Joh 14:26, 15:26, 16:7, 13-15 | Family | STEP | All things ; all things which should be needful to fit them for the duties of their office. Bring all things to your remembrance ; in such a way that he should, at the same time, enlighten them as to their true meaning.

John 14:26

All things; all things which should be needful to fit them for the duties of their office.

Bring all things to your remembrance; in such a way that he should, at the same time, enlighten them as to their true meaning.

John 15:26

He shall testify of me; to the integrity and divinity of my character, and to the truth and meaning of my teachings.

John 16:7

Expedient; for the gift of the Spirit would be better for the church than the continued personal presence of Christ. Things which men exceedingly deprecate are often highly expedient; and God in accomplishing them consults not only his own glory, but their highest good, and the good of his kingdom.

John 16:13-15

Into all truth; all that would be needful to a full revelation of the gospel.

Not speak of himself; not in opposition to, but in accordance with the Father and the Son. Chap Joh 5:19,30,31; 12:49,50.

That shall he speak; he would communicate the will of the Father and the Son as far and as fast as the glory of God and the good of men would require. Glorify me; the effect of his teaching would be to honor the Saviour.

Shall receive of mine; or, shall take of mine--shall take of the things that pertain to my person and work, which is the same thing as taking of things that pertain to the Father, since the Father and the Son are one in nature and counsel, and the Father has committed all things to the Son. These words give us one of the decisive tests by which true teaching may be distinguished from that which is false. All true teaching agrees with the testimony of the Holy Spirit in glorifying Christ. Are mine; Mt 11:27; 28:18.
