John 16:12 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

John 16:12

10 ^aof righteousness, ^bbecause I go to My Father and you see Me no more;

11 ^aof judgment, because ^bthe ruler of this world is judged.

12 “I still have many things to say to you, ^abut you cannot bear them now.

13 However, when He, ^athe Spirit of truth, has come, ^bHe will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

14 ^aHe will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.

15 ^aAll things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He¹ will take of Mine and declare it to you.

John 16:12-15

when he, the Spirit of truth, is come . . . he shall not speak of himself—that is, from Himself, but, like Christ Himself, "what He hears," what is given Him to communicate.

he will show you things to come—referring specially to those revelations which, in the Epistles partially, but most fully in the Apocalypse, open up a vista into the Future of the Kingdom of God, whose horizon is the everlasting hills.
