| I came forth from the Father, &c.--that is, "And ye are right, for I have indeed so come forth,and shall soon return whence I came." This echo of the truth, alluded to in Joh 16:27, seems like thinking aloud, as if it were grateful to His own spirit on such a subject and at such an hour. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
I came forth from the Father - I came sent by the Father.
And am come into the world - See Joh 3:19; Joh 6:14, Joh 6:62; Joh 9:39. |

I came forth from the Father - With whom I existed from eternity in glory.
Am come into the world - By my incarnation.
I leave the world - By my death.
And go to the Father - By my ascension. These four words contain the whole economy of the Gospel of man's salvation, and a consummate abridgment of the Christian faith. This gave the disciples a key to the whole of our Lord's discourse; and especially to that part, Joh 16:16, that had so exceedingly embarrassed them, as appears by Joh 16:17, Joh 16:18. |
27 For [1063] the Father [3962] himself [846] loveth [5368] you [5209], because [3754] ye [5210] have loved [5368] me [1691], and [2532] have believed [4100] that [3754] I [1473] came out [1831] from [3844] God [2316].
39 And [2532] Jesus [2424] said [2036], For [1519] judgment [2917] I [1473] am come [2064] into [1519] this [5126] world [2889], that [2443] they which see [991] not [3361] might see [991]; and [2532] that they which see [991] might be made [1096] blind [5185].
62 What and [3767] if [1437] ye shall see [2334] the Son [5207] of man [444] ascend up [305] where [3699] he was [2258] before [4386]?
14 Then [3767] those men [444], when they had seen [1492] the miracle [4592] that [3739] Jesus [2424] did [4160], said [3004], This [3754] [3778] is [2076] of a truth [230] that prophet [4396] that should come [2064] into [1519] the world [2889].
19 And [1161] this [3778] is [2076] the condemnation [2920], that [3754] light [5457] is come [2064] into [1519] the world [2889], and [2532] men [444] loved [25] darkness [4655] rather [3123] than [2228] light [5457], because [1063] their [846] deeds [2041] were [2258] evil [4190].
8 Again [3825], the devil [1228] taketh [3880] him [846] up [3880] into [1519] an exceeding [3029] high [5308] mountain [3735], and [2532] sheweth [1166] him [846] all [3956] the kingdoms [932] of the world [2889], and [2532] the glory [1391] of them [846];
7 Nevertheless [235] I [1473] tell [3004] you [5213] the truth [225]; It is expedient [4851] for you [5213] that [2443] I [1473] go away [565]: for [1063] if [3362] I go [565] not [3362] away [565], the Comforter [3875] will [2064] not [3756] come [2064] unto [4314] you [5209]; but [1161] if [1437] I depart [4198], I will send [3992] him [846] unto [4314] you [5209].
18 They said [3004] therefore [3767], What [5101] is [2076] this [5124] that [3739] he saith [3004], A little while [3397]? we cannot [3756] [1492] tell [1492] what [5101] he saith [2980].
17 Then [3767] said [2036] some of [1537] his [846] disciples [3101] among [4314] themselves [240], What [5101] is [2076] this [5124] that [3739] he saith [3004] unto us [2254], A little while [3397], and [2532] ye shall [2334] not [3756] see [2334] me [3165]: and [2532] again [3825], a little while [3397], and [2532] ye shall see [3700] me [3165]: and [2532], Because [3754] I [1473] go [5217] to [4314] the Father [3962]?
16 A little while [3397], and [2532] ye shall [2334] not [3756] see [2334] me [3165]: and [2532] again [3825], a little while [3397], and [2532] ye shall see [3700] me [3165], because [3754] I [1473] go [5217] to [4314] the Father [3962].
