Joh 14:30 | MHM | STEP | v. 30 : Jesus says, Hereafter I will not talk much with you, for the prince of this world comes, and he has nothing in me (John 14:30 ). He warns the disciples that his time is short because Satan, the "prince of this world," is preparing to attack. Satan had tempted Jesus before (Matthew 4:1-11 ), and now he will try again, using fear and suffering to stop Jesus from completing his mission. However, Jesus confidently says, He has nothing in me . Satan has no power over Jesus because Jesus has no sin. Unlike humans, who give Satan power through sin, Jesus is perfectly pure. Satan may bring suffering and even death, but he cannot defeat Jesus or cause him to sin. This confidence assures believers that Jesus’ victory over Satan is certain. Jesus says, “I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no claim on me.” Jesus knows that His time is short because Satan (the ruler of this world) is about to act, but Satan has no power over Him (John 14:30 ).
