Juan 14:24

24 El que no me ama, no guarda mis palabras; y la palabra que habéis oído, no es mía, sino del Padre que me envió

Juan 14:24 Meaning and Commentary

John 14:24

He that loveth me not, keepeth not my sayings
These words may have respect both to external professors of religion, who being destitute of true love to Christ, though they outwardly observe his ordinances and commands; yet inasmuch as this does not spring from a principle of love to him, and is done only to be seen of men, or to obtain life for themselves, may be said, not to keep his words or commands, because they do not keep them aright; and to the profane world, who, as they have no affection to Christ, pay no regard to any orders or ordinances of his: and they may be considered as having in them a reason or argument, justifying the conduct of Christ, in manifesting himself to his disciples, and not unto the world; as the following words give a reason why the Father takes so much notice of, comes and makes his abode with such as keep the words of Christ:

and,
or "for"

the word which you hear, is not mine, but the Father's which sent
me:
that is, it is not only mine, but my Father's also: it is not mine as man; it is not a scheme of things of my own devising; it is not from earth, but from heaven; my Father has a concern in it, and therefore regards such who hear, receive, and keep it: and this is said by him partly to engage a greater regard and attention to his word, his truths, and ordinances, by his disciples; and to expose and aggravate the sin of those who despised and rejected them; since it was not barely casting contempt on him, but on his Father likewise.

Juan 14:24 In-Context

22 Le dice Judas, no el Iscariote: Señor, ¿qué hay porque te hayas de manifestar a nosotros, y no al mundo

23 Respondió Jesús, y le dijo: El que me ama, mi palabra guardará; y mi Padre le amará, y vendremos a él, y haremos con él morada

24 El que no me ama, no guarda mis palabras; y la palabra que habéis oído, no es mía, sino del Padre que me envió

25 Estas cosas os he hablado estando con vosotros

26 Mas el Consolador, el Espíritu Santo, al cual el Padre enviará en mi nombre, aquel os enseñará todas las cosas, y os recordará todas las cosas que os he dicho
