Is preaching the Farewell Discourse a good book?
In the New Testament, chapters 14–17 of the Gospel of John are known as the Farewell Discourse given by Jesus to eleven of his disciples immediately after the conclusion of the Last Supper in Jerusalem, the night before his crucifixion.
Chapters 13 through 17, often called the Upper Room Discourse, contain so much profound theology that we can only touch on a few salient points. For our purposes, we are specifically interested in examining chapters 14 through 17. It is important to recognize that Jesus’ words are not a dispassionate lecture.
The first major section of the farewell discourse (13:31â 14:31) is characterized by a series of questions by various disciples and Jesus' responses. An initial statement by Jesus gets the sequence started: he speaks of glorification (vv. 31-32), his departure (v. 33) and love (vv. 34-35).

Although chapters 13 to 17 of John may be viewed as a larger, monolithic unit, most of chapter 13 may be viewed as a preparation for the farewell, and the farewell prayer in chapter 17 as its conclusion. The discourse is preceded by 13:31-38 (just after Judas leaves the last supper), in which Jesus gives the remaining eleven disciples the New Comma...
Part 1: My peace I give unto you
The three components here are: 1. Jesus says that he will go to the Father and reasserts his divine relationship with him (14:1-14) 2. Commandment of love, and the arrival of the Holy Spirit (14:15-24) 3. Jesus bestows peace and reassures the disciples not be fearful (14:25-31) At the start of this part Jesus tells the disciples that he will go to the Father, causing them to be nervous about his departure. Yet he assures them that he will “go to prepare a place” for them in his Father’s house...
Part 2: I am the vine, you the branches
Main article: The Vine This part is a meditation on Jesus as the source of life for the community and builds on the pattern of discipleship in the gospels. In the beginning Jesus states: “I am the true vine”, leading to the use of the term The Vine to refer to this teaching. The disciples (and hence the community) are then referred to as the branches that depend on the vine: “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for apart from m...
Part 3: If the world hates you
In John 15:18-16:33 Jesus prepares his disciples for conflict and hatred by the world, reminding them he had also faced adversity: “If the world hateth you, ye know that it hath hated me before [it hated] you.” … “They hated me without a cause.” Warning the disciples of coming persecutions he says: “If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you” This again draws parallels between Jesus and his disciples, as had been drawn earlier in the discourse. In the First Epistle of John (3:13) the...
The Jesus Seminar has argued that verses John 14:30-31 represent a conclusion, and that the next three chapters have been inserted into the text later. This argument considers the farewell discourse not to be authentic, and postulates that it was constructed after the death of Jesus. Similarly, Stephen Harris has questioned the authenticity of the ...
Dec 4, 2017 · What is Jesus' farewell discourse and why did John place it in his Gospel? The farewell discourse has a long history of interpretation, and Klink sets out to place this substantial discourse into its proper literary place in John.
Scott Kellum’s Preaching the Farewell Discourse is a unique text. It draws from the fruit of the author’s doctoral dissertation, published as The Unity of the Farewell Discourse: The Literary Integrity of John 13:31–16:33 (JSNTSup 256; London: T&T Clark, 2005).
The second part of John -- sometimes known as "The Book of Glory" -- begins with a series of Farewell Discourses that talk about a New Commandment, Christ the Way, the coming of the Holy Spirit, Jesus' going to the Father, the True Vine, capped by Jesus' High Priestly prayer.
