Yochanan 16:12

12 Yet many things I have to tell you, but you are not able to bear them now.

Yochanan 16:12 Meaning and Commentary

John 16:12

I have yet many things to say unto you
Not with respect to the main doctrines of the Gospel, for everything of this kind he had made known unto them, ( John 15:15 ) ; but what regarded the rejection of the Jews, and the calling of the Gentiles, the abrogation of the Mosaic economy, and settling the Gospel church state, which were to come to pass after the death and resurrection of Christ, and the sending of the Spirit:

but ye cannot bear them now;
because of their prejudices in favour of their own nation, the law of Moses, and the ceremonies of it, and the setting up of a temporal kingdom.

Yochanan 16:12 In-Context

10 Concerning Tzedek [DANIEL 9:24] because I go to HaAv and no longer do you see me;

11 And concerning Mishpat (Judgment) because the Sar HaOlam Hazeh has been judged.

12 Yet many things I have to tell you, but you are not able to bear them now.

13 But when that One has come, the Ruach Hakodesh, the Ruach HaEmes, He will guide you in all truth. [TEHILLIM 25:5] For He will not speak on His own authority, but what things He will hear, He will speak, and the things that are to come He will announce to you.

14 That One will give kavod to me, because He will receive of what is mine, and will announce it to you.
