John 14:28-31. If ye loved me With a wise and rational affection, it would allay your sorrows in the mean time, and howsoever you might have a mournful sense of your own loss; you would rejoice on my account, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father Whose servant I am, as Mediator; is, in this respect, greater than I Consequently, it must be my honour and happiness to be in a state of greater nearness to him than the present world will admit. “These words,” as Dr.... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 14:15-31

144. Promise of the Holy Spirit (John 14:15-31)In assuring the disciples of the blessings that would follow his return to the Father (see John 14:12), Jesus had not specifically mentioned the Holy Spirit. Now he explained. When he returned to the Father, he would send the Holy Spirit as the Counsellor, or Helper, to guide, instruct and strengthen them. Those who did not believe in Jesus would not be able to understand how this Helper worked, because their understanding was limited to the things... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 14:30

I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world cometh: and he hath nothing in me; but that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave me commandment, even so do I. Arise, let us go hence.The prince of the world ... is another reference to Satan as in John 12:31.Hath nothing in me ... There is a hint here that Satan might have expected to have something in Christ; but the Saviour calmly announced that he would do what the Father had commanded, that is, die... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 14:30-31

John 14:30-31. Hereafter I will not talk to much with you:— "I shall not have much opportunityto talk with you after this; because the devil is now excitinghis emissaries to take away my life; in which he will succeed. However, be assured, that I shall undergo the punishment of death; not because I deserve it, for he hath nothing in me;—no guilt of mine to give him power over me, nor any inward corruption to take part with his temptation: but I undergo this death, for this grand reason among... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 14:30

30, 31. Hereafter I will not talk much with you—"I have a little more to say, but My work hastens apace, and the approach of the adversary will cut it short." for the prince of this world—(See on John 14:1). cometh—with hostile intent, for a last grand attack, having failed in His first formidable assault (John 14:1- :) from which he "departed [only] for a season" (John 14:13). and hath nothing in me—nothing of His own—nothing to fasten on. Glorious saying! The truth of it is, that which makes... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 14:30-31

Jesus would not speak much longer with the disciples because His passion was imminent. He did not mean that His present discourse was almost over. Satan, the being who under God’s sovereign authority controlled the present course of events, was about to crucify Jesus (cf. John 6:70; John 13:21; John 13:27). "He has nothing in Me" or "He has no hold on me" translates a Hebrew idiom and means Satan has no legal claim on me. Satan would have had a justifiable charge against Jesus if Jesus had... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - John 14:1-31

The Comforter1-31. The mansions in heaven. The mission of the Comforter. This great discourse, which is not easily susceptible of formal subdivision, deals with five main subjects: (1) the heavenly mansions; (2) Christ as the Way to the Father; (3) the mutual indwelling of the Father in the Son, and of the Son in the Father; (4) the efficacy of prayer through Christ; (5) the mission of the Comforter.Some scholars think that a displacement has occurred in the farewell discourses, and... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - John 14:30

(30) Hereafter I will not talk much with you.—Better, I will no more, or, I will not continue to talk much with you. The discourse is broken by the thought that the hour of the conflict is at hand, and that He must go forth to meet it.For the prince of this world cometh.—Better, is coming. The approach is thought of as then taking place. For the phrase, “prince of this world,” comp. Note on John 12:31. The prince of evil is here regarded as working in and by Judas, who is carrying out his plans... read more
