33. These things I have spoken unto you--not the immediately preceding
words, but this whole discourse, of which these were the very last
words, and which He thus winds up.
that in me ye might have peace--in the sublime sense before
explained. (See on
Joh 14:27).
In the world ye shall have tribulation--specially arising from its
deadly opposition to those who "are not of the world, but chosen out of
the world." So that the "peace" promised was far from an unruffled one.
I have overcome the world--not only before you, but for you,
that ye may be able to do the same
(1Jo 5:4, 5).
