John 14:30 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

I shall not have much time hereafter to reveal my mind to you, my suffering is very near; the devil, who is the prince of this world, See Poole on "1 Thessalonians 12:31", See Poole on "1 Thessalonians 16:11" and See Poole on "Ephesians 6:12" he cometh by the evil angels, or rather by vile and wicked men, as his instruments, Judas and the soldiers. He doth not say wherefore he came, but it is easily understood. And he hath nothing in me that he can justly fault, and take advantage against me, for he findeth no guilt in me to give him any advantage against me; I shall die as an innocent person, and be cut off, but not for myself, (as it was prophesied of the Messiah, Daniel 9:26), but (as it is there, 1 Thessalonians 14:24), to finish transgression, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness.
