Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Here are healing words in the comforts he administers to them for their support under those troubles, which are five:-- 1. That he would send them the Comforter,

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

These things I have spoken to you. He again states that none of those things which he has spoken are superfluous; for, since wars and contests await them, it is necessary that they should be provided beforehand with the necessary arms. Yet he also means that, if they meditate deeply on this doctrine, they will be fully prepared for resistance.

John Calvin· Commentaries, 1554reformed

The disciples of Christ are apt to be offended at the cross; and the offence of the cross is a dangerous temptation, even to good men, to turn back from the ways of God, or turn aside out of them, or drive on heavily in them; to quit either their integrity or their comfort. It is not for nothing that a suffering time is called an hour of temptation.
