John 16:15 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take, х leempsetai (G2983), as in John 16:14] - or, according to what appears the better supported reading, 'receiveth' х lambanei (G2983)], a lively way of saying 'He is just about to receive'

Of mine, and shall show it unto you. A plainer expression than this of absolute community with the Father in all things cannot be conceived, although the "all things" here have reference to the things of the Kingdom of Grace, which the Spirit was to receive that He might show them to us. We have here a wonderful glimpse into the inner relations of the Godhead. The design of this explanation seems to be to prevent any mistake as to the relations which He sustained to the Father.
