SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:17

Al Espíritu de Verdad, al cual el mundo no puede recibir, porque no le ve, ni le conoce; pero vosotros le conocis; porque permanece con vosotros, y ser en vosotros.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 14:17

Verse 17. The Spirit of
truth] The Spirit, or Holy Ghost, whose essential office is to manifest, vindicate, and apply the truth. The Gospel of Christ may be thus called, because it exposes falsity, removes error, and teaches the knowledge of the true God-shows the way to him, saves from vanity and illusive hopes, and establishes solid happiness in the souls of those who believe.

The world cannot receive] By the world, St. John means those who are influenced only by the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eye, and the pride of life, 1 John ii. 16. Now these cannot receive the Spirit of the truth, because they see him not, have no spiritual discernment, attend to nothing but the dictates of their corrupt passions and affections, and will admit of no influence but what can be an object of their senses. Hence all the deign and irreligion in the world. God, in the operation of his hands, and in the influences of his Spirit, is found every where except in the perverted passions of men. In these alone do men of corrupt minds seek him; here only he is not to be found, and therefore they become infidels and atheists.

But ye know him] Ye have already received a measure of the truth, and ye believe in this Spirit. Probably our Lord refers to the knowledge which they should afterwards attain: in this sense the passage has been understood by the Vulgate, Nonnus, and two copies of the Itala, which read, Ye SHALL know him.

For he dwelleth with you] Or, as the AEthiopic, Vulgate, Nonnus, and six copies of the Itala read, he shall dwell with you, (see above;) and this, it is very evident, is the meaning of the evangelist, who not unfrequently uses the present for the future tense. It is certain the Holy Spirit was not yet given to the disciples so as to dwell in them; this St. John himself assures us, chap. vii. 39. And it is evidently of that Spirit and its influences, which was not given till the day of pentecost, that our Lord here speaks.


John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 17. Even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive , etc.] These words explain who is meant by the Comforter, even the Spirit of truth; the true Spirit of God, the dictator of the Scriptures of truth, who leads men into the truths of the Gospel, confirms them in them, and gives boldness and freedom to own, and confess them before men: whom the world cannot receive ; the men of the world, who are as they came into the world, carnal and natural men, can neither receive the Spirit nor the things of the Spirit, the truths and doctrines of the Gospel; they can neither receive them into their understandings, nor into their affections; and indeed, because they cannot understand them, therefore they do not love them, but despise and hate them: because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him ; the world, and the men of it, can neither see him with their bodily eyes, because he is a spirit; nor know him with their understandings, because he is the Spirit of truth, which they are ignorant of, for want of a spiritual discerning. But ye know him ; as a spirit of illumination, regeneration, and conversion: for he dwelleth with you ; he is an inhabitant in your hearts, he has taken up his residence in you as his temples: and shall be in you ; as a Comforter, when I am gone from you; and as a spirit of truth to guide you into all truth, to stand by you, and assist you in preaching it, and to enable you to bear a faithful and glorious testimony for it.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 12-17 - Whatever we ask in
Christ's name, that shall be for our good, an suitable to our state, he shall give it to us. To ask in Christ's name is to plead his merit and intercession, and to depend upon that plea The gift of the Spirit is a fruit of Christ's mediation, bought by his merit, and received by his intercession. The word used here, signifie an advocate, counsellor, monitor, and comforter. He would abide with the disciples to the end of time; his gifts and graces would encourag their hearts. The expressions used here and elsewhere, plainly denote person, and the office itself includes all the Divine perfections. The gift of the Holy Ghost is bestowed upon the disciples of Christ, an not on the world. This is the favour God bears to his chosen. As the source of holiness and happiness, the Holy Spirit will abide with ever believer for ever.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

17. The Spirit of
Truth. "A most exquisite title," says Bengel. The Spirit, who has the truth, reveals it, by knowledge in the understanding; confers it by practical proof and taste in the will; testifies of it to others also through those to whom He has revealed it; and defends that truth, of which ch. i. 17 speaks, grace and truth.... The truth makes all our virtues true. Otherwise there is a kind of false knowledge, false faith, false hope, false love; but there is no such thing as false truth."

The world. See on i. 9.

Shall be in you. Some editors read, ejstin, is in you.
