Commentary on John 16:24

Theological / Devotional

Hitherto have ye. The relationship of the Son to the Father had previously not fully understood. Prayers had been directed to the Deity with a limited or, perhaps in some cases, no concept of the Godhead. After Christ’s ascension and His inauguration as priest and king His true position as the Mediator of the Christian’s prayers would be understood.

Your joy. See on ch. 15:11.
