This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
These things I have spoken unto you - not the immediately preceding words, but this whole discourse, of which these were the very last words, and which He thus winds up.
that in me ye might have peace - in the sublime sense before explained. (See on Joh 14:27).
In the world ye shall have tribulation - specially arising from its deadly opposition to those who “are not of the world, but chosen out of the world.” So that the “peace” promised was far from an unruffled one.
I have overcome the world - not only before you, but for you, that ye may be able to do the same (1Jo 5:4, 1Jo 5:5).
