And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again - strictly, at His Second Personal Appearing; but, in a secondary and comforting sense, to each individually, when he puts off this tabernacle, sleeping in Jesus, but his spirit "present with the Lord."
And receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. Mark here again the extent of the claim which Jesus makes-at His Second Coming to receive His people to Himself (see the notes at Ephesians 5:27; Colossians 1:22; Jude 1:24), that where He is, there they may be also. He thinks it quite enough to re-assure them, to say that where He is, there they shall be.
