Se trata de una sección que en la estructura narrativa del evangelio comienza justo después del anuncio de la traición de Judas y concluye poco antes del arresto de Jesús. El discurso como un todo sirve … Continue reading “San Juan 14:23-29 Comentario por Nancy Elizabeth Bedford”

“La paz os dejo, mi paz os doy; yo no os la doy como el mundo la da. No se turbe vuestro corazón ni tenga miedo… El que me ama, mi palabra guardará; y mi Padre lo amará, y vendremos a él y haremos morada con él” (Jn 14: 27,23). Escuchamos promesas de Dios.

In the last evening he spends with the disciples before his death, Jesus tries to show them two elements of reality that are difficult to hold together: he is going away, yet he will not leave them orphaned. As they listen, the disciples have questions. Peter (John 13:36), Thomas (John 14:5), Philip (John 14:8), and … Continue reading “John 14:23-29 Commentary by Mary Hinkle Shore”

When Jesus departs from his disciples, there will be significant changes and this text makes a promise that despite this fact the disciples will not be left alone. This is a promise that surely made a huge difference to those for whom Jesus’ departure is both immanent and potentially confusing. Part of that preparation included … Continue reading “John 14:23-29 Commentary by Karyn Wiseman”

This passage is part of Jesus’ farewell discourse to his disciples on the night before his death, a discourse punctuated by the anxious questions of his disciples about his impending departure. First Peter (John 13:36), then Thomas (14:5), then Phillip (14:8), and then Judas (not Iscariot) (14:22) ask for clarification about what Jesus is telling … Continue reading “John 14:23-29 Commentary by Elisabeth Johnson”

“No os dejaré huérfanos” Al experimentar en la cotidianidad de la vida momentos de despedida, casi siempre anhelamos volver a ver a las personas de las que nos separamos. Por eso decimos: “regresaré pronto,” o “nos veremos luego,” o algunas veces incluso dejamos algo como muestra de nuestro cariño, como regalos, recuerdos, etc. Jesús promete … Continue reading “San Juan 14:15-21 Comentario por Ismael León”

This passage picks up where last week’s reading left off. Jesus continues to deliver his Farewell Discourse (chs. 14-17), preparing his disciples for his departure and their receipt of the Holy Spirit. In this brief but powerful passage, Jesus reiterates his favorite theme: love. He also promises the Holy Spirit. Finally, Jesus emphasizes the intimate … Continue reading “John 14:15-21 Commentary by Jaime Clark-Soles”

The Spirit plays an essential role in Christian faith and yet is something many find hard to deal with in preaching. The art in our churches pictures episodes from Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. But the Spirit is more challenging to portray. The Spirit’s dove may hover above Jesus on stained glass windows, but the … Continue reading “John 14:15-21 Commentary by Craig R. Koester”

Jesus never stopped talking, in case you were wondering. While the lectionary came to a halt at 14:14 last week, Jesus didn’t and so we pick up where we left off. This section of text first introduces the Holy Spirit as the Advocate in John’s Gospel. It is important to note that a sustained discussion … Continue reading “John 14:15-21 Commentary by Karoline Lewis”
