SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:29
Le dicen sus discípulos: He aquí, ahora hablas claramente, y ningn proverbio dices.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 16:29
Verse 29. Lo, now speakest thou plainly] The disciples received more light now, on the nature of Christ's person and office, than they had ever done before.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 29. His disciples said unto him , etc.] 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 Christs 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.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 28-33 - Here is a plain declaration of Christ's coming from the Father, and his return to him. The Redeemer, in his entrance, was God manifest in the flesh, and in his departure was received up into glory. By this sayin the disciples improved in knowledge. Also in faith; "Now are we sure. Alas! they knew not their own weakness. The Divine nature did no desert the human nature, but supported it, and put comfort and valu into Christ's sufferings. And while we have God's favourable presence we are happy, and ought to be easy, though all the world forsake us Peace in Christ is the only true peace, in him alone believers have it Through him we have peace with God, and so in him we have peace in ou own minds. We ought to be encouraged, because Christ has overcome the world before us. But while we think we stand, let us take heed lest we fall. We know not how we should act if brought into temptation; let u watch and pray without ceasing, that we may not be left to ourselves __________________________________________________________________
