This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Joh 14:30. Οὐκ ἔτι, no longer henceforth) For which reason ye ought the more diligently to hold fast these things which I speak.-ἔρχεται, cometh) is already now coming: having been “cast out,” ch. Joh 12:31, he rushes upon Me. So afterwards he assailed the women spoken of in Rev 12:9; Rev 12:13.-γὰρ, for) The enemy, as being already in the act of making his assault, either on account of the shortness of the time did not suffer Him to speak more, or he ought not to hear the Lord’s words; or, had more been said to the disciples, he might have snatched it from them.-κόσμου, of the world) Even then the prince of the world agitated (influenced) the world, when the world, in compliance with its prince, crucified Christ.-καὶ, and) and cannot prevent Me from going from the world straightway to the Father.-ἐν ἐμοὶ, in Me) although Jesus was now approaching death, of which the devil in other respects had the power.-οὐδὲν, nothing) no share of claim (right) or power over Me. The righteousness of Christ was perfect: a becoming protestation. Here Jesus gets rid of (removes out of the way) the prince of the world; in the second and closing part of this discourse, He gets rid of the world; ch. Joh 16:33, “In the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
