John the Apostle
John 14:19WEB·traditional attribution

Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.

Albert Barnes Presbyterian

The world saw Christ only with bodily eyes and then lost that sight; you see Him by faith and will continue to see Him. Because Christ lives, not merely after resurrection, but with a divine nature that cannot die, He has both power and will to give you life too, defending you from every spiritual enemy and bringing you to glory with Himself.

Matthew Henry Presbyterian

Though I leave you bodily, I leave you not comfortless; departure is neither total nor final. I come to you at my resurrection, come daily in my Spirit's tokens and visits, and come certainly at the end. The Lord is at hand: this should quiet your sorrow.

Commenting on John 14:18-24

William Burkitt Anglican

After His death the world saw Him no more, but His disciples saw Him risen; and here is your consolation: because I live, you shall live also. Your spiritual life flows from Christ as sap from the root to branches; while He lives, you cannot wither. In heaven you will finally see clearly what now you know only darkly, that union between Christ and His Father, and between Christ and yourselves.
