Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - John 14:25

25. These things have I spoken In these two verses, 25 and 26, we seem to have a summary and close of the train of thought. Glancing the mind’s eye over his own discourse, Jesus presents it as a whole as uttered by himself being yet present.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - John 14:26

26. Teach you all things… bring… to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said The Paraclete should teach and remind; and the subject both of this teaching and reminding should be all things whatsoever I have said.

His glorified person, ascending to the right hand of God, would be in glory and in bliss ineffable; would be, in human form, the very living person, real and confessed, of God himself.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - John 14:29

29. Ye might believe Jesus here, as in John 13:19, utters words which should hereafter ripen into fruit.
