19. *Yet a little while.* This we understand of the few hours that remained till His death. After that, the world should see Him no longer. But, He adds, you shall see Me (present for future); not, indeed, with the eyes of the body, but with those of the soul; because I live (the present being used, perhaps, of His Divine life, in virtue of which He was to resume the life of the body), and you shall live the life of grace, which will be rewarded by the vision of Me. Thus he tells them that they shall live a spiritual life, a kind of participation in His own glorious life (vi. 57), and that for this reason they shall be privileged to see Him spiritually. That there is question of spiritual vision, is proved, we believe, from what follows; for they shall see according as He shall manifest Himself (verse 21); and this manifestation of Himself He explains in verse 23 of His abiding in them. 20. In illo die vos 20. In that day you shall know cognoscetis quia ego sum in that I am in my Father, and Patre meo, et vos in me, et you in me, and I in you. ego in vobis. 20. In that time, after I have come to you at Pentecost (together with the Holy Ghost), you shall know clearly that I am in My Father, that I am God, and that you are in Me as its branches in the vine (see below, xv. 2), deriving all your spiritual life from Me, and I in you by a _special indwelling_ enjoyed only by the just. See above on vii. 39. If there be a comparison here between the mutual indwelling of the Father and Son on the one hand, and that of Christ and the just on the other, it is plain that the likeness is only imperfect and analogical. Yet such texts as this (see also vi. 58; xvii. 21, 23), even when we make all necessary allowance for the imperfection of the likeness, prove clearly how marvellously intimate and sacred is the union that exists between Christ and the souls of the just. 21. Qui habet mandata mea, et 21. He that hath my servat ea, ille est, qui commandments, and keepeth diligit me. Qui autem diligit them: he it is that loveth me. me, diligetur a Patre meo: et And he that loveth me, shall ego diligam eum, et manifestab be loved of my Father: and I o ei meipsum. will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 21. *He that hath* (ὁ ἔχων) *my commandments, and keepeth them*, &c. Not only to the Apostles, but to all that love Him, Christ will manifest Himself, for in and with the Holy Ghost He and His Father will come and abide in them.
