John 14:6

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - John 14:1-7

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. (2) In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you, I go to prepare a place for you. (3) And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (4) And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. (5) Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest: and how can we know the way? (6) Jesus saith unto him, I am... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - John 14:1-11

1-11 Here are three words, upon any of which stress may be laid. Upon the word troubled. Be not cast down and disquieted. The word heart. Let your heart be kept with full trust in God. The word your. However others are overwhelmed with the sorrows of this present time, be not you so. Christ's disciples, more than others, should keep their minds quiet, when everything else is unquiet. Here is the remedy against this trouble of mind, "Believe." By believing in Christ as the Mediator between God... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - John 14:1-99

John 14 THE WORD OF warning was at once followed by a word of exceeding grace. Jesus knew well that these disciples in spite of all their failures did really love Him, and the thought of His departure was a sore grief to them. Hence the words that open our chapter. It was beginning to dawn upon them that they were to lose His visible presence with them; that was the trouble that burdened their hearts. But then the invisible God had ever been to them real, as an Object of faith. Might not... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - John 14:5-7

An interruption by Thomas: v. 5. Thomas saith unto Him, Lord, we know not whither Thou goest; and how can we know the way? v. 6. Jesus saith unto him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no man cometh unto the Father but by Me. v. 7. If ye had known Me, ye should have known My Father also; and from henceforth ye know Him, and have seen Him. Thomas was but expressing the thoughts of the majority of the disciples; he acted, in a way, as their mouthpiece. So firmly and completely were... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - John 14:4-7

John THE WAY Joh_14:4 - Joh_14:7 . Our Lord has been speaking of His departure, of its purpose, of His return as guaranteed by that purpose, and of His servants’ eternal and perfect reunion with Him. But even these cheering and calming thoughts do not exhaust His consolations, as they did not satisfy all the disciples’ needs. They might still have said, ‘Yes; we believe that You will come back again, and we believe that we shall be together; but what about the parenthesis of absence?’ And... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - John 14:1-11

Jesus, the Way, the Truth, and the Life John 14:1-11 As He neared the end, our Lord could speak of little else than the Father. Heaven was His Father’s house, where a prepared mansion awaits each of us, perfectly adapted to the peculiarities of our temperament. The yearning of the heart of man was truly set forth by Philip in his request to see the Father; but never before had it dawned upon human intelligence that the divine can find its supreme revelation in the simplicities and... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

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

Wells of Living Water Commentary - John 14:1-27

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
