QUESTION: What things did the disciples not understand about Jesus?
ANSWER: There were many things that, at the first, they did not understand.
They did not understand when He spoke of His death (Luke 9:43-45; Luke 18:31-
34); when He spoke of the Father (John 8:27); when He spoke in parables (John
10:6); nor when He spoke of the establishment of His spiritual kingdom, the
church (Luke 18:20-37; Acts 1:6-7). They would not understand or remember these things fully until Jesus was glorified (John 12:16), that is, until He was
resurrected and enthroned at the right hand of God. The Holy Spirit, who would
guide them into all truth (John 16:13) and bring all things to their remembrance
(John 14:26) was not promised or could be given to them until after Jesus was
glorified (John 7:39). After this was accomplished, the Holy Spirit was given to
the twelve in a great way in Acts 2:1-4, after which they understood and
remembered all things “whatsoever I have said unto you” (John 14:26; John
15:26; John 16:13).
