Joh 14:30; 15:15 Ac 1:3

SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:12

An tengo muchas cosas que deciros, mas ahora no las podis llevar.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 16:12

Verse 12. Ye cannot bear them now.] In illustration of these three points,
Christ had many things to say; but he found that his disciples could only bear general truths; yet, in saying what he did, he sowed the seeds of the whole system of theological knowledge, and heavenly wisdom, which the Holy Spirit of this truth afterwards watered and ripened into a glorious harvest of light and salvation, by the ministry of the apostles. Dr. Lightfoot supposes that the things which the apostles could not bear now were such as these: 1. The institution of the Christian Sabbath, and the abolition of the Jewish.

2. The rejection of the whole Jewish nation, at the very time in which they expected to be set up and established for ever.

3. The entire change of the whole Mosaic dispensation, and the bringing the Gentiles into the Church of God.


John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 12. I have yet many things to say unto you , etc.] 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.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 7-15 -
Christ's departure was necessary to the Comforter's coming. Sending the Spirit was to be the fruit of Christ's death, which was his going away His bodily presence could be only in one place at one time, but his Spirit is every where, in all places, at all times, wherever two of three are gathered together in his name. See here the office of the Spirit, first to reprove, or to convince. Convincing work is the Spirit's work; he can do it effectually, and none but he. It is the method the Holy Spirit takes, first to convince, and then to comfort The Spirit shall convince the world, of sin; not merely tell them of it. The Spirit convinces of the fact of sin; of the fault of sin; of the folly of sin; of the filth of sin, that by it we are become hatefu to God; of the fountain of sin, the corrupt nature; and lastly, of the fruit of sin, that the end thereof is death. The Holy Spirit prove that all the world is guilty before God. He convinces the world of righteousness; that Jesus of Nazareth was Christ the righteous. Also of Christ's righteousness, imparted to us for justification an salvation. He will show them where it is to be had, and how they may be accepted as righteous in God's sight. Christ's ascension proves the ransom was accepted, and the righteousness finished, through whic believers were to be justified. Of judgment, because the prince of thi world is judged. All will be well, when his power is broken, who mad all the mischief. As Satan is subdued by Christ, this gives u confidence, for no other power can stand before him. And of the day of judgment. The coming of the Spirit would be of unspeakable advantage to the disciples. The Holy Spirit is our Guide, not only to show us the way, but to go with us by continued aids and influences. To be led int a truth is more than barely to know it; it is not only to have the notion of it in our heads, but the relish, and savour, and power of is in our hearts. He shall teach all truth, and keep back nothin profitable, for he will show things to come. All the gifts and grace of the Spirit, all the preaching, and all the writing of the apostles under the influence of the Spirit, all the tongues, and miracles, wer to glorify Christ. It behoves every one to ask, whether the Holy Spiri has begun a good work in his heart? Without clear discovery of ou guilt and danger, we never shall understand the value of Christ' salvation; but when brought to know ourselves aright, we begin to se the value of the Redeemer. We should have fuller views of the Redeemer and more lively affections to him, if we more prayed for, and depende on the Holy Spirit.
