Matthew Poole and continuators on John 14:19

19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more , but ye see me : because I live: ye shall live also .

The World seeth me now onely with fleshly Eyes; it will be but a little while, and the men of the World shall be able to see me no more; I shall be crucified, and laid in the grave; and tho I shall rise again, yet I shall not be seen of them: (we read of no appearances of him after his Resurrection, but to his Disciples)

but ye see me, or shall see me; so they did often after his Resurrection with their bodily Eyes; or [illegible: 1 word] may be understood of a Spiritual sight by the Eye of Faith, or of a sight of experience; (as seeing often in Scripture signifieth enjoying)

Because I live, that is, I shall live by my Resurrection from the Dead, and by my glorious Ascension into Heaven; you also shall live the Life of grace here; and tho your bodies must die, because of sin, yet your Souls shall upon the death of your bodies live; and in the Resurrection, both your Souls and bodies shall live, and together be glorified with me; all this grace and mercy shall flow out to you from me as Mediator, and because I live.
