Everything that belongs to the Father
This phrase underscores the profound unity and shared authority between the Father and the Son. In the Greek, "πάντα ὅσα ἔχει ὁ Πατήρ" (panta hosa echei ho Patēr) emphasizes the totality of what the Father possesses. This includes divine attributes, authority, and the fullness of wisdom and knowledge. Historically, this reflects the Jewish understanding of God as the ultimate sovereign, and here, Jesus claims that all of this divine sovereignty is also His. This is a powerful affirmation of the deity of Christ, aligning with the conservative Christian belief in the Trinity, where the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinct yet one in essence.

is Mine
The Greek "ἐστιν ἐμὰ" (estin ema) is a declaration of possession and unity. Jesus is not merely a messenger or a prophet; He is asserting His divine nature and equality with the Father. This statement is crucial for understanding the relationship within the Trinity. It affirms that Jesus, as the Son, shares in the divine nature and authority of the Father. This is a cornerstone of conservative Christian theology, which holds that Jesus is fully God and fully man, possessing all the attributes of God.

That is why I said
This phrase serves as a bridge, connecting Jesus' previous teachings with the current revelation. It indicates continuity and consistency in His message. The Greek "διὰ τοῦτο εἶπον" (dia touto eipon) suggests a reasoned explanation, emphasizing that Jesus' teachings are deliberate and purposeful. This reflects the historical context of Jesus' ministry, where He often explained His actions and teachings to His disciples, preparing them for the coming of the Holy Spirit.

the Spirit will receive from Me
Here, the role of the Holy Spirit is highlighted. The Greek "λαμβάνει ἐκ τοῦ ἐμοῦ" (lambanei ek tou emou) indicates a transmission of divine truth and authority from Jesus to the Spirit. This reflects the Trinitarian relationship, where the Spirit acts in perfect harmony with the Father and the Son. In a conservative Christian perspective, this underscores the belief that the Holy Spirit is not an independent force but is fully integrated into the Godhead, working to reveal and apply the truths of Christ to believers.

what He will make known to you
The Greek "ἀναγγελεῖ ὑμῖν" (anangelei hymin) means to announce or declare. This phrase promises that the Holy Spirit will actively communicate and reveal divine truths to the disciples. Historically, this was fulfilled at Pentecost and continues in the life of believers today. From a conservative Christian viewpoint, this emphasizes the role of the Holy Spirit in guiding, teaching, and empowering believers to understand and live out the teachings of Jesus. It assures Christians that they are not left to their own devices but are continually supported and enlightened by the Spirit.

(15) All things that the Father hath are mine.--He has told them that the Spirit's work is to glorify Him, to receive of His, and announce to the world. The ground of this saying is in the fact that the Son is the Revealer of the Father, and that the fulness of the truth (John 16:13) is given unto Him. The words appear from the context not to express the spiritual relation of the Son to the Father, but the fulness of the communication to Him in His human nature of the divine truth which He should reveal to man. (Comp. Notes on John 1:18; John 8:42; John 10:36; John 17:10; Matthew 11:27; Colossians 1:19; Colossians 2:2-3.) . . . Verse 15. - In this verse our Lord makes a still more superlative claim. All things which the Father hath (ὅσα ἔχει) are mine. Perhaps no sentence recorded by St. John is more difficult to reconcile with the mere humanity of our Lord, even of the loftiest kind. The "mine" of the previous verse is declared to embrace something more than the mystery of his Person and sacrifice. "All that the Father hath," all his fullness of being, all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge, all the power, all the effulgence of the glory of the Father, of the human race, and of all things, "are mine." This makes a spiritual apprehension of Christ include a perfect revelation of all the Father's character and work. Therefore said I, that he (the Spirit of truth, in being your Guide into all the truth) taketh of mine, and will declare (it) unto you. Because "mine is the Father's, and the Father's is mine;" because, i.e., he is the Center, and Agent, and Motive, and Force in all the Divine self-revelation, and because he possessed as his own this vast range, this infinite fullness of Divine operations, he promised them this spiritual teaching, and assured them that his highest glory was simply to be made known as he is. Calvin, "We see how the greater part of men deceive themselves; for they pass by Christ, and go out of the way to seek God by circuitous paths." In these verses we have a very abundant exhibition of the unity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, coupled with a very remarkable setting forth of the tri-personality. The Father "hath" (ἔχει) that which is in very. essence the Son's (ἐμα); and the Spirit, whose purpose is to glorify the Son by making him known to men (λαμβάνει), takes of "mine" and will declare it (see Stier, Schaff, note to Lange). Luthardt once thought with Stier, but now limits the reference, without giving any reason for it, to what he calls "the deposit of Divine truth in the humanity of Jesus." The sum of this astonishing assurance is that the Holy Spirit of truth, an essential element if not Personality in the Godhead, will lead these apostles into the fullness of truth, and of knowledge of the future, by taking up the essential realities of the Christ in the fullness of his being and work, and disclosing them by spiritual insight and supernatural quickening. These realities of the Christ will prove to be the fullness of the Father's heart - all that the Father hath. Again we ask - Does St. John even here travel beyond his prologue?
