John 16:12

12 adhuc multa habeo vobis dicere sed non potestis portare modo

John 16:12 Meaning and Commentary

John 16:12

I have yet many things to say unto you
Not with respect to the main doctrines of the Gospel, for everything of this kind he had made known unto them, ( John 15:15 ) ; but what regarded the rejection of the Jews, and the calling of the Gentiles, the abrogation of the Mosaic economy, and settling the Gospel church state, which were to come to pass after the death and resurrection of Christ, and the sending of the Spirit:

but ye cannot bear them now;
because of their prejudices in favour of their own nation, the law of Moses, and the ceremonies of it, and the setting up of a temporal kingdom.

John 16:12 In-Context

10 de iustitia vero quia ad Patrem vado et iam non videbitis me

11 de iudicio autem quia princeps mundi huius iudicatus est

12 adhuc multa habeo vobis dicere sed non potestis portare modo

13 cum autem venerit ille Spiritus veritatis docebit vos in omnem veritatem non enim loquetur a semet ipso sed quaecumque audiet loquetur et quae ventura sunt adnuntiabit vobis

14 ille me clarificabit quia de meo accipiet et adnuntiabit vobis
