This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
No longer (ouketi). As he had done in Joh 13:16. He was their Rabbi (Joh 1:38; Joh 13:13) and Lord (Joh 13:13). Paul gloried in calling himself Christ’s doulos (bond-slave).
Servants (doulous). Bond-servants, slaves.
I have called you friends (humas eirēka philous). Perfect active indicative, permanent state of new dignity. They will prove worthy of it by continued obedience to Christ as Lord, by being good douloi. Abraham was called the Friend of God (Jam 2:23). Are we friends of Christ?
