Juan 16:19 Meaning and Commentary

John 16:19

Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him
This is a proof of Christ's deity, that he is the omniscient God who knows all things, what is in man, even the secrets of the heart; for he not only knew the whisperings of the disciples, and their inquiries among themselves about the sense of his words, but also their secret desires to ask him concerning it:

and said unto them, do ye inquire among yourselves of that I said, a
little while and ye shall not see me, and again a little while and ye
shall see me?
which he said before they could put the question to him, they being bashful, and backward, through fear or shame; and which not only confirms what is before observed of his omniscience, but also shows his readiness to open his mind and meaning, and explain himself to his disciples, as he does in the following words.

Juan 16:19 In-Context

17 Algunos de los discípulos se preguntaron unos a otros: «¿A qué se refiere cuando dice: “Dentro de poco, no me verán, pero luego me verán” y “voy al Padre”?

18 ¿Qué quiere decir con “dentro de poco”? No lo entendemos».

19 Jesús se dio cuenta de que querían preguntarle sobre eso, así que les dijo:

20 Les digo la verdad, ustedes llorarán y se lamentarán por lo que va a sucederme, pero el mundo se alegrará. Ustedes se lamentarán, pero su dolor se convertirá de pronto en una alegría maravillosa.

21 Será como una mujer que sufre dolores de parto, pero cuando nace su hijo, su angustia se transforma en alegría, porque ha traído una nueva vida al mundo.
