Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now: - q.d., 'Such condescension does need explanation; it is fitted to astonish;'
But thou shalt know hereafter, х meta (G3326) tauta (G5023)] - literally, 'after these things,' meaning 'presently;' although viewed as a general maxim, applicable to all dark sayings in God's word, and dark doings in God's providence, these words are full of consolation.
