John 16:5 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Though I did not tell you this from the beginning, for many wise reasons; yet I now tell you, that I must die, but shall rise again from the dead, and go to my Father who sent me into the world to finish that work which I now have done, and so am returning from whence I came. And though indeed some of you have cursorily asked me whither I go, (as Peter 1 Thessalonians 13:36), yet none of you seems to understand, or so seriously as you ought to inquire, whither I go, or so much to be busied in the thoughts of that.

John 16:5

5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?
