John 14:30 NIV,NKJV

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - John 14:1-31

John 14:0 In the narrative of Sir Walter Scott's last days at Abbotsford, Lockhart tells how one morning he had his chair wheeled 'into the library, and placed by the central window, that he might look down on the Tweed. Here he expressed the wish that I should read to him, and when I asked from what book, he said: "Need you ask? There is but one?" I chose the fourteenth chapter of St. John's Gospel; he listened with mild devotion.' Reference. XIV. Expositor (4th Series), vol. v. p. 290. The... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - John 14:22-31

XI. THE BEQUEST OF PEACE."Judas (not Iscariot) saith unto Him, Lord, what is come to pass that Thou wilt manifest Thyself unto us, and not unto the world? Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love Me, he will keep My word: and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth Me not keepeth not My words: and the word which ye hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me. These things have I spoken unto you, while yet abiding with you. But... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - John 14:1-31

CHAPTER 14 1. Let not Your Heart be Troubled! (John 14:1-7 .) 2. I Am in the Father and the Father in Me. (John 14:8-14 .) 3. The Other Comforter Promised. (John 14:15-27 .) 4. I Go unto the Father. (John 14:28-31 .) There is no break between these two chapters. The Lord continues His discourse to the eleven disciples. “Let not your heart be troubled!” What precious words of comfort! How many hearts have been soothed by them and how many tears they have dried! And after His loving words He... read more

Geneva Study Bible - John 14:30

14:30 {11} Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath {m} nothing in me.(11) Christ goes to death not unwillingly, but willingly, not that he is yielding to the devil, but rather that he is obeying his Father’s decree.(m) As one would say, "Satan will eventually set upon me with all the might he can, but he has no power over me, neither will he find any such thing in me as he thinks he will." read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - John 14:1-31

MINISTRY OF ENCOURAGEMENT CENTERED IN CHRIST PERSONALLY (vs.1-6) Had the Lord spoken the last words of chapter 13 with the object of discouraging Peter? By no means. For His next words are "Let not your heart be troubled." Their true protection was in Him personally, not in their own faithfulness. They had faith in God: let them have the same faith in the Lord Jesus. Though Peter himself failed, yet his faith did not fail (Luke 22:32). He certainly thought just as much of the Lord afterward... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - John 14:1-31

CENTRAL TEACHING OF JESUS CHRIST The title of this lesson is borrowed from Bernard’s volume on chapters 13-17 inclusive. Others call the chapters the heart of the heart of the Gospel. Commonly chapters 14-16 are known as the farewell discourse to the disciples, which occurred in the same place and on the same occasion as the washing of the disciples’ feet. Indeed there seems to have been two discourses on the occasion, the one limited to chapter 14, and the other to 15 and 16. Chapter 14... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - John 14:1-31

The Self-revelation of Christ John 14:0 , John 15:0 We cannot understand the opening of the fourteenth chapter unless we read it in immediate connection with the close of the thirteenth. "Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake. Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice." "Let" notwithstanding all cowardice and recession and... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - John 14:28-31

Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. (29) And now I have told you before it come to pass, that when it is come to pass ye might believe. (30) Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. (31) But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even Song of Solomon... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - John 14:28-31

28-31 Christ raises the expectations of his disciples to something beyond what they thought was their greatest happiness. His time was now short, he therefore spake largely to them. When we come to be sick, and to die, we may not be capable of talking much to those about us; such good counsel as we have to give, let us give while in health. Observe the prospect Christ had of an approaching conflict, not only with men, but with the powers of darkness. Satan has something in us to perplex us... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - John 14:1-99

John 14 THE WORD OF warning was at once followed by a word of exceeding grace. Jesus knew well that these disciples in spite of all their failures did really love Him, and the thought of His departure was a sore grief to them. Hence the words that open our chapter. It was beginning to dawn upon them that they were to lose His visible presence with them; that was the trouble that burdened their hearts. But then the invisible God had ever been to them real, as an Object of faith. Might not... read more
