NOTE: John 13-17 starts the 5th series of Panin’s Interlinear Greek New Testament.
I link it with Simeon, the second son of Jacob, who his mother Leah named “hearing”, and had this in mind: “Now my husband will love me, because God has “heard” my unloved situation, and will see that Jacob now loves me.
But Jesus said something about the Holy Spirit in a parallel manner: He said – “The Holy Spirit will not speak or originate things from Himself – but just as I as the Son of Man to the Father did not initiate or speak anything from Myself – but only what He showed Me” –
So – the Holy Spirit hears Jesus and the Father, just as the Father heard Leah’s sad situation.
When we read together John 13-17, we will see how faithfully the Holy Spirit reports only what He hears concerning Jesus, and how He will help us to appropriate from the “Finished Work” of Christ.
John 13-17 is perhaps the greatest and longest word from Jesus concerning the “Comforter,” who was soon to take His place here on earth! “BETTER that He is IN you, than I am WITH you,” said Jesus.
And how does John 13 fit into this passage? Why did God so arrange that Panin should discover through “Numerics,” that this chapter is an integral and necessary part of these 5 chapters?
Jesus in John 13 sets an example of a perfect “Servant Spirit!” Imagine GOD stooping to wash His disciple’s feet! But the Holy Spirit has EXACTLY the same spirit as Jesus!
So in this initiatory chapter of this section, both Jesus and the Holy Spirit are set forth as examples of the “Servant Spirit.” And if these two Personages of our Triune God set for us SUCH an example – How Much More WE should follow in their train!
Carefully then, let us reread these 5 chapters, majoring on chapter 13 as the Doorway that ushers us into the next marvelous 4 chapters.
