Commentaries and Concordances

16:16,17 A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me. On the morrow he would die, be buried, and for a little while they would not see him; then he would rise, and for another little while, a space of forty days before he went to his Father, they would see him while he remained on the earth. When he ascended to his Father, they, in a spiritual sense, would see him coming in the kingdom of God (Mt 16:28).

WES:

16:19 Jesus said to them - Preventing their question.

MHC:

16:16-22 It is good to consider how near our seasons of grace are to an end, that we may be quickened to improve them. But the sorrows of the disciples would soon be turned into joy; as those of a mother, at the sight of her infant. The Holy Spirit would be their Comforter, and neither men nor devils, neither sufferings in life nor in death, would ever deprive them of their joy. Believers have joy or sorrow, according to their sight of Christ, and the tokens of his presence. Sorrow is coming on the ungodly, which nothing can lessen; the believer is an heir to joy which no one can take away. Where now is the joy of the murderers of our Lord, and the sorrow of his friends?
