will be in (év) the consciousness of the soul”. The word however is currently used for outward manifestation ; although here the manifestation alluded to is inward. Cf. Judas’ words. The nature of the manifestation has already been explained, ver. 19.
Vv. 22-24. A fourth interruption, by ‘¥udas.—Ver. 22. All that Jesus has said has borne more and more clearly in upon the mind of the disciples the disappoint- ing conviction that the manifestation referred to is not to be on the expected Messianic lines. Accordingly Judas, not Iscariot, but Thaddaeus or Lebbaeus (Mt. κ. 3; Lk. vi. 16), says: τί yéyovev κ. τε A. ‘What has happened that,” etc. ? or, ‘“‘ What has occurred to deter- mine you,” etc.? Kypke quotes from Arrian apposite instances of the use of this expression. Judas expresses, no doubt, the thought of the rest. Was there to be no such public manifestation of Jesus as Messiah, as would convince the world?—Ver. 23. To this Jesus replies ἐάν τις . . . ποιήσοµεν. The answer explains that the manifestation, being spiritual, must be individual and to those spiritually prepared. ‘It con- templates not a public discovery of power, but a sort of domestic visitation of love.” Bernard. πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐλενσό- µεθα, “to him we will come”; Jesus without scruple unites Himself with the Father. μονὴν . . . ποιησόµεθα, a classi- cal expression. see Thuc., i. 131, μονὴν . ToLovpevos. ““Wewill make our abode with him, will be daily his guests, yea, house and table companions.”’ Luther in Meyer. povy is here used in a sense different from that of ver. 2, .where it means a place to abide in.—Ver. 24. The necessity of love as a condition of
this manifested presence is further em- phasised by stating the converse, 6 py ἀγαπῶν pe... watpds. The κόσμος of ver. 22 is here more closely ἀεβπεά by 6 μὴ ἀγαπῶν px. See Holtzmann.
Vv. 25-31. The conversation closed by bequest of peace. The genuineness of this report of the last words of Jesus is guaranteed by the frequency with which He seems to be on the point of breaking off. The constant resumption, the add- ing of things that occur on the moment, these are the inimitable touch of nature. At this point the close seems imminent. —Ver. 25. Tatra λελάληκα . . . µένων, implying that this abiding and teaching were now at an end.—Ver. 26, But His teaching would be continued and com- pleted by the Paraclete: ὁ δὲ παρά- κλητος . . . ὑμῖν. The Paraclete is now identified with τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον, and His connection with Christ is further guaranteed by the clause 6 wépwWer ὁ πατὴρ ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί pov, “which the Father will send in my name,” that is, as representing me and promoting my interests. And this He will accomplish by teaching: ἐκεῖνος “He,” and no longer the visible Christ, ‘‘ will teach you all things,” πάντα in contrast to the ταῦτα (νετ. 25) with which Christ had to be satisfied; but wavra must itself be limited by the needs and capacities of the disciples.—xal ὑπομνήσει . . . “and will bring to your remembrance all that I said to you,” that is, the teaching of the Spirit should so connect itself with the teaching of Christ as to revive the memory of forgotten words of His, and give them a new meaning. Cf. especiaily XVi. 12-14.—Ver. 27. εἰρήνην ἀφίημι ὑμῖν, ‘‘ peace I bequeath to you”. The usual farewell was given with the word
