Juan 12:16

16 Sus discípulos no entendieron en ese momento que se trataba del cumplimiento de la profecía. Solo después de que Jesús entró en su gloria, se acordaron de lo sucedido y se dieron cuenta de que esas cosas se habían escrito acerca de él.

Juan 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

Juan 12:16 In-Context

14 Jesús encontró un burrito y se montó en él; así se cumplió la profecía que dice:

15 «No temas, pueblo de Jerusalén.
Mira, tu Rey ya viene
montado en la cría de una burra»
.

16 Sus discípulos no entendieron en ese momento que se trataba del cumplimiento de la profecía. Solo después de que Jesús entró en su gloria, se acordaron de lo sucedido y se dieron cuenta de que esas cosas se habían escrito acerca de él.

17 Muchos de la multitud habían estado presentes cuando Jesús llamó a Lázaro de la tumba y lo resucitó de los muertos, y se lo habían contado a otros.

18 Por eso tantos salieron a recibir a Jesús, porque habían oído de esa señal milagrosa.
