This is the glory of the Holy Spirit, to glorify Jesus Christ. For he shall take of mine (hoti ek tou emou lêmpsetai). Future middle of lambanô and a definite promise of the Spirit's guidance in interpreting Christ. One need only refer to Peter's sermon at pentecost after the coming of the Holy Spirit, to Peter's Epistles, to Paul's Epistles, to Hebrews, to John's Epistles, to see how under the tutelage of the Holy Spirit the disciples grew into the fulness of the knowledge of God in the face of Christ (2Co 6:4).   William Burkitt's Notes: Here Christ shews the advantage which would redound to himself by the coming of the Comforter; he declares that the Spirit should glorify him by his testimony, gifts, and miracles, and shall in all things accord with him, and thereby evidence that he hath his mission from him: He shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. And, all things that the Father hath are mine. Hence learn, that, although the union in essence amongst the persons in the Trinity is the same, yet the order of their subsistence and operation is distinct: the Son being from the Father, and the Holy Ghost from the Father and the Son; For all things that the Father hath are mine; And the Spirit shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. Observe farther, that these words afford a strong argument to prove the divinity of Christ: All things which my Father hath are mine. Where Christ challenges to himself the incommunicable attributes of God, and consequently that essence which is inseparable from them. Doth the Father know the secrets of all hearts? So doth Christ, All the churches shall know that I am he that searcheth the reins and hearts. Re 2:23 Is the Father eternal? So is Christ, I was set up from everlasting, &c. Pr 8:23   Family Bible Notes:  Glorify me; the effect of his teaching would be to honor the Saviour. Shall receive of mine; or, shall take of mine--shall take of the things that pertain to my person and work, which is the same thing as taking of things that pertain to the Father, since the Father and the Son are one in nature and counsel, and the Father has committed all things to the Son. These words give us one of the decisive tests by which true teaching may be distinguished from that which is false. All true teaching agrees with the testimony of the Holy Spirit in glorifying Christ.   1599 Geneva Bible Notes: The Holy Spirit brings no new doctrine, but teaches that which was uttered by Christ's own mouth, and imprints it in our minds.   People's New Testament Commentary: "All things that the Father hath are mine," and the Spirit "shall receive of mine and shew it to you." "These three are one" [1Jo 5:7]; a striking illustration of the unity of the Godhead. They are so united that what proceeds from one proceeds from all.   Albert Barnes' Commentary:   Shall glorify me. Shall honour me. The nature of his influence shall be such as to exalt my character and work in view of the mind. Shall receive of mine. Literally, "shall take of or from me." He shall receive his commission and instructions as an ambassador from me, to do my will and complete my work. Shall show it. Shall announce or communicate it to you. This is always the work of the Spirit. All serious impressions produced by him lead to the Lord Jesus (1Co 12:3), and by this we may easily test our feelings. If we have been truly convicted of sin and renewed by the Holy Ghost, the tendency of all his influences has been to lead us to the Saviour; to show us our need of him; to reveal to us the loveliness of his character, and the fitness of his work to our wants; and to incline us to cast our eternal interests on his almighty arm, and commit all to his hands.   Jamieson-Faussett Brown:   Shall glorify me. Shall honour me. The nature of his influence shall be such as to exalt my character and work in view of the mind. Shall receive of mine. Literally, "shall take of or from me." He shall receive his commission and instructions as an ambassador from me, to do my will and complete my work. Shall show it. Shall announce or communicate it to you.
