See commentary on John 16:1-5.


John 16:2

_ _ They shall put you out of the synagogue — (John 9:22; John 12:42).

_ _ the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service — The words mean religious service — “that he is offering a service to God.” (So Saul of Tarsus, Galatians 1:13, Galatians 1:14; Philippians 3:6).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on John 16:1-6.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

John 16:2

The time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think he doth God service — But, blessed be God, the time is so far past, that those who bear the name of Christ do not now generally suppose they do him service by killing each other for a difference in opinion or mode of worship.
