John 14:31 Commentary - Garner-Howes Baptist Commentary
1) "But that the world may know," (all' hina gno ho kosmos) "But in order that the world may realize," recognize or come to know with a certainty.
2) "That I love the Father;"- (hoti agapo ton patera) "That I love (with a priority) the Father," who sent me to seek and save the lost, Joh 3:16-17; Luk 19:10; Joh 10:18.
3) "And as the Father gave me commandment," (kai kathos eneteilato moi ho pater) "And just as the Father commanded me," Joh 10:18; Joh 17:4; Gal 4:4-5.
4) "Even so I do." (houtos poio) "Thus I do," go forth to give my life for the world, on behalf of the lost world, as a sheep goes uncomplainingly to the slaughter, Isa 53:3 -12; Joh 1:29; Php_2:8. Jesus was no mere victim of a blood-thirsty, grisly, murder-mob. He could have called a legion of angels to rescue Him, had He not come to give Himself a ransom for many, a sacrifice for all, and to do the Father's will, Joh 6:38; Heb 10:7; Psa 40:8.
5) "Arise, let us go hence." (egeiresthe agomen enteuthen) "Rise up , let us go hence," go out from hereto meet the foe, to greet the messengers whose clever designs but hasten me on my way back to my Father's estate, from which I came down, 2Co 8:9; Eph 4:8-11. The words seem to have been spoken by our Lord in Gethsemane, just before Satan's hounds came howling up the hill through the darkness of the night, led by Judas Iscariot, to seize Him and seal His sentence of death before sunrise, and the people who had come up to the Passover feast were on the move the following morning, Mat 26:46-56; Mar 14:42-50; Luk 22:47-53; Joh 18:1-12.
