John 14:19

John 14:19

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Yet a little while—a few hours only—and the world—which cannot take from you (or even appreciate or receive) the Holy Spirit—beholdeth me no more. Their power of beholding me will be gone by their own act, they will have cursed and driven me away with the hellish cry, "Crucify him!"

they will have slain and buried me out of their sight; but, notwithstanding this, you, by my coming to you in the power of the Spirit, will veritably behold me. Even more than this, because I live though I die, ye shall live also, in your intense spiritual apperception of my continuity of life, of which you will have ocular and spiritual guarantee.

Jesus here passed over the concrete fact of the Resurrection, to return to it afterwards.
