John 14:27

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

Jesus’ Final Words To His Apostles (John 13:31 to John 17:26 ). This next section, from John 13:31 to John 17:26, can be seen as the equivalent of the dying words of Jesus. Words spoken on approaching death, and especially on a deathbed, were considered to be particularly potent. There are numerous examples of this in Scripture, like the blessings of Jacob to his sons in Genesis 47:29 to Genesis 49:33, Moses’ farewell words in Deuteronomy 33:0, the farewell of Joshua to the nation of Israel... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 14:27

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you. It is not as the world gives that I give to you”. Jesus now assures them of peace in mind and heart, which He will give to them, indeed is now giving to them. His Spirit will not only teach them but will give them peace within, ‘peace that passes all understanding’ (Philippians 4:7), a part of the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22). It is a peace which is permanent, not dependent on the vicissitudes of the world. It is a peace that nothing can... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 14:27-28

“Do not allow your heart to be troubled, nor let it be fearful. You have heard how I said to you, ‘I am going away, and I am coming to you’. If you loved me you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father. For the Father is greater than I”. While it is true that He is leaving them, they must not let it get them down. For if they only think about it they will realise that it is both for His and their good. They may want Him to stay, but if they love Him they will rejoice at His going... read more

3). Closing Words of Comfort (John 14:27-31 ). Jesus ends these words of strengthening and encouraging with further assurances. They will enjoy His peace, and are to recognise that it is good that He is going away because it means a greater and a wider work, and will also result in His once again enjoying His Father’s presence in the fullness of His Being.. read more

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

John 14:1-Numbers : takes up the thoughts of the previous paragraph, not of the last verse. The thoughts of separation and treachery had led to perplexity, if not despair. Jesus bids them trust God and Himself. There is plenty of room in His Father’ s house ( cf. Genesis 24:23; Genesis 24:25). John 14:2 b may be interpreted in three ways: ( a) Even if not He would have found room for them. “ To you I would have said I go to prepare a place” : this suits the context, but is forced, ( b) “... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 14:27

Peace be with you, or to you, was the Jewish common salutation, 1 Samuel 25:6; under that general name they comprehended all manner of good: with this good wish they both saluted their friends when they met them, and took their farewell of them when they left them. Christ, being now about to take his leave for a time of his disciples, wishes them peace; nay, he doth not only wish it to them, but he leaves it to them; he giveth it them as a legacy; and that in another kind of peace, and in... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - John 14:15-31

EXPLANATORY AND CRITICAL NOTESJohn 14:15. Keep My commandment.—“Ask in My name. Keep My,” etc. These go together. We can only truly pray in His name when we keep, etc.John 14:16. ἐγὼ ἐρωτήσω.—The pronoun is emphatic. The verb ἐρωτᾶν is that especially used by our Lord in reference to His prayers to the Father (John 16:26; John 17:9; John 15:20). It expresses perhaps a greater degree of nearness and familiarity of approach than αἰτέω, I ask. ἄλλον Παράκλητον, κ.τ.λ. another Comforter.—The... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - John 14:27

John 14:27 Let us take the word "Peace" in at least some of the senses which our Saviour would give to it, and which are on our part fulfilled. I. There is peace within ourselves. Everyone knows what it is to be at peace with ourselves, or not at peace. We may be perfectly prosperous, and yet there is a secret pang which makes us ill at ease. There is a something of which we do not like to speak, of which we do not like to hear, and of which, if possible, we would rather not think. "Keep... read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - John 14:27

Spiritual Peace; The Best of Masters The Best of Masters April 10th, 1859 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "Peace I leave with you; my peace l give unto you; not as the world giveth, I give unto you." John 14:27 . The Gospel of John is peculiarly the history of Jesus, the Son of God. Matthew deals with Jesus as the Prince of the house of David; Mark treats of him as the Servant of servants; and Luke views him as the Son of Man; but John, with eagle eye, looks beyond all the clouds of his... read more
