Juan 16:6

6 Al contrario, como les he dicho estas cosas, se han entristecido mucho.

Juan 16:6 Meaning and Commentary

John 16:6

Juan 16:6 In-Context

5 »Ahora vuelvo al que me envió, pero ninguno de ustedes me pregunta: “¿A dónde vas?”

6 Al contrario, como les he dicho estas cosas, se han entristecido mucho.

7 Pero les digo la verdad: Les conviene que me vaya porque, si no lo hago, el Consolador no vendrá a ustedes; en cambio, si me voy, se lo enviaré a ustedes.

8 Y cuando él venga, convencerá al mundo de su error en cuanto al pecado, a la justicia y al juicio;
