Commentary on John 14:30

Theological / Devotional

Prince of this world. For this title see on ch. 12:31.

Cometh. A reference to approaching events—Gethsemane, the arrest, trial, condemnation, and crucifixion of the Son of man, in which the prince of this world would make his supreme effort to defeat the plan of salvation. But Jesus drank the cup to the bitter end, and when He declared, “It is finished” (ch. 19:30), the death knell of the prince of darkness was sounded. Satan had found nothing in Jesus that responded to his sophistry.
