Juan 16:6

6 En cambio, se entristecen por lo que les he dicho.

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 Les digo estas cosas ahora para que, cuando sucedan, recuerden mi advertencia. No las mencioné antes porque todavía iba a estar un tiempo más con ustedes.

5 La obra del Espíritu Santo

6 En cambio, se entristecen por lo que les he dicho.

7 En realidad, es mejor para ustedes que me vaya porque, si no me fuera, el Abogado Defensor
no vendría. En cambio, si me voy, entonces se lo enviaré a ustedes;

8 y cuando él venga, convencerá al mundo de pecado y de la justicia de Dios y del juicio que viene.
