约翰福音 14:3-7 CUNPSS

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 14:6

Verse 6 6.I am the way. Though Christ does not give a direct reply to the question put to him, yet he passes by nothing that is useful to be known. It was proper that Thomas’ curiosity should be checked; and, therefore, Christ does not explain what would be his condition when he should have departed out of this world to go to the Father, (62) but dwells on a subject far more necessary. Thomas would gladly have heard what Christ intended to do in heaven, as we never become weary of those... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 14:7

Verse 7 7.If you had known me. He confirms what we have just now said, that it is a foolish and pernicious curiosity, when men, not satisfied with him, attempt to go to God by indirect and crooked paths. (64) They admit that there is nothing better than the knowledge of God; but when he is near them, and speaks to them familiarly, they wander through their own speculations, and seek above the clouds him whom they do not deign to acknowledge as present. Christ, therefore, blames the disciples... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:1-3

The revelation made to faith. The dark shadow of our Lord's approaching agony and death was now upon his heart. Yet he thought tenderly of the sorrow of his disciples on their own account. Hence the sympathizing and consolatory tone of his last sustained and leisurely conversation with them. Hence the special revelation with which they were on this occasion favored. And hence, too, the intercessory prayer which was at that juncture of their need offered so fervently on their behalf. The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:1-4

Comfort under separation. There is no break between this chapter and the preceding. I. MARK OUR LORD 'S SYMPATHY WITH HIS DISCIPLES . "Let not your heart be troubled." 1. The best of God ' s people may be at times in a desponding and distrustful mood . 2. Jesus takes delight in comforting his saints and lightening the burden of a heavy heart . "Come unto me, and I will give you rest." II. MARK THE REMEDY FOR THE DESPONDENT MOOD OF HIS ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:2-3

The work of the ascended Jesus. And yet manifestly it is only part of the work. So much is spoken of as needed to be spoken of here. Jesus tells us that which will best blend with other things that have to be said at the time. Who can imagine, who can describe, anything like the total of what Jesus has gone from earthly scenes to do? I. CONSIDER THE OCCUPATIONS OF THOSE WHO WERE LEFT . Just one word gives the suggestion that these were in the mind of Jesus as he spoke,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:3

And if I go and if I prepare a place for you —a simple condition, soon to be realized by the event— I come again ; I am ever coming, as I am now about to explain to you, shall prevail between us. I am coming to you, in my glory and power, and in my victory in you as well as for you over death and Hades, to receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. The full perspective of the Lord's approach to faithful souls is given in the extraordinary pregnancy of the "I am... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:4

Instead of "Whither I go ye know, and the way ye know," R.T. reads, Ye know the way whither I am going . £ Some valuable manuscripts and versions, also the bulk of the cursives, Cyril and Chrysostom, sustain the T.R.; nor have Hengstenberg or Gorier departed from it. The construction of the amended reading is harsh and awkward, but considering the point-blank contradiction which Thomas gives to the words in John 14:5 , the truncated reading is probably the true one. Great emphasis is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:4-6

The way to God. The course of the conversation here is not hard to follow. First, there is the assertion of Jesus, following upon his revelation of the heavenly dwelling-places, that his disciples knew well the road he was about to travel. He had often of late spoken of his approaching departure from this world, and even of the manner of it. Secondly, there is the difficulty, started by Thomas, that they knew not the goal, and therefore could not know the path by which it should be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 14:5

Thomas —true to the character elsewhere attributed to him in this Gospel, of anxious, intellectual striving after truth and reality, with a certain despondency and morbid fear of issues which he could not grasp, and yet with a great love to his Master— saith to him, We know not whither thou goest ; i.e. we are still in vague perplexity. "Whither? oh, whither?" Art thou going to the dispersed among the Gentiles? Art thou going to restore the kingdom to Israel? Thou art to be "lifted up;"... read more
