G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - John 14:1-31

There is no real break between the end of chapter 13 and beginning of chapter 14. Therefore continuing, while now including all the disciples, He charged them not to let their heart be troubled. He then answered Peter's original question by saying He was going to prepare a place for them. To Thomas' protest He answered that He Himself was "the way, the truth, and the life"; and to Philip's great exclamation, "Show us the Father, and it sufficeth us," He replied in words that need no comment,... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - John 14:1-26

The Comfort Chapter John 14:1-26 INTRODUCTORY WORDS How wonderful it is that our Lord Jesus Christ could give forth such words of comfort in the hour when He, Himself, was hastening on toward the anguish of Gethsemane and the Cross. Yet so it was. Having taken the bread and blessed it, and having taken the cup and given thanks, Jesus said to the disciples, "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in Me." Then, with these words spoken there fell from His lips words of... read more

The Comfort Chapter John 14:1-27 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We remember the statement, "Never man spake like this Man." These words were true from many viewpoints. However, of all the wonderful things which our Lord said, there were no words which could have surpassed the statements contained in the 14th chapter of John. Chapters 15 and 16 complete the message, and present to us the very heart-throbs of the Son of God as He faced the Cross. Following the message spoken to His disciples is the prayer... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - John 14:1

HIS ONLY SON OUR LORD‘Believe in God, believe also in Me.’ John 14:1 Manifestly, everybody must believe in God before he can believe in Jesus Christ in any deep sense; for to say that ‘Jesus is the Son of God’ already implies a belief in God. This was clearly true of the Christian converts from among the Jews, who were already worshippers of Jehovah; and it was true also, though to a less extent, of the Greeks, as St. Paul recognised in his famous speech at Athens; and it remains true of the... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 14:1

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Have confidence (believe) in God, have confidence also in me.” Conscious of their troubled thoughts and hearts He set out to encourage them. And He did it by pointing out what He would be doing for them in the future. Let them not be afraid. They must not waver in their confidence. They not only have to hold to their belief in God, they have to hold to their belief in Him. This indeed is to be their rock and their confidence, that, whatever happens, they... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 14:1-3

The Guarantee Of Their Eternal Future (John 14:1-3 ). He commences by giving them the confidence that their eternal future is secure. Such a certainty would undergird any problems that might arise in the future, and enable them to face whatever came with equanimity. Certainty as to their destiny would go a long way to bolstering their faith in times of trouble. At such times as this men of faith would normally turn the eyes of their followers away from themselves to God, especially if their... read more

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

Jesus’ Final Words To His Apostles (John 13:31 to John 17:26 ). This next section, from John 13:31 to John 17:26, can be seen as the equivalent of the dying words of Jesus. Words spoken on approaching death, and especially on a deathbed, were considered to be particularly potent. There are numerous examples of this in Scripture, like the blessings of Jacob to his sons in Genesis 47:29 to Genesis 49:33, Moses’ farewell words in Deuteronomy 33:0, the farewell of Joshua to the nation of Israel... read more

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

John 14:1-Numbers : takes up the thoughts of the previous paragraph, not of the last verse. The thoughts of separation and treachery had led to perplexity, if not despair. Jesus bids them trust God and Himself. There is plenty of room in His Father’ s house ( cf. Genesis 24:23; Genesis 24:25). John 14:2 b may be interpreted in three ways: ( a) Even if not He would have found room for them. “ To you I would have said I go to prepare a place” : this suits the context, but is forced, ( b) “... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 14:1

Chapter Introduction The three ensuing chapters contain either one or more consolatory discourses of our Saviour to his disciples, (as appeareth from John 14:1), made, as is probable, to them in the guest chamber (at least that part of them which we have in this chapter); for we read of no motion of our Saviour’s till we come to the last verse of this chapter. That which troubled them was, what he had told them in the close of the former chapter, that he was going from them. By our Saviour’s... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - John 14:1-7

EXPLANATORY AND CRITICAL NOTESJohn 14:1. The discourse begun at John 13:31 is here continued. Here our Lord not merely answers fully Peter’s question, “Whither goest Thou?” (John 13:36), but speaks much needed words of comfort. Μὴ ταρασσέθω., “Let not your heart be troubled,” etc., should be compared with Ἰησοῦς ἐταράχθη τῷ πνεύματι of John 13:21. He was troubled that they might have peace. “From this point onwards, the form of instruction properly so called prevails; Jesus transports Himself... read more
