Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 3. - And if I go and if I prepare a place for you - a simple condition, soon to be realized by the event - I come again; I am ever coming, as I am now about to explain to you, (1) in my resurrection (John 16:16, 17); (2) in the bestowment of the Comforter (Vers. 17, 25, 26; John 16:7, etc.); (3) in the intimate relations which, through the power of the Spirit (Vers. 18, 23), . . .

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(3) And if I go and prepare . . .--For the form of the expression, comp. Notes on John 12:32, and 1John 2:28. It does not imply uncertainty, but expresses that the fact is in the region of the future, which is clear to Him, and will unfold itself to them.I will come again, and receive you unto myself.--This clause has been variously explained of the resurrection; of the death of individual disciples; of the spiritual presence of our Lord in the Church; of the coming again of the Lord in the Parousia of the last day, when all who believe in Him shall be received unto Himself. The difficulty has arisen from taking the words "I will come again," as necessarily referring to the same time as those which follow--"I will receive you unto Myself," whereas they are in the present tense, and should be literally rendered, I am coming again. They refer rather, as the same words refer when used in John 14:18, to His constant spiritual presence in their midst; whereas the reception of them to Himself is to be understood of the complete union which will accompany that spiritual presence; a union which will be commenced in this life, advanced by the death of individuals, and completed in the final coming again. (Comp. John 17:24.)
