‏ John 14:23-31

Summary for John 14:23-24: 14:23-24 ^a Jesus answered Judas’s question, explaining that his coming would be a profound spiritual revelation beyond the world’s grasp.

• Jesus’ coming would occur in three experiences: his resurrection, the coming of the Spirit, and his second coming. When he comes in the Spirit, he and the Father will reside within believers, making a home with each of them (see study note on 14:2).
14:26 ^b Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit (see also 14:16 ^c; 15:26 ^d; 16:7 ^e, 12-14 ^f).

• The Spirit will teach ... everything, recalling Jesus’ words and clarifying their meaning. John experienced this power as he wrote his Gospel (2:22 ^g); Christians experience this work of the Spirit as they read the Scriptures.
14:27 ^h The Jewish greeting peace (Hebrew shalom) captured the spirit of Jesus’ work on earth to restore humanity’s relationship with God (Isa 9:6-7 ⁱ; 52:7 ^j; 57:19 ^k; Rom 5:1 ^l). The resurrection (John 14:28 ^m) and the Spirit were instrumental in achieving this work.
14:28 ⁿ the Father, who is greater than I am: See also 5:19-20 ^o. Jesus is submissive to the Father but is also one with the Father (10:30 ^p).
14:30 ^q The events unfolding in Jerusalem that led to the cross were not controlled by the ruler of this world, meaning Satan. The cross was not an accident, and Jesus was not a helpless victim. Rather, Jesus was obedient to God’s plan.
