SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:31
Pero para que conozca el mundo que amo al Padre, y como el Padre me dio el mandamiento, así hago. Levantaos, vamos de aquí,
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 14:31
Verse 31. Arise, let us go hence.] Calmet supposes that Christ, having rendered thanks to God, and sung the usual hymn, Matt. xxvi. 30; Mark xiv. 26; rose from the table, left the city, and went towards the garden of Olives, or garden of Gethsemane, on the road to which, a part of the following discourse was delivered. It was now about midnight, and the moon was almost full, it being the 14th day of her age, about the time in which the Jewish passover was to be slain. THE reader should carefully note the conduct of our Lord. He goes to die as a SACRIFICE, out of love to mankind, in obedience to the Divine will, and with unshaken courage. All our actions should be formed on this plan.
They should have the love of God and man for their principle and motive; his glory for their end; and his will for their rule. He who lives and acts thus shall live for ever. Amen.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 31. But that the world may know , etc.] Not the wicked and unbelieving world, but the world of Gods elect, such as are brought to believe in Christ: that I love the Father ; Christ must needs love the Father, as being of the same nature and essence with him, and as standing in the relation of a son to him; he loved all that the Father loves, and approved of all his purposes, counsels, and determinations, concerning himself and the salvation of his people; and therefore he voluntarily laid down his life for them: and as the Father gave me commandment, so I do : as a son is obedient to a father, so was Christ in all things obedient to the commands of his heavenly Father, in preaching the Gospel, obeying the law, and suffering death; all which he did and suffered, as the Father gave commandment to him, as man and Mediator: and that it might fully appear how much he loved his Father, and agreed with him in all his designs of grace; how much his will was resigned to his, and what respect he paid to whatever he said or ordered; he said to his disciples, arise, let us go hence : not from the passover, or the supper, for the passover was not as yet, and the Lords supper was not instituted; nor in order to go to Mount Olivet, or to the garden, where Judas and his armed men would be to meet him, and lay hold on him, as is generally thought; but from Bethany, where he and his disciples now were, in order to go to Jerusalem and keep the passover, institute the supper, and then surrender himself into the hands of his enemies, and die for the sins of his people; for between this and the sermon in the following chapters, was the Lords supper celebrated; when Christ having mentioned the fruit of the vine, he should drink new with his disciples in his Fathers kingdom, he very pertinently enters upon the discourse concerning the vine and branches, with which the next chapter begins: the phrase is Jewish; so R. Jose and R.
Chiyah say to one another as they sat, hynw wq , arise, and let us go hence f609 .
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 28-31 - Christ raises the expectations of his disciples to something beyon what they thought was their greatest happiness. His time was now short he therefore spake largely to them. When we come to be sick, and to die, we may not be capable of talking much to those about us; such goo counsel as we have to give, let us give while in health. Observe the prospect Christ had of an approaching conflict, not only with men, but with the powers of darkness. Satan has something in us to perplex u with, for we have all sinned; but when he would disturb Christ, he found nothing sinful to help him. The best evidence of our love to the Father is, our doing as he has commanded us. Let us rejoice in the Saviour's victories over Satan the prince of this world. Let us cop the example of his love and obedience __________________________________________________________________

31. But that the world may know, etc. The connection in this verse is much disputed. Some explain, Arise, let us go hence, that the world may know that I love the Father, and that even as the Father commanded me so I do. Others, So I do, that the world may know - and even as the Father, etc. Others, again, take the opening phrase as elliptical, supplying either, he cometh, i.e., Satan, in order that the world may know - and that as the Father, etc.; or, I surrender myself to suffering and death that the world may know, etc. In this case, Arise, etc., will form, as in A.V. and Rev., an independent sentence. I incline to adopt this. The phrase ajll' ina, but in order that, with an ellipsis, is common in John. See i. 8, 31; ix. 3; xiii. 18; xv. 25; 1 John ii. 19.
