Overview

This New Testament commentary series reflects this objective of explaining and applying Scripture. Some commentaries are primarily linguistic, others are mostly theological, and some are mainly homiletical. This one is basically explanatory, or expository. It is not linguistically technical but deals with linguistics when that seems helpful to proper interpretation. It is not theologically expansive but focuses on the major doctrines in each text and how they relate to the whole of Scripture. It is not primarily homiletical, although each unit of thought is generally treated as one chapter, with a clear outline and logical flow of thought. Most truths are illustrated and applied with other Scripture.

John 12–21 completes The MacArthur New Testament Commentary's coverage of this important book of the New Testament. This is a verse-by-verse and phrase-by-phrase treatment where the cultural and theological contexts of each passage are brought to bear on the interpretation of the text. Where relevant, the Old Testament is used to explain the passage, and controversy is never avoided. The fact that the new believer is often directed to study the gospel of John, and the mature believer never forsakes its study, gives this book special value.

“What Christ was actually saying is that any Christian can declare that those who genuinely repent and believe the gospel will have their sins forgiven by God. On the other hand, they can warn that those who reject Jesus Christ will die in their sins (8:24; Heb. 10:26–27).” (Page 382)

“The primary principle Jesus wanted the disciples to learn was the importance of humble, loving service.” (Page 68)

“Second, they also abide (remain; continue) in Christ’s love (v. 9). Finally, they operate in full cooperation with the source of life, keeping His commandments by following the perfect example of the Lord Jesus Christ, who always obeyed the Father (v. 10).” (Page 146)

“The Bible also identifies sacrificial love in meeting the needs of others as fruit.” (Page 149)

“Menō (‘abide’) describes something that remains where it is, continues in a fixed state, or endures. In this context the word refers to maintaining an unbroken communion with Jesus Christ. The Lord’s command ‘Abide in Me’ (v. 4) is primarily a plea to false disciples of Christ to repent and express true faith in Him. It also serves to encourage genuine believers to abide in Him in the fullest, deepest, most complete sense.” (Page 142)
