20 At that day you will know that aI am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.  
21 aHe who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and1 manifest Myself to him.”  
22 aJudas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?”  
23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, aand We will come to him and make Our home with him.  
24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and athe word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.

John 14:22

Not Iscariot (oux o Iskariwthv). Judas Iscariot had gone (John 13:30), but John is anxious to make it clear that this Judas (common name, two apostles also named James) was not the infamous traitor. He is also called Thaddaeus or Lebbaeus (Mark 3:17; Matthew 10:3) and the brother (or son) of James (John 6:15; Acts 1:13). This is the fourth interruption of the talk of Jesus (by Peter, John 13:36; by Thomas, John 14:5; by Philip, John 14:8; by Judas, John 14:22).

And not to the world (kai ouxi tw kosmw). Judas caught at the word emfanizw in verse John 14:21 as perhaps a Messianic theophany visible to all the world as at the judgment (John 5:27 f.). He seems to suspect a change of plan on the part of Jesus (ti gegonen oti=how has it happened that).
