John 16:5

Jesus again pointed out that the revelation of His departure had made the disciples sad rather than happy. They had little interest in where He was going. What concerned them was the sorrow that His departure produced for them. Peter and Thomas had asked Jesus where He was going (John 13:36; John 14:5), but Jesus evidently did not regard those questions as expressing genuine interest in Himself but themselves. He apparently regarded them as superficial protests against His departure. [Note: Barrett, p. 485; C. H. Dodd, pp. 411-13, n. 1; Beasley-Murray, p. 279.]
