Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

John 16:10

_ _ Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more — Beyond doubt, it is Christ’s personal righteousness which the Spirit was to bring home to the sinner’s heart. The evidence of this was to lie in the great historical fact, that He had “gone to His Father and was no more visible to men”: — for if His claim to be the Son of God, the Savior of the world, had been a lie, how should the Father, who is “a jealous God,” have raised such a blasphemer from the dead and exalted him to His right hand? But if He was the “Faithful and True Witness,” the Father’s “Righteous Servant,” “His Elect, in whom His soul delighted,” then was His departure to the Father, and consequent disappearance from the view of men, but the fitting consummation, the august reward, of all that He did here below, the seal of His mission, the glorification of the testimony which He bore on earth, by the reception of its Bearer to the Father’s bosom. This triumphant vindication of Christ’s rectitude is to us divine evidence, bright as heaven, that He is indeed the Savior of the world, God’s Righteous Servant to justify many, because He bare their iniquities (Isaiah 53:11). Thus the Spirit, in this clause, is seen convincing men that there is in Christ perfect relief under the sense of sin of which He had before convinced them; and so far from mourning over His absence from us, as an irreparable loss, we learn to glory in it, as the evidence of His perfect acceptance on our behalf, exclaiming with one who understood this point, “Who shall lay anything to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth: Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died; yea, rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God,” etc. (Romans 8:33, Romans 8:34).

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

John 16:10

Of righteousness, because I go to my Father — Which the Spirit will testify, though ye do not then see me. But I could not go to him if I were not righteous.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

John 16:10

Of (c) righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

(c) Of Christ himself: for when the world will see that I have poured out the Holy Spirit they will be forced to confess that I was just, and was not condemned by my Father when I went out of this world.
