John 14:15

If ye love me The connexion with what precedes is again not quite clear. Some would see it in the condition -in My name," which includes willing obedience to His commands. Perhaps it is rather to be referred to the opening and general drift of the chapter. -Let not your heart be troubled at My going away. You will still be Mine, I shall still be yours, and we shall still be caring for one another. I go to prepare a place for you, you remain to continue and surpass My work on earth. And though you can no longer minister to Me in the flesh, you can prove your love for Me even more perfectly by keeping Mycommandments when I am gone." -My" is emphatic; not those of the Law but of the Gospel.

keep The better reading is ye will keep. Only in these last discourses does Christ speak of His commandments: comp. John 14:21; John 13:34; John 15:10; John 15:12. See on John 14:27.
