The Pulpit Commentary - John 16:2-3

They (used impersonally, as the German man , or the French ou ) shall make you excommunicate — ἀποσυναγώγους "put you out of the synagogue," expel you from the fellowship of your country's worship (cf. John 9:22 and John 12:42 )— nay, further (the ἀλλὰ abruptly introduces a very much stronger assertion) an hour cometh, that — ἵνα is here, by Meyer and many others, said to involve a Divine order, purpose, or destiny, intended by the drawing on of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 16:2-3

Persecution foreseen and foretold. The great aim of the Lord Jesus, in his final conversations with his apostles, was to convince them of their perfect union with himself. They were the branches of the living vine; they were his beloved and confidential friends. Were these revelations made merely to assure them of privilege, merely to make them happy in the consciousness of an honorable and inseparable relation? Certainly not. This spiritual fellowship was to be the power for holy service... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 16:4

But —the ἀλλὰ suggests a kind of pause, as if he had said, "I will go into no further details" (Meyer)— these things —these prophecies of approaching persecution— I have spoken to you, that (here ἵνα has its proper relic force) when [ their ] hour is come, ye may remember [ them ] how that I told you . £ This awkward form is that due to the perplexities of the position of αὐτῶν in the text. Frequently our Lord thus prepared his disciples for the future, called... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 16:4

These things - These things which are about to happen, John 16:1-2. He had foretold them that they would take place.Ye may remember ... - By calling to mind that he had foretold these things they would perceive that he was omniscient, and would remember, also, the consolations which he had afforded them and the instructions which he had given them. Had these calamities come upon them without their having been foretold, their faith might have failed; they might have been tempted to suppose that... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 16:3

John 16:3. And these things will they do These cruelties will they exercise upon you, not because ye have done them any harm; but because they have not known the Father nor me Which, if they had done, instead of injuring me, and exercising such inhumanities toward you, my apostles, they would have received us with the greatest affection and gratitude. Here we have the true root of persecution in all its forms; it is ignorance of God and of Christ, and of the real nature of Christianity:... read more

John 16:4-6. But these things have I told you And forewarned you of them; that when the time shall come In which they shall happen; ye may remember that I told you of them And so may turn what has so discouraging an aspect into a further confirmation of your faith. And these things I said not at the beginning Of my ministry; because I was with you And could easily suggest proper instructions and consolations, as new circumstances of difficulty arose; and because, being with you, I... 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
