTINUED The fundamental subject of this discourse is that of the relation of believers to Jesus Christ in respect to practical life under the coming dispensation: 1. The relation of members who share in His life and thereby bring forth fruit unto God (John 15:1-8 ). 2. The relation of friends who share in His love and maintain its continuance and manifest its effect by love to each other (John 15:9-17 ). 3. The relation of followers who share in His work toward the world,... read more
