Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 16:20

Ye shall weep ... - At my crucifixion, sufferings, and death. Compare Luke 23:27.The world - Wicked men. The term world is frequently used in this sense. See John 16:8. It refers particularly, here, to the Jews who sought his death, and who would rejoice that their object was obtained.Shall be turned into joy - You will not only rejoice at my resurrection, but even my death, now the object of so much grief to you, will be to you a source of unspeakable joy. It will procure for you peace and... read more

John 16:16-22. A little while When I am dead and buried; and ye shall not see me I shall not converse with you on earth, as I have hitherto done; and again For your encouragement and comfort, I assure you it will be but a little while longer, and ye shall see me And that to your much greater comfort and advantage; because I go to the Father When I shall be so mindful of your interest with him, as, ere long, to bring you to an eternal abode with him. Then said some, What is this... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 16:16-33

147. Difficulties ahead for the disciples (John 16:16-33)Within the next twenty-four hours Jesus would be taken from his disciples, but three days later, after his resurrection, they would see him again. Their sorrow would be replaced by joy, just as a woman’s pains before giving birth are replaced by joy after the child is born (John 16:16-22). Jesus’ victory through death and resurrection would give them a confidence in God that they never had before. They would see Jesus Christ as the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 16:20

Verily, verily, I say unto you, that ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.Jesus had often predicted his Passion, as recorded three times in Matthew; and here is another plain reference to the impending death and the rejoicing with which it would be hailed by his enemies. The apostles fully understood what Jesus meant here. 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 16:20

Again Jesus did not answer the disciples’ question directly because they would not have been able to understand Him if He had (John 16:12). What He did say was very important, however, as His introductory asseveration indicated.Jesus’ departure would mean great sorrow for His disciples but great joy for the world. This was the condition when Jesus died on the cross. Later the disciples’ sorrow would turn to joy. This was the result of Jesus’ resurrection (John 20:20). Some commentators viewed... 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
