Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 16:12-15

John 16:12-15. I have yet many things to say unto you There are many other things concerning which I must give you information. But ye cannot bear them now But the weakness of your understanding, your desire and expectation of my erecting a temporal kingdom, your prejudices in favour of your own nation and law, and your aversion to the Gentiles, are so great, that you cannot yet bear the discovery. For which reason I judge it more prudent to be silent for the present. The things which our... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 16:1-15

146. Work of the Holy Spirit (John 16:1-15)As long as Jesus had been with his disciples, the full force of people’s opposition had been directed at him, not at them. Now that he was about to leave them, he warned them that this hatred would be turned on them (John 16:1-4). However, because of their grief concerning his coming departure, they scarcely understood his warning. Nor could they see the joy that lay before him in being reunited with his Father (John 16:5-6).When Jesus departed, the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 16:12

I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.This verse is not a separation between the fourth and fifth Paraclete sayings, but a connective making them, in fact, one saying, the first part dealing with the Spirit's relation to the world, the latter with the Spirit's work in the apostles. The need of the apostles that something should be done for them is what this verse states. There were many things the apostles could not understand until afterward. As Barnes said:There... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 16:12

John 16:12. I have yet many things to say unto you,— These other things to which our Lord refers, might probably relate to the abrogation of the ceremonial law, to the doctrine of justification by faith, the rejection of the Jews, the calling of the Gentiles, and the like, which the disciples could not fully receive till their remaining prejudices were removed. read more

12-15. when he, the Spirit of truth, is come . . . he shall not speak of himself—that is, from Himself, but, like Christ Himself, "what He hears," what is given Him to communicate. he will show you things to come—referring specially to those revelations which, in the Epistles partially, but most fully in the Apocalypse, open up a vista into the Future of the Kingdom of God, whose horizon is the everlasting hills. read more

7. The clarification of the future 16:1-24Jesus proceeded to review things that He had just told His disciples, but He now gave them more information. Particularly the ministry of the Holy Spirit is the subject of this section of the discourse, though Jesus also clarified other matters about which He had spoken, namely: the new relations arising from His departure.Jesus’ method of teaching in the Upper Room Discourse was not to give a thorough explanation of one subject, then a thorough... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 16:12-13

These verses begin the fifth and final paraclete passage in the Upper Room Discourse (John 14:16-17; John 14:26; John 15:26-27; John 16:7-15). The passage focuses on the completion of the revelation that Jesus brought from the Father (cf. John 1:1; John 1:14; Colossians 1:15; Hebrews 1:1-4). The New Testament consistently views the revelation that Jesus gave the apostles through the Spirit following His ascension as a continuation of Jesus’ revelation.Jesus never acted on His own initiative but... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - John 16:1-33

The Resurrection and Ascension of Christ Will Prove the Disciples’ Comfort in Time of Persecution1-6. The Persecution of the Apostles predicted. This section repeats many of the ideas of the previous chapter (see John 15:18-24). The reason of the anticipated persecution is ’because they (the persecutors) have not known the Father nor Me’ (John 16:3); i.e. because they have mistaken the character of the service which the Father requires of them. They think that He requires strict observance of... read more
