This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
1. μὴ ταρασσέσθω ὑ. ἡ. κ. There had been much to cause anxiety and alarm; the denouncing of the traitor, the declaration of Christ’s approaching departure, the prediction of S. Peter’s denial. The last as being nearest might seem to be specially indicated; but what follows shews that μὴ ταρασσέσθω refers primarily to ὅπου ἐγὼ ὑπάγω, ὑμεῖς οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν (Joh 13:33). There is nothing to shew that one πιστεύετε is indicative and the other imperative. Probably both are imperative like ταρασσέσθω: comp. Joh 5:39, Joh 12:19, Joh 15:18. In any case a full genuine belief and trust (Joh 1:12) in God leads to a belief and trust in His Son.
