João 12:16

16 A princípio seus discípulos não entenderam isso. Só depois que Jesus foi glorificado, eles se lembraram de que essas coisas estavam escritas a respeito dele e lhe foram feitas.

João 12:16 Meaning and Commentary

John 12:16

These things understood not his disciples at the first,
&c.] Or "at that time", as the Syriac and Persic versions render it; or "on that day", as the Ethiopic version; they did not then know the sense of that prophecy, nor that the things which were now doing were a fulfilling of it:

but when Jesus was glorified;
was raised front the dead, and ascended to heaven, and was set down at the right hand of God, crowned with glory and honour; and when having received the promise of the Father, the Holy Ghost, and his gifts, he poured them forth in a very plenteous and extraordinary manner upon them; whereby their minds were greatly illuminated, and they had a very distinct knowledge of the Scriptures of the Old Testament; and saw clearly how they severally had their accomplishment in Christ:

then remembered they that these things were written of him;
in the prophecies of the Old Testament;

and [that] they had done these things unto him;
both the disciples and the multitude, or that these things were done to him; such as bringing the ass to him, laying their clothes on it, and setting him upon it, attending him with shoutings and hosannas to the city of Jerusalem

João 12:16 In-Context

14 Jesus conseguiu um jumentinho e montou nele, como está escrito:

15 “Não tenha medo, ó cidade de Sião;eis que o seu rei vem,montado num jumentinho”.

16 A princípio seus discípulos não entenderam isso. Só depois que Jesus foi glorificado, eles se lembraram de que essas coisas estavam escritas a respeito dele e lhe foram feitas.

17 A multidão que estava com ele, quando mandara Lázaro sair do sepulcro e o ressuscitara dos mortos, continuou a espalhar o fato.

18 Muitas pessoas, por terem ouvido falar que ele realizara tal sinal milagroso, foram ao seu encontro.
