John 16:5
Verse 5 of 33
Commentary
Commentary on John 16:5
Theological / DevotionalI go my way. [The Coming of the Comforter, John 16:5-33.] Compare chs. 7:33; 13:33; 14:2.
Asketh. Literally, “keeps on asking.” Understood in this way this verse does not contradict chs. 13:36 and 14:5. The disciples had earlier made inquiry concerning this matter, but had ceased to do so. They were absorbed in selfish thoughts and did not think of the joy of their Master at the prospect of returning to His Father and carrying the plan of salvation one step nearer completion. It was expedient that He go away (ch. 16:7).
