John 16:13 ESV / 89 helpful votes Helpful Not Helpful. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.
Sep 28, 2011 · The Spirit not only empowers us to proclaim Jesus to the world but testifies to us about Jesus for our own relationship with him (16:12-15; see also Eph. 2:18; 3:16). The Spirit will take the things of Jesus and reveal them to us, glorifying Jesus as Jesus himself glorified the Father (John 16: 14-15; see also 7:18, 39; 17:4).
Feb 8, 2022 · Specifically, the Spirit would reveal what the Son and the Father would have Him disclose (John 16:13–15)—things about Jesus (John 16:14). Jesus had already told the disciples that He would send the Holy Spirit—the Helper—who would teach them and bring to their remembrance all that Jesus had said to them (John 14:26). Jesus’ later ...

The Spirit will take the...
Abraham, “Shall I hide from Abraham the thing which I am about to do?” (Genesis 18:17). Moses, too, as God’s friend, could hear his voice in a special way (Exodus 33:11; Deuteronomy 34:10). Jesus was open with his disciples about God’s heart, and promised that the Spirit would be as open with the disciples after the resurrection as Jesus himself ha...
What does John 16:12 mean? In this passage, Jesus has been explaining the coming and work of the Holy Spirit (John 16:5–7). That includes the ways in which the Spirit will "convict" the unbelieving world (John 16:8–11).

John 16:12-15. I have yet many things to say unto you — There are many other things concerning which I must give you information. But ye cannot bear them now — But the weakness of your understanding, your desire and expectation of my erecting a temporal kingdom, your prejudices in favour of your own nation and law, and your aversion to the Gentiles, are so great, that you cannot yet bear ...
