This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
He shall glorify me; for he shall receive of mine and show it unto you - Thus the whole design of the Spirit’s office is to glorify Christ - not in His own Person, for this was done by the Father when He exalted Him to His own right hand - but in the view and estimation of men. For this purpose He was to “receive of Christ” - all the truth relating to Christ - “and show it unto them,” or make them to discern it in its own light. The subjective nature of the Spirit’s teaching - the discovery to the souls of men of what is Christ outwardly - is here very clearly expressed; and, at the same time, the vanity of looking for revelations of the Spirit which shall do anything beyond throwing light in the soul upon what Christ Himself is, and taught, and did upon earth.
