  2. DoxologyPraise God, from whom all blessings flow;Praise Him, all creatures here below;Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.—Amen.

  3. New Memory Verse1 John 5:14-15, “This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.”

  4. John 16:29-32Final Prophecies and Words of Encouragement

  5. John 16:29,“Using” is actually the verb LEGO in the Present, Active, Indicative, “to say or speak.” “You are not at all speaking in parable.”

  6. The Lord seems to speak as He had before, yet the disciples seem to understand better than they had or they are just sucking up to Him.

  7. John 16:30,“Now we know that You know all things.”OIDA OIDA PANTA

  8. Jesus has been teaching them for 3 years and they have just decided that He knows what He is talking about.

  9. They had failed to understand the plain words of Jesus about going to the Father before this, John 16:5.

  10. Sometimes we think that we know. Rarely do we know that we know. But here the disciples did not know that they did not know.

  11. Jesus had revealed to them the thoughts of their hearts which was convincing proof of His knowledge.

  12. For the first time they seemed impressed with His knowledge, even though on numerous occasions He had manifested Divine knowledge, John 1:48.

  13. “And have no need for anyone to question You” This too may have been said to placate the Lord based on what He told them in verse 23, or….

  14. “There should not be a need to ask You since we can ask the Father.”

  15. “By this we believe that You came from God.”By His demonstration of a Divine Attribute, revealing to them what was on their mind, they came to belief.

  16. John 16:31, “Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe?””

  17. John 16:31, “Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe?””REALLY!!!!!

  18. In deity He knows what they are thinking. As a wise person He also understands their concerns, fear and anxiety. In His humanity, He answers them somewhat sarcastically.

  19. They are too self-confident here, as their despair at Christ’s arrest and death will show.

  20. John 16:32,“And has already come” Perfect Tense!The work of Satan in the body of Judas Iscariot to arrest Jesus and bring Him to the six trials culminating in the crucifixion. God’s Plan from eternity past.

  21. “You to be scattered” SKORPIZO - Aorist, Passive, Subjunctive: they have received dispersal, they have already been defeated.

  22. “Scattered” is descriptive of sheep left without a shepherd, John 10:11-12. See also the analogy in Zech 13:7.

  23. Zech 13:7, “Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd, and against the man, My Associate,” declares the LORD of hosts. “Strike the Shepherd that the sheep may be scattered; and I will turn My hand against the little ones.”

  24. “Each to his own” is fulfilled in this very Gospel, John 20:10

  25. “And yet I am not alone because the Father keeps on being with Me.”

  26. Although the Father would be with Him throughout the human ordeal, even the Father would finally forsake Jesus on the Cross as Jesus is paying the penalty for our sins.

  27. Yet the Word of God the Father would be resident in His soul which sustained Him even in that most crucial three hours.

  28. Here is the doctrine “God does not leave or forsake you.” Deut 31:6, 8; Josh 1:5; Psa 37:28; Heb 13:5
