Whom I will send. . .This proves, against the modern Greeks, that the
Holy Ghost proceedeth from the Son, as well as from the Father:
otherwise he could not be sent by the Son.
15:27. And you shall give testimony, because you are with me from the
beginning.
John Chapter 16
The conclusion of Christ's last discourse to his disciples.
16:1. These things have I spoken to you things have I spoken to you
that you may not be scandalized.
16:2. They will put you out of the synagogues: yea, the hour cometh,
that whosoever killeth you will think that he doth a service to God.
16:3. And these things will they do to you; because they have not known
the Father nor me.
16:4. But these things I have told you, that when the hour shall come,
you may remember that I told you of them.
16:5. But I told you not these things from the beginning, because I was
with you. And now I go to him that sent me, and none of you asketh me:
Whither goest thou?
16:6. But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow hath filled
your heart.
16:7. But I tell you the truth: it is expedient to you that I go. For
if I go not, the Paraclete will not come to you: but if I go, I will
send him to you.
16:8. And when he is come, he will convince the world of sin and of
justice and of judgment.
He will convince the world of sin, etc. . .The Holy Ghost, by his coming
brought over many thousands, first, to a sense of their sin in not
believing in Christ. Secondly, to a conviction of the justice of
Christ, now sitting at the right hand of his Father. And thirdly, to a
right apprehension of the judgment prepared for them that choose to
follow Satan, who is already judged and condemned.
16:9. Of sin: because they believed not in me.
16:10. And of justice: because I go to the Father: and you shall see me
no longer.
16:11. And of judgment: because the prince of this world is already
judged.
16:12. I have yet many things to say to you: but you cannot bear them
now.
16:13. But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will teach you all
truth. For he shall not speak of himself: but what things soever he
shall hear, he shall speak. And the things that are to come, he shall
shew you.
Will teach you all truth. . .See the annotation on chap. 14. ver. 26.
16:14. He shall glorify me: because he shall receive of mine and shall
shew it to you.
16:15. All things whatsoever the Father hath are mine. Therefore I said
that he shall receive of me and shew it to you.
16:16. A little while, and now you shall not see me: and again a little
while, and you shall see me: because I go to the Father.
16:17. Then some of his disciples said one to another: What is this
that he saith to us: A little while, and you shall not see me: and
again a little while, and you shall see me, and, Because I go to the
Father?
16:18. They said therefore: What is this that he saith, A little while?
We know not what he speaketh.
