James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - John 16:33

TWO CONTRASTED CONCEPTIONS‘In the world’; ‘In Me.’ John 16:33 These words are part of the closing sentences of our dear Lord’s last address. They tell of a life the disciples must inevitably lead. I. Two contrasted conceptions.—‘In the world’; ‘In Me.’ The matter treated of is the life and experience of the disciple, his field and sphere of existence. This is described, in one breath, as ‘in Me’; and, in the next, nay, is the same, as ‘in the world.’ Can these two locations belong to the same... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 16:1-33

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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 16:16-33

Warning and Assurance for the Future (John 16:16-33 ). As the time for them to go to Gethsemane approaches Jesus now begins to prepare them for what is to happen there. They are to recognise that what is to happen there will in fact be truly of God, and that through what will happen in that Garden will be carried out the grandest and most supreme of the purposes of God. The Son will accomplish His work of redemption and will return to the Father. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 16:33

“These things I have spoken to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation. But be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” His purpose in all that He has said is so that in the end they will have peace. As they think back and remember all He said and all that has happened their assurance and confidence will grow and peace will fill their hearts. And especially He wants them to have confidence in the fact that the world will not win. It is God Who will win. For by... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - John 16:1-33

John 16. There is no break between chs. 15 and 16 . Jesus has told them beforehand, so that His death and their suffering may not daunt their faith, as the Baptist was “ offended” by the course of the ministry, which did not correspond to his Messianic expectation. They must expect actual excommunication. Their execution will be thought an acceptable sacrifice to God ( cf. the Jewish comment on Numbers 25:13, “ He who sheds the blood of a transgressor should be thought of as if he had... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 16:33

By peace here is not so much to be understood peace with God; which yet we have from Christ, and through Christ, according to Romans 5:1, Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ; nor yet peace of conscience, which is the copy of our peace with God; as a peace of mind, a quiet, serene, calm temper, which indeed is the effect of the other, as the cause: that you might not to troubled and disturbed, neither for my sake, nor yet for your own. Though in the... read more

William Nicoll

Sermon Bible Commentary - John 16:33

John 16:33 There is clearly a negative rolled up in this sentence. It is this: that there is no peace out of Christ. I. Let us be careful that we understand what the peace of God is. It is the feeling of being forgiven a quiet conscience a stilling sense of the love of God. That is the first thing. Then, growing out of that, it is a certain contemplative habit of mind that deals silently with unseen things, which lives up high enough not to be tossed and anxious much about the matters which... read more

Chuck Smith

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - John 16:1-33

Shall we turn to John's gospel, chapter 16.Now, these words in the sixteenth chapter have to be understood with the background as Jesus has been in the upper room with His disciples. He has told them as He had the Lord's supper with them that He would not drink of the fruit of the vine until He drank it anew in the kingdom. After supper, He has washed their feet, giving to them an example of what the ministry is all about; it's that of a servant. And then there in the upper room He speaks to... read more
