This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Joh 16:18. Ἐλεγον, they were saying) Severally and individually. Inasmuch as they were perplexed when speaking among themselves, Joh 16:17, they were doubtful when thinking on it separately and apart.-τοῦτο, this) The pronoun in this passage is strongly demonstrative, as if they were to say, this in particular: there is nothing that we have less understood this long time, than this. We truly after the event readily understand: but not so they at that time.-οὐκ ὄιδαμεν, we know not) They lay aside all hope and the attempt to interpret His words.
