Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - John 14:25-27

25-27 Would we know these things for our good, we must pray for, and depend on the teaching of the Holy Ghost; thus the words of Jesus will be brought to our remembrance, and many difficulties be cleared up which are not plain to others. To all the saints, the Spirit of grace is given to be a remembrancer, and to him, by faith and prayer, we should commit the keeping of what we hear and know. Peace is put for all good, and Christ has left us all that is really and truly good, all the promised... 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 14:27-31

The gift of peace: v. 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. v. 28. Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away and come again unto you. If ye loved Me, ye would rejoice because I said, I go unto the Father; for My Father is greater than I. v. 29. And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. v. 30. Hereafter I will not... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - John 14:27

John CHRIST’S PEACE Joh_14:27 . ‘Peace be unto you!’ was, and is, the common Eastern salutation, both in meeting and in parting. It carries us back to a state of society in which every stranger might be an enemy. It is a confession of the deep unrest of the human heart. Christ was about closing His discourse, and the common word of leave-taking came naturally to His lips; just as when He first met His followers after the Resurrection, He soothed their fears by the calm and familiar... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - John 14:25-31

Christ’s Gift of Peace John 14:25-31 Our Lord gives the fourfold basis of His peace: (1) The vision of the Father. Throughout these wonderful chapters He seems able to speak of nothing else. If we lived in the thought and consciousness of God, our peace also would be as a river. Let us wrap that thought around us, as a man his overcoat on a stormy day. (2) Disentanglement from the world. We must stand clear of the ambitions of the world, of its fear and favor, of its craving for wealth 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 14:1-27

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

Wells of Living Water Commentary - John 14:26-30

The Ministry of the Spirit John 14:26-30 ; John 16:7-13 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Christ came to His own, and His own received Him not. The Holy Spirit came to His own, seeking to bring every possible spiritual gift and blessing, but His own have received Him not. Many believers are seeking to paddle their own canoe, and to work out their own will, wholly forgetting the Spirit and His ministry. There is nothing that comes in the life of the believer, whether in the way of victory in his walk, power... read more

James Nisbet

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - John 14:27

THE PEACE OF CHRIST‘My peace I give unto you.’ John 14:27 The word peace in the Hebrew seems to have the idea of completeness—something which if a man has, he wants no more; it is a word in which all good is summed up; we should call it happiness.‘My peace I give unto you.’ These are the Words of the Prince of Peace, the King of Peace, the Lord of Peace, and therefore the peace He gives to His people is princely, kingly, lordly peace. It is the ‘peace of God.’ God’s peace is Christ’s gift.... read more
