Note on John

John

Chap. XIII. Ch XIV

Vague and contradictory discourse

XIII 36 Peter. ‘Lord whither goest thou?'

Jesus ‘Whither I go, thou must not follow after wards me now: but thou shalt follow me afterwards.’

Conf. XIV. 4. ‘Whither I go ye know, and the 'way ye know.’ ib. 5.

Thomas ‘Lord we know not whither thou goest, and how can we know the way.’

(6) Jesus. I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no man cometh to the Father, but through me.’

Ch. XIV. 1. ‘Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God: believe also in me.’

Here then Jesus and God are distinct persons.

ib. V. 8. Philip saith unto him Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. (9.)

Jesus. Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me Philip? He that hath seen me hath seen the Father.

John

Ch. XIV.

Throughout this Chapter Jesus is sometimes one identical with the Father, sometimes different.

XIV. 28. ‘For my Father is greater than I.

ib. 31 ‘as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do.

ib. 24. ‘The word which you hear is not mine but the Father’s who sent me.’

Yet in v. 10. 11 it has been said Believest though not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak unto you, I speak not of myself: but the Father, that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

v. 11. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me:…

V. 26. The comforter the Holy Ghost if a separate being is an inferior and dependent one. V. 26. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance.

John Ch. XV

V. 1. to 8. Allusive parable Jesus the Vine, his disciples its branches

9. Jesus an object of love to the Father: ergo different.

10. Jesus ‘even as I have kept my father’s commandments, and abide in his love.’ Ergo inferior.

XV When the Comforter is come, whom I shall send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth which proceedeth from the Father he shall testify of me.

Ch. XIII v. 36. Peter Lord Whither goest thou?

Ch. XVI. 5. to 16 different chapter but same conversation. Jesus. ‘Now I go my way to him that sent me, and none of you asketh me whither goest thou?

Thus on all subjects the talking backwards and forwards is perpetual.

Vague and self contradictory generalities which to recount them are to must be understood sometimes literally, sometimes figuratively: according to the purpose which is to be answered.

Ch XVI 16 to 24. You shall see me and you shall not see me &c.

25. ‘Now proverbs, soon, plain speech.

26 to 33. the last He says he leaves the world and goes to the Father: say they—you now speak plainly: nonsense on both sides.

N.B. verse to exactly this same effect at the beginning of the chapter after which they made no such observation All this is to shew that he foresees his approaching end

Ch. XVII

1. to 26 (the last). Prayer of Jesus to the Father — disciples as before present — Vague stuff about I in thee and thou in me, and glorification given by the father to Jesus and by Jesus to them

9. ‘I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me: more and more tending to keep up their attachment

Ch. XVIII. XIX. XX. XXI. Arrestation, Death Ascension &c added to the Harmony of the three other Evangelists

Ch. XXI is the last

    John XXI. 1. to 7. After these things

    After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.

    There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the Sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.

    Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.

    But when the morning was now come Jesus stood on the shore; but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.

    Then Jesus saith unto them, Children have yes any meat? They answered him No.

    And he saith unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.

    Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord he girt his fishers coat unto him (for he was naked) and did cast himself into the sea.

    John XXI. 20 to 24. Then Peter turning about seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper; and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?

    [Greek to be supplied]

    Peter seeing him saith to Jesus Lord, and what shall this man do?

    Jesus saith unto him, if I will that he tarry till I come? what is that to thee? follow thou me.

    Then went this saying abroad amongst the brethren that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die: but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what {is that} to thee?

    This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.

    Mark XIV. 46. ‘And they’ (Judas with his multitude) had their hands on him and took him. 47. And one of them that stood by, drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.’ v. 50. ‘And they all forsook him and fled. v. 51. And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body, and the young man laid hold on him. 52. And he left the linen cloth and fled from him naked.’

    I. Cor. IV. 15 to 26. For though you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the Gospel.

    16. Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.

    17. For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every Church.

    18. Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.

    19. But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.

    20. For the kingdom of God, is not in word, but in power.

    21. What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love and in the spirit of meekness?

    I. Cor. V. 1 to 13. 1. It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one sh d have his father’s wife.

    2. And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.

    3. For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present concerning him that hath so done this deed,

    4. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

    5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

    6. Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?

    7. Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:

    8. Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness: but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

    9. I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators.

    10. Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with y e covetous, or extortioners, or with idolators; for then must ye needs go out of the world.

    11. But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

    12. For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?

    13 But them that are without God judgeth. therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
