John 14:31

But that Once more we have an instance of S. John's elliptical use of these words (see on John 13:18), -But (this is done, i.e. Satan cometh) in order that, &c." Some, however, would omit the full stop at -I do" and make -that" depend upon -Arise:" -But that the world may know that I love the Father, and that as the Father commanded Me so I do, arise, let us go hence." There is a want of solemnity, if not a savour of -theatrical effect," in this arrangement. Moreover it is less in harmony with S. John's style, especially in these discourses. The more simple construction is the more probable.

let us get hence -Let us go and meet the power before which I am willing in accordance with God's will to fall."

We are probably to understand that they rise from table and prepare to depart, but that the contents of the next three Chapter s are spoken before they leave the room (comp. John 18:1). Others suppose that the room is left now and that the next two Chapter s are discourses on the way towards Gethsemane, chap. 17 being spoken at some halting place, possibly the Temple. See introductory note to chap. 17.
