John Chapter 16 1 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
John Chapter 16 2 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
2. They shall put you out of the synagogue--
(Joh 9:22; 12:42).
the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service--The words mean religious service--"that he is offering a service to God." (So Saul of Tarsus,
Ga 1:13, 14; Php 3:6).
John Chapter 16 4 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
4. these things I said not . . . at--from.
the beginning--He had said it pretty early
(Lu 6:22),
but not quite as in
Joh 16:2.
because I was with you.
John Chapter 16 5 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
5. But now I go my way to him that sent me--While He was with them, the world's hatred was directed chiefly against Himself; but His departure would bring it down upon them as His representatives.
and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?--They had done so in a sort
(Joh 13:36; 14:5);
but He wished more intelligent and eager inquiry on the subject.
John Chapter 16 6 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
6, 7. But because I have said these things . . . sorrow hath filled your heart--Sorrow had too much paralyzed them, and He would rouse their energies.
John Chapter 16 7 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
7. It is expedient for you that I go away--
My Saviour, can it ever be
That I should gain by losing thee?
KEBLE.
Yes.
for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you, but if I depart, I will send him unto you--(See on
Joh 7:39;
Joh 14:15).
John Chapter 16 8 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
8. And when he is come, he will, &c.--This is one of the passages most pregnant with thought in the profound discourses of Christ; with a few great strokes depicting all and every part of the ministry of the Holy Ghost in the world--His operation with reference to individuals as well as the mass, on believers and unbelievers alike [OLSHAUSEN].
he will reprove--This is too weak a word to express what is meant. Reproof is indeed implied in the term employed, and doubtless the word begins with it. But convict or convince is the thing intended; and as the one expresses the work of the Spirit on the unbelieving portion of mankind, and the other on the believing, it is better not to restrict it to either.
John Chapter 16 9 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
9. Of sin, because they believe not on me--As all sin has its root in unbelief, so the most aggravated form of unbelief is the rejection of Christ. The Spirit, however, in fastening this truth upon the conscience, does not extinguish, but, on the contrary, does consummate and intensify, the sense of all other sins.
Joh 16:1-33.
