Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
proverb: or, parable, John 16:25
Reciprocal: Judges 14:12 - a riddle Matthew 10:27 - I tell Matthew 15:15 - Declare Mark 8:32 - openly Mark 9:10 - what John 11:14 - plainly 2 Corinthians 3:12 - we use
Gill's Notes on the Bible
His disciples said unto him,.... Upon the above discourse of Christ, such rays and beams of light darted into the minds of the apostles, and things stood so clear in their view, and they so well understood what Christ had said, that they declare,
lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb: what he had said before, were to them like proverbial, or parabolical expressions, not easy to be understood; they were like enigmas, riddles, and dark sayings, the meaning of which they could not apprehend; but now they observe, with admiration, that what he delivered was plain, and intelligible; which was not so much owing to Christ's different way of speaking now, from what it was before, as to their former dulness of hearing, and now having some further degree of light given unto them.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Now speakest thou plainly - What he had said that perplexed them was that which is contained in John 16:16. Compare John 16:17-19; “A little while and ye shall not see me,” etc. This he had now explained by saying John 16:28, “Again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.” In this there was no ambiguity, and they expressed themselves satisfied with this explanation.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 29. Lo, now speakest thou plainly — The disciples received more light now, on the nature of Christ's person and office, than they had ever done before.
