John 14:23

To this Jesus replies ἐάν τις … ποιήσομεν. The answer explains that the manifestation, being spiritual, must be individual and to those spiritually prepared. “It contemplates not a public discovery of power, but a sort of domestic visitation of love.” Bernard, πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐλευσόμεθα, “to him we will come”; Jesus without scruple unites Himself with the Father. μονὴν … ποιησόμεθα, a classical expression see Thuc., i. 131, μονὴν … ποιούμενος. “We will make our abode with him, will be daily his guests, yea, house and table companions.” Luther in Meyer, μονή is here used in a sense different from that of John 14:2, where it means a place to abide in.
