Jean 16:29 Meaning and Commentary

John 16:29

His disciples said unto him
Upon the above discourse of Christ, such rays and beams of light darted into the minds of the apostles, and things stood so clear in their view, and they so well understood what Christ had said, that they declare,

lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb:
what he had said before, were to them like proverbial, or parabolical expressions, not easy to be understood; they were like enigmas, riddles, and dark sayings, the meaning of which they could not apprehend; but now they observe, with admiration, that what he delivered was plain, and intelligible; which was not so much owing to Christ's different way of speaking now, from what it was before, as to their former dulness of hearing, and now having some further degree of light given unto them.

Jean 16:29 In-Context

27 Car le Père lui-même vous aime, parce que vous m'avez aimé, et que vous avez cru que je suis issu de Dieu.

28 Je suis issu du Père, et je suis venu dans le monde; je laisse de nouveau le monde, et je vais au Père.

29 Ses disciples lui dirent: Voici, maintenant tu parles ouvertement, et tu ne dis point de similitude.

30 Maintenant nous savons que tu sais toutes choses, et que tu n'as pas besoin que personne t'interroge; c'est pour cela que nous croyons que tu es issu de Dieu.

31 Jésus leur répondit: Vous croyez maintenant?
