Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
Ver. 15. I call you not servants] And yet it was the top of David's titles, to be the servant of the Lord; and the height of his ambition, to be a doorkeeper in his house. All his servants are sons, and all his sons heirs.
But I have called you friends] It was a high honour of old to be the king's friend. Such honour have all his saints: Christ doth freely unbosom himself unto them.
