Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 14:2-4

John 14:2-4. In my Father’s house From whence I came, whither I am going, and to which place I am conducting you; are many mansions or apartments (he alludes to the palaces of kings) sufficient to receive the holy angels, your predecessors in the faith, and all that now believe, or shall hereafter believe, even a great multitude, which no man can number. Our Lord means by the expression, different states of felicity in which men shall be placed, according to their progress in faith and... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 14:5-6

John 14:5-6. Thomas saith Taking him in a gross sense; Lord, we know not whither thou goest “As their thoughts turned very much on a temporal kingdom, they might imagine that their Master intended to remove to some splendid palace on earth, which he was to prepare for their reception, making it the seat of his court.” Jesus saith, I am the way, the truth, and the life Christ was his own way to the Father, inasmuch as by his own blood he entered into the holy place, Hebrews 9:12; and he... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 14:1-14

143. The way to the Father (John 14:1-14)The disciples by now surely knew that Jesus was soon to die. He therefore comforted them by saying he was going to his Father to prepare a permanent dwelling place for them, and one day he would return to take them to be with him for ever. He had told them often enough that if they followed him as loyal followers, they would share in his final victory (John 14:1-4).Thomas misunderstood, thinking that Jesus was speaking of a physical location and a... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 14:3

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.And if I go ... is not a statement of uncertainty but an argument that, as certainly as the Lord shall go, that certainly will he return and receive his own.I come again ... The second coming of Jesus is dogmatically affirmed here and throughout the New Testament. As Dorris said:Some refer this to the resurrection of Christ, others to the death of a believer as in the... read more
