Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

John 16:12-15

_ _ when he, the Spirit of truth, is come ... he shall not speak of himself — that is, from Himself, but, like Christ Himself, “what He hears,” what is given Him to communicate.

_ _ he will show you things to come — referring specially to those revelations which, in the Epistles partially, but most fully in the Apocalypse, open up a vista into the Future of the Kingdom of God, whose horizon is the everlasting hills.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on John 16:7-15.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

These things we have, not in uncertain traditions, but in the Acts, the Epistles, and the Revelation. But ye cannot bear them now — Both because of your littleness of faith, and your immoderate sorrow.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes
