João 16:6

6 Antes, porque vos disse isto, o vosso coração se encheu de tristeza.

João 16:6 Meaning and Commentary

John 16:6

But because I have said these things to you
Of being hated and persecuted by the Jews, of being put out of their synagogues, and of losing of their lives; and particularly of his departure from them, or the loss of his bodily presence:

sorrow hath filled your heart;
sorrow for his absence so possessed their minds, seized on all the powers and faculties of their souls, and engrossed all their thoughts, that it never entered into the heart of any of them, to inquire about the place he was going to, or the state he should enter upon; which had they had any right notions of, would have greatly contributed to have abated their sorrow, quieted their minds, made them easy under, and reconciled them unto, his departure from them.

João 16:6 In-Context

4 Mas tenho-vos dito estas coisas, a fim de que, quando chegar aquela hora, vos lembreis de que eu vo-las tinha dito. Não vo-las disse desde o princípio, porque estava convosco.

5 Agora, porém, vou para aquele que me enviou; e nenhum de vós me pergunta: Para onde vais?

6 Antes, porque vos disse isto, o vosso coração se encheu de tristeza.

7 Todavia, digo-vos a verdade, convém-vos que eu vá; pois se eu não for, o Ajudador não virá a vós; mas, se eu for, vo-lo enviarei.

8 E quando ele vier, convencerá o mundo do pecado, da justiça e do juízo:
