Juan 16:6

6 Mas porque os he dicho estas cosas, la tristeza ha llenado vuestro corazón.

Juan 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.

Juan 16:6 In-Context

4 Pero os he dicho estas cosas para que cuando llegue la hora, os acordéis de que ya os había hablado de ellas. Y no os dije estas cosas al principio, porque yo estaba con vosotros.

5 Pero ahora voy al que me envió, y ninguno de vosotros me pregunta: "¿Adónde vas?"

6 Mas porque os he dicho estas cosas, la tristeza ha llenado vuestro corazón.

7 Pero yo os digo la verdad: os conviene que yo me vaya; porque si no me voy, el Consolador no vendrá a vosotros; pero si me voy, os lo enviaré.

8 Y cuando El venga, convencerá al mundo de pecado, de justicia y de juicio;
