John 16:26

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 16:26

I say not unto you that I will pray ... - In John 14:16, Jesus says that he would pray the Father, and that he would send the Comforter. In John 17:0 he offered a memorable prayer for them. In Hebrews 7:25, it is said that Jesus ever liveth to make intercession for us; and it is constantly represented in the New Testament that it is by his intercession in heaven now that we obtain the blessings of pardon, peace, strength, and salvation. Compare Hebrews 9:24. This declaration of Jesus, then,... read more

John 16:25-28. These things Though very weighty and important; have I spoken unto you in proverbs In the obscurity of parables, which have appeared dark and mysterious to you; but the time cometh, &c. You may comfort yourselves with this thought, that the time is at hand when I shall speak unto you no more in proverbs No more in that obscure manner; but I shall show you plainly of the Father Shall, by the teaching of my Spirit, declare to you, in plain terms, the whole counsel... 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 16:26

In that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you; for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from the Father.This is a further exhortation for the apostles to pray directly to God in Jesus' name, on the grounds that the love of God for Christ is extended to Jesus' disciples. This love of God was the result not merely of their belief in Christ (last clause) but was also based upon their love of... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 16:26

John 16:26. At that day ye shall ask in my name:— This is the fifth time our Lord enjoined his apostles to offer up their petitions in his name. See John 16:23-24. Ch. Joh 14:13 and John 15:16. The frequency of the injunction shews the importance of the matter enjoined; for whether we understand Jesus as speaking of the things requisite to the conversion of the world, or of such things as are necessary to the salvation of individuals, it is evident that the great end of the mediation of Christ... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 16:26-27

After Jesus’ ascension, the disciples would pray in Jesus’ name to the Father (cf. John 14:13-14; John 14:26; John 16:23-24). The Father would grant their request-in the context it is a request for understanding of Jesus’ former teachings-because the Father loved them in a special sense. They had loved His Son and had believed on Jesus. This is a second reason the disciples could take comfort in Jesus’ promise that they would understand better in the future. The first reason was that the Father... read more
