Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Some of the disciples (ek twn maqhtwn autou). Ellipsis of time (some) before ek as in John 7:40. Jesus seemed to contradict himself, for the disciples took both verbs in the same sense and were still puzzled over the going to the Father of John 14:3. But they talk to one another, not to Jesus.
