John 16:15

John 16:15 in Multiple Translations

Everything that belongs to the Father is Mine. That is why I said that the Spirit will take from what is Mine and disclose it to you.

All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

All things whatsoever the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he taketh of mine, and shall declare it unto you.

Everything which the Father has is mine: that is why I say, He will take of what is mine and will make it clear to you.

All that belongs to the Father is mine. This is why I said that the Spirit teaches you whatever he receives from me.

All thinges that the Father hath, are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shewe it vnto you.

'All things, as many as the Father hath, are mine; because of this I said, That of mine He will take, and will tell to you;

All things that the Father has are mine; therefore I said that he takes of mine and will declare it to you.

All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore I said, that he will take of mine, and show it to you.

All things whatsoever the Father hath, are mine. Therefore I said, that he shall receive of mine, and shew it to you.

Everything that my Father has is mine. That is why I said that the Spirit is able to reveal my truth to you.”

You see, everything my father has is mine too. So my father’s true message is my message too. That is the reason why I said that I will give my message to the Holy Spirit, and he will tell it to you.”

John 16:15 Summary

Jesus is saying that everything the Father has is also His, and the Spirit will take from Jesus' wisdom and teachings and share them with us. This means that as believers, we have access to the same wisdom and knowledge that Jesus has, and the Spirit will help us understand it. As Jesus promised in John 10:10, He came to give us 'life to the full,' and this includes the fullness of His wisdom and teachings. By trusting in Jesus and the Spirit, we can experience the richness of God's wisdom and love in our lives, just as Jesus experienced it with the Father.

Gill's Exposition on John 16:15

All things that the Father hath are mine,.... Though it is true that the same divine nature the Father is possessed of, the Son is; and the same divine perfections belong to the one, as to the other;

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on John 16:15

All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on John 16:15

All the Divine essence, wisdom, power, which is in the Father, are mine; I am, in all things that concern the Deity, one and equal with the Father; and that was the reason that I said that he should take of mine, and show it to you; which is the same as if I had said, he shall take of my Father’ s, and shall show it to you; for all that the Father hath is mine; I and my Father are one in essence, wisdom, power, &c.

Trapp's Commentary on John 16:15

15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. Ver. 15. All things that the Father hath, &c.] So that if we can but marry the heir, we have all. The Father saith unto him, as he did to his eldest son, Luke 15:31; "Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine;" therefore we may go boldly to him for all things needful for life and godliness. When Joseph sent to Jacob, that Pharaoh had put all into his hands, he was not a little comforted that one so near to him in nature was so able to accommodate him. Let us also come boldly to the throne of grace, since our flesh and blood hath all power to do us good. Christ, as mediator, is able to make all grace abound toward us, that we "always, having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work," 2 Corinthians 8:8. Well might Ignatius say, Ignis, crux, et diaboli tormenta in me verdant, tantummodo ut Iesum nanciscar. The fire, the troubles and the torments of the devil change me, only merely so I may find Jesus.

Ellicott's Commentary on John 16:15

(15) All things that the Father hath are mine.—He has told them that the Spirit’s work is to glorify Him, to receive of His, and announce to the world. The ground of this saying is in the fact that the Son is the Revealer of the Father, and that the fulness of the truth (John 16:13) is given unto Him. The words appear from the context not to express the spiritual relation of the Son to the Father, but the fulness of the communication to Him in His human nature of the divine truth which He should reveal to man. (Comp. Notes on John 1:18; John 8:42; John 10:36; John 17:10; Matthew 11:27; Colossians 1:19; Colossians 2:2-3.) He shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.—Better, He taketh of Mine, and shall declare it unto you. The present expresses the unchanging relation of the Spirit to the Son. It should be noted that in these verses (14 and 15) there is an implication of the following doctrinal truths. They are implied, let us remember, in the words of our Lord Himself, and that they are implied and not stated increases the force of their meaning:—(1) The divinity of the Son: “He shall glorify Me;” “All things that the Father hath are Mine.” (2) The personality of the Holy Ghost: “He shall receive of Mine.” The Greek word, ἐ ?êåῖ ?õïò, expresses this in the most emphatic way. The word is used of the Holy Spirit in John 16:8; John 16:13, and in John 14:26; John 15:26. (3) The Trinity in Unity, and Unity in Trinity: “the Father;” “I;” “He.”

Adam Clarke's Commentary on John 16:15

Verse 15. All things that the Father hath are mine] If Christ had not been equal to God, could he have said this without blasphemy? And show it unto you.] As Christ is represented the Ambassador of the Father, so the Holy Spirit is represented the ambassador of the Son, coming vested with his authority, as the interpreter and executor of his will.

Cambridge Bible on John 16:15

15. All things] Literally, All things whatsoever: comp. John 17:10.therefore said I] For this cause (John 12:18; John 12:27) said I: see on John 5:16; John 5:18.shall take] Better, taketh: the Spirit is already revealing the Truth which is both of the Father and of the Son.

Barnes' Notes on John 16:15

All things ... - See Matthew 28:18; Matthew 11:27. No one could have said this who was not equal with the Father.

Whedon's Commentary on John 16:15

15. All things that the Father hath—How stupendous is this all! Omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence, eternity, all these the Father hath, and, therefore, the Son.
