VERS. XVI.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉.

And ye shall see me because I go unto the Father.

A Little while and ye shall not see me, because I go to the Father, and ye shall see me, be∣cause I go to the Father, i. e. Ye shall not see me personally, but virtually. It is true they did not see him when he lay in the grave, and they did see him when he rose again; but I question whether these words ought to be taken in this sense, because it would sound somewhat harshly here what is added, Ye shall see me because I go unto the Fa∣ther. I would therefore rather understand it of his ascending into Heaven, after which they saw him indeed no more personally, but they did see him in the influences and gift of his Holy Spirit; and so what follows agrees well enough with this sense of the words, ver. 23. In that day ye shall ask me nothing, [as ye were now about to enquire of me, ver. 19.] Ask the Father in my name, and he shall reveal to you whatever you shall ask of him.
