John 16:29,30 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

His disciples said— "We acknowledge that now thou speakest in such a manner as we can understand; for what thou sayest is by no means dark, like the things before delivered. Moreover, by what thou hast now spoken, we clearly perceive that thou knowest the hearts of men; and that in conversing with men, thou hast no need that they should tell thee their thoughts by any question. In short, thy knowledge of our hearts fully convinceth us that thou camest forth from God." It seems, through the whole of this discourse, Jesus had obviated the objections, and answered the questions which his disciples were going to propose, or would gladly have proposed to him. See John 16:19 and on John 16:17.
