SEV Biblia, Chapter 12:16
Mas estas cosas no las entendieron sus discípulos de primero; pero cuando Jess fue glorificado, entonces se acordaron de que estas cosas estaban escritas de l, y que le hicieron estas cosas.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 12:16
Verse 16. Then remembered they, &c.] After the ascension of Christ, the disciples saw the meaning of many prophecies which referred to Christ, and applied them to him, which they had not fully comprehended before. Indeed it is only in the light of the new covenant, that the old is to be fully understood.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 16. These things understood not his disciples at the first , etc.] Or at that time, as the Syriac and Persic versions render it; or on that day, as the Ethiopic version; they did not then know the sense of that prophecy, nor that the things which were now doing were a fulfilling of it: but when Jesus was glorified ; was raised front the dead, and ascended to heaven, and was set down at the right hand of God, crowned with glory and honour; and when having received the promise of the Father, the Holy Ghost, and his gifts, he poured them forth in a very plenteous and extraordinary manner upon them; whereby their minds were greatly illuminated, and they had a very distinct knowledge of the Scriptures of the Old Testament; and saw clearly how they severally had their accomplishment in Christ: then remembered they that these things were written of him ; in the prophecies of the Old Testament; and [that] they had done these things unto him ; both the disciples and the multitude, or that these things were done to him; such as bringing the ass to him, laying their clothes on it, and setting him upon it, attending him with shoutings and hosannas to the city of Jerusalem, etc.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12-19 - Christ's riding in triumph to Jerusalem is recorded by all the evangelists. Many excellent things, both in the word and providence of God, disciples do not understand at their first acquaintance with the things of God. The right understanding of spiritual nature of Christ' kingdom, prevents our misapplying the Scriptures which speak of it.
