Juan 12:23-50 RVA

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - John 12:37-43

John 12:37-: . Failure in Judæ a.— The many signs have failed to convince. The author explains this by the prediction in Isaiah 53:1, the “ arm of the Lord” being interpreted of Messiah. And the ultimate cause is also dealt with in Isaiah 6:9 ff. The rule of God’ s working is that there comes a time when those who will not obey lose the power of doing so. The situation is similar to that foretold in the story of Isaiah’ s call. It was the Word of God, now incarnate in Jesus Christ, that... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - John 12:44-50

John 12:44-Philippians : . Final Summary of Jesus’ Public Teaching.— This summing up of what was most important in the teaching of Jesus throws interesting light on the author’ s method of recording the “ speeches.” Belief in Jesus is identified with belief in God. He is for men the final revelation of the Father. He came to enlighten, to dispel moral and spiritual darkness. His chief purpose was not to execute the Messianic judgment of men, as some had thought, and rejected Jesus in... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 12:23

Christ replies, that the time was now come when he (who was the Son of God) should be glorified; that is, by the Gentiles receiving of the gospel, according to the many prophecies of it in the Old Testament; but he goeth on telling them that he must first die. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 12:24

Look as you see in your ordinary husbandry, the grains of wheat are first buried in the earth, and lose their form, before they spring and shoot up again, and bring forth fruit; so it must be with me; I must be first lifted up, before I shall draw men after me; I must first be crucified, before my gospel shall be preached to all nations, and the fulness of the Gentiles shall come: but if I have once died, and risen again from the dead, then you shall see this abundant fruit. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 12:25

We had much the same in the other evangelists, Matthew 10:39; Luke 14:26. Some think that our Saviour repeateth it here, to show, that as Christ first suffered, and then entered into his glory; so his disciples must also lay the foundation of their glory in their sufferings and through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God, Acts 14:22. Or what if we should say, that our blessed Lord doth here prophesy what sufferings would attend the first preaching of the gospel, and encourage his... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 12:26

If any man serve me, let him follow me: this is much the same with that, Matthew 16:24, unless following here be more restrained to suffering, let him follow me to my cross; for otherwise it seemeth the same with serving; we must be ready not only to do, but also to die for Christ, to follow him to the cross, if he calleth us to it. And if any man so serveth me, he shall be in heaven where I am; If we suffer with him, we shall also be glorified together, Romans 8:17. For my Father, with whom I... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 12:27

Now is my soul troubled; by soul is not here to be understood only the sensitive part of the soul, but his whole human soul. So John 13:21, He was troubled in spirit. Our inward troubles arise from our passions; and there are passions of grief and fear, which give us most of our inward trouble; fear respecteth some evil at a distance from us; grief is caused by evil fallen upon us, or so near that we seem to be already in the power of it. The word here used is τεταρακται, which signifieth no... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 12:28

Father, glorify thy name; that is, make thy name glorious, make it to be known and famous over all the earth. A general petition, but such a one as all our particular requests must be reduced to, if they be according to the will of God. It is as much as, Father, do thine own will: for God is then glorified when his will is done. But it here signifies more: Not my will, but thy will be done. My flesh indeed saith save me from this hour; but, Father, do thy own will, let that be done concerning... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 12:29

The people said that it thundered; nor, it may be, were they mistaken, saving only in this, that they thought it was nothing else but thunder (being possibly at such a distance, as they could not distinctly hear the voice); for it was God’s way, when he spake unto his people by a voice, to have that voice, for the greater declaration of the Divine majesty, attended with thunderings and lightnings: thus it was at the giving of the law upon Mount Sinai; thus we read in John’s visions, Revelation... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 12:30

This voice came not to instruct me, I very well knew, before it came, that my Father had glorified his own name, and would do it again; it came not principally nor solely for me, but chiefly to confirm you in this great truth, that I am the Son of God, and he whom he hath sent into the world, by and in whom he designs to glorify his own great name. read more
