Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 14:25

These things have I spoken unto you, while yet abiding with you.Recognizing the limitations of disciples like Thaddeus, the Lord again returned to his promise of the Holy Spirit, stressing the fact that the Spirit would bring to their "remembrance" all of those things they were finding it so difficult to understand. Thus there is an imperative connection between this second of the Paraclete sayings and the total context in which it lies, thus showing how groundless are such fantastic guessings... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 14:26

But the Comforter, even the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said unto you.Teaching the apostles all things and bringing to their remembrance all that Jesus taught are parallel. Christ's message to men was perfect and complete; and the function of the Holy Spirit even in the apostles, was not that of continuing an incomplete revelation but of aiding their remembrance of the complete revelation already... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 14:27

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.The full appreciation of these remarkable words derives from their having been spoken within the very eye of the greatest storm of evil ever to appear on earth. Only Paul ever approached such tranquillity with his recurring theme "rejoice" written from a dungeon in Rome. As Reynolds said:This verse shows how the ordinary salutation may become... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 14:19

John 14:19. Yet a little while,— A little while indeed, for he was crucified the next day: and he more particularly declares, that he would not appear to the Jewish nation in general after his resurrection, but only to his disciples. He adds, "Because I live, by rising from the dead, ye shall live also,—by rising from the dead; and also now by means of those divine influences which you shall derive from me, to cherish the workings of grace in your hearts, and to train you up to a growing... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 14:20

John 14:20. At that day ye shall know, &c.— The words rendered and I have a peculiar elegance, which cannot be easily understood without adding the word so in the translation; accordingly the verse would run thus: At that day ye shall know, that as I am in the Father, and you in me, so also I am in you. The verse consists of two parts, as the effects of Christ's resurrection. First, they shall know that Christ is in his Father, that he has eternally dwelt in the Father—that he is one with... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 14:22-23

John 14:22-23. Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot,— It is observable, that Judas Iscariot was so finished a hypocrite, that we never find him saying one word of Christ's temporal kingdom, though probablythe hope of preferment and gain in it, was the chief consideration which engaged him to follow our Lord. The person here spoken of, was Judas, the son of Alpheus, the brother of James the Less, and a near relation of our Lord himself. See on Matthew 10:2. Being so nearly related to Jesus, he... read more

John 14:25-26. These things have I spoken— "I have spoken these things during my personal presence, because my time with you is short; and though you may not just now understand many of the particulars mentioned by me, you shall have perfect knowledge of them afterwards; for my Father will give you the Holy Spirit to supply the place of my bodily presence; and he shall be a παρακλητος, a monitor or instructor, to you, (see John 14:16.) teaching you doctrinally and experimentally every article... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 14:27

John 14:27. Peace I leave with you:— "Peace be to you" was the common salutation and compliment mutually given by the Jews to each other at meeting and parting. But although this compliment implied a wish of every thing thatcould make one happy, it was often used without any meaning. At best, it was but a wish, however sincere, and had no real efficacy in making him to whom it was given happy. But in the mouth of Jesus, by whose wisdom and power the affairs of the world are governed, a farewel... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 14:19

19. world seeth—beholdeth. me no more, but ye see—behold. me—His bodily presence, being all the sight of Him which "the world" ever had, or was capable of, it "beheld Him no more" after His departure to the Father; but by the coming of the Spirit, the presence of Christ was not only continued to His spiritually enlightened disciples, but rendered far more efficacious and blissful than His bodily presence had been before the Spirit's coming. because I live—not "shall live," only when raised from... read more
