Wesley's Explanatory Notes - John 14:26

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.In my name — For my sake, in my room, and as my agent.He will teach you all things — Necessary for you to know. Here is a clear promise to the apostles, and their successors in the faith, that the Holy Ghost will teach them all that truth which is needful for their salvation. read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - John 14:27

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.Peace I leave with you — Peace in general; peace with God and with your own consciences.My peace — In particular; that peace which I enjoy, and which I create, I give - At this instant.Not as the world giveth — Unsatisfying unsettled, transient; but filling the soul with constant, even tranquillity. Lord, evermore give us this peace! How serenely... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - John 14:30

Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.The prince of this world is coming — To make his grand assault.But he hath nothing in me — No right, no claim, or power. There is no guilt in me, to give him power over me; no corruption to take part with his temptation. read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - John 14:31

But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.But I suffer him thus to assault me, 1. Because it is the Father's commission to me, John 10:182. To convince the world of my love to the Father, in being obedient unto death, Philippians 2:8.Arise, let us go hence — Into the city, to the passover. All that has been related from John 12:31, was done and said on Thursday, without the city. But what follows in the... read more

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

§ 127. JESUS COMFORTS HIS DISCIPLES, John 14:1-31 . If, as some commentators suppose, the institution of the Lord’s Supper took place between John 13:35 and John 13:36, then the opening of this discourse has a degree of dependence on the warning just given to Peter. But if the institution of the Supper takes place at the close of the last chapter, the present chapter, at any rate, is a post-communion discourse. Though the variations of thought are so great, that we may, perhaps, properly... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - John 14:15

15. If… love… keep my commandments Preparatory to the reception of the Comforter, they were to come into full union with Christ by a love evinced by obedience. Hence this verse is not to be torn from its connection, but is to be viewed as conditional to the promise that follows. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - John 14:15-31

Christ’s sending the Comforter to supply his place, John 14:15-31. Jesus now makes his starting point from John 14:12, where he had spoken of the great works to be done after his departure. He now introduces to their knowledge the divine Agent by whose power those works should be performed, in and through them and his Church. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - John 14:16

16. I will pray the Father The prayer of the Son, the ever living intercessor, consists in his wish and will ever going forth, that the work of redemption may be accomplished, by the power of the Father, in all its fulness and glory. And this prayer is a perfect divine sympathy with the wish and will of the Father; so that herein the Father and the Son are one, and the prayer of the Son is sure of fulfilment. Comforter Rather Advocate. In ancient times there existed the relation of patron... read more
