Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 14. - Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you - just because I command you. So the natural conclusion will be, "I am showing you the highest possible fruit of my friendship - I am laying down my life for you. This is how I have loved you; therefore after this manner you are to love one another" (1 John 3:16; Ephesians 5:1, 2). Our Lord then explains more and more to them how they can and do claim this glorious designation. (1) They will vindicate the position for themselves if they are absolutely trustful and obedient. (2) But they can have a new and nobler proof.
