Giovanni 16:15

15 Tutte le cose che ha il Padre son mie: perciò ho detto ch’egli prenderà del mio, e ve l’annunzierà.

Giovanni 16:15 Meaning and Commentary

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; and the Son shares in the same glory and felicity the Father does; so that in the utmost extent of the phrase, all that the Father hath are his; yet since Christ is speaking of things received of him by the Spirit, and shown unto his people, it rather seems that the blessings of grace, which the Father has in store for his chosen ones, and the doctrines of grace, those deep things of his, are here more especially meant; which to reveal and apply, is the peculiar work of the Spirit; and in these Christ is equally concerned with the Father:

therefore, said I, he shall take of mine, and shall show it unto you;
he does not mention the things of the Father, only his own; nor was there any necessity for it, because whatever is his, is the Father's, and whatever the Father has is his: they are jointly concerned in every thing relating to the salvation, benefit, comfort, and happiness of the saints; so that when the Spirit of God takes of the things of the one, he takes of the things of the other, and discovers, and applies them.

Giovanni 16:15 In-Context

13 Ma, quando colui sarà venuto, cioè lo Spirito di verità, egli vi guiderà in ogni verità; perciocchè egli non parlerà da sè stesso, ma dirà tutte le cose che avrà udite, e vi annunzierà le cose a venire.

14 Esso mi glorificherà, perciocchè prenderà del mio, e ve l’annunzierà.

15 Tutte le cose che ha il Padre son mie: perciò ho detto ch’egli prenderà del mio, e ve l’annunzierà.

16 Fra poco voi non mi vedrete; e di nuovo, fra poco voi mi vedrete; perciocchè io me ne vo al Padre.

17 Laonde alcuni de’ suoi discepoli dissero gli uni agli altri: Che cosa è questo ch’egli ci dice: Fra poco voi non mi vedrete; e di nuovo: Fra poco mi vedrete? e: Perciocchè io me ne vo al Padre?
