Juan 16:6

6 Antes, porque os he hablado estas cosas, tristeza ha llenado vuestro corazón.

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 Mas os he dicho esto, para que cuando aquella hora viniere, os acordéis que yo os lo había dicho. Esto empero no os lo dije al principio, porque yo estaba con vosotros.

5 Mas ahora voy al que me envió; y ninguno de vosotros me pregunta: ¿Adónde vas?

6 Antes, porque os he hablado estas cosas, tristeza ha llenado vuestro corazón.

7 Pero yo os digo la verdad: Os es necesario que yo me vaya; porque si yo no me fuese, el Consolador no vendría a vosotros; mas si me fuere, os lo enviaré.

8 Y cuando él viniere redargüirá al mundo de pecado, y de justicia, y de juicio.
