The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:13

The great word that follows may hang closely on the "because" of John 14:12 . Whether that be so or not, the power of their hands to perform these greater works is in answer to prayer presented to himself, and their success is nothing less than his own activity. And whatsoever ye ask in my Name, that will I do (see Luther). Here for the first time our Lord uses these words. Frequently ( John 5:43 ; John 10:25 ) he had spoken of the Father ' s Name , and in Matthew 18:20 εἰς... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:13-14

Christian prayer. Great works involve great gifts. Our Lord, having assured his disciples that in the coming dispensation they should perform marvelous achievements, transcending even his own deeds of might and grace, now proceeds to explain how they shall be qualified for service so arduous and effective. Prayer shall be offered, and prayer altogether special and Christian; and in answer to such prayer the virtue and efficiency needed shall be bestowed. I. THE PRAYER WHICH ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:13-14

Asking in the Name of Jesus. I. CHANGED METHODS OF COMMUNICATION . The prayers of the disciples were probably very shallow and vitiated expressions of feeling during the days when they knew Jesus according to the flesh. We know something of their misapprehensions and self-regarding ways—and how could these be kept out of their prayers? For a while Jesus came between them and God; as he himself suggested, he was a stumbling-block. But the happy day was coming when the disciples... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:14

If ye shall ask me £ anything in my Name , etc., is, omitting the ἵνα clause of the former utterance, a solemn repetition of the promise. The only condition being "in my Name." "Our Lord Christ foresaw that this article would go hard with human reason, and that it would be much assailed by the devil." "What ye ask," says he, " I will do . I am God, who may do and give all things." The peculiarity of the R.T. lays, indeed, special emphasis on Christ's own power and willingness to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:15

If ye love me, keep £ my commandments . This great saying is enlarged on in the subsequent section—the relation of love to obedience, obedience producing love, and love suggesting obedience and supplying it with motive. τὰς ἐντολὰς τὰς ἐμάς , "the commandments which are peculiarly mine" (see Westcott on John 15:9 ), "as either adopted and reuttered by me , or as originating in my new relation to you." "Guard them as a sacred deposit, obey them as the only reasonable... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:15

Love, the Christian motive to obedience. In these simple words our Lord revealed the great principle which was to be the life and salvation of the world. That love to him, in response to his love to them, was to be the motive by which their future conduct was to be inspired and governed; such was the revelation the Divine Jesus made to his most intimate and sympathetic friends. And however indistinctly they might apprehend the importance of this principle, these disciples, by acting upon... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:15-17

Love and obedience. Notice— I. OBEDIENCE TO CHRIST AS THE NATURAL CONSEQUENCE OF LOVE TO HIM . "If ye love me," etc. Where there is love to Christ, there is scarcely any need of a command to obey him; but it will follow as the stream from the fountain, or light and heat from the sun. Where there is love to Christ: 1. There is a recognition of his Divine authority . Where there is no authority, there is neither right nor power to command. There may be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:16

"Another Comforter." This designation of the Holy Spirit brings forward into prominence his work on earth and his relation to men. And this is the aspect in which the Spirit of God has most interest for us. The theologian properly studies the Third Person of the Trinity in relation to the Father and the Son. But to the Christian desirous of appropriating the blessings revealed by religion, there is great encouragement in this designation, " another Comforter." I. THE PROMISE IS ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:16-17

Consequent on this obedient love, conditioned by it, is the Lord's assurance: And I will ask the Father — ἐρωτᾷν is used of an asking which is based on close and intimate fellowship; it is the word which implies the presentation of wish or a desire from an equal to an equal, while αἰτεῖν represents the prayer or seeking which rises from an inferior to a superior (see note, John 16:26 , and other usage of the same words, John 17:9 , John 17:15 , John 17:20 )— and he will... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:16-18

"Another Comforter." I. AS ANSWER TO A REQUEST OF JESUS . The manifestation of the Holy Spirit is a conditional thing. Jesus must ask the Father for it; and he can only ask the Father when he perceives the disciples to be going in the way of his directions. If only the disciples will do what Jesus wants them to do, ha will secure for them the indispensable help. They must not be under the delusion that the might of the Holy Spirit will be given to aid them in their own plans... read more
