This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Joh 16:5. [Νῦν δὲ, but now) Now at the proper season, saith He, the fact is declared to you.-V. g.]-οὐδεὶς) None of you now proceeds to ask Me, whereas ye ought to do so especially. They had often asked questions on many subjects: and on this very subject in ch. Joh 13:36. But their question had more reference in their thoughts to His departure, than to the place, whither the Lord was going. Afterwards they ceased to ask the question. Therefore the Lord here teaches them even to ask, which if they had done of their own accord, it would have very much pleased Him.
