John 16:14

John 16:14

12 “I still have many things to say to you, ^abut you cannot bear them now.

13 However, when He, ^athe Spirit of truth, has come, ^bHe will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

14 ^aHe will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.

15 ^aAll things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He¹ will take of Mine and declare it to you.

Sorrow Will Turn to Joy

16 “A ^alittle while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me, ^bbecause I go to the Father.”

17 Then some of His disciples said among themselves, “What is this that He says to us, ‘A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me’; and, ‘because I go to the Father’?”

Barnes' Notes

<< John 16:13

John 16:15 >>

Shall glorify me - Shall honor me. The nature of his influence shall be such as to exalt my character and work in view of the mind.

Shall receive of mine - Literally, "shall take of or from me." He shall receive his commission and instructions as an ambassador from me, to do my will and complete my work.

Shall show it - Shall announce or communicate it to you. This is always the work of the Spirit. All serious impressions produced by him lead to the Lord Jesus I Corinthians 12:3, and by this we may easily test our feelings. If we have been truly convicted of sin and renewed by the Holy Spirit, the tendency of all his influences has been to lead us to the Saviour; to show us our need of him; to reveal to us the loveliness of his character, and the fitness of his work to our needs; and to incline us to cast our eternal interests on his almighty arm, and commit all to his hands.
