Commentary on John 12:16
The disciples didn't understand these events initially but comprehended after Jesus' glorification (resurrection and ascension). The Holy Spirit's post-Pentecost illumination enabled them to connect Jesus' actions with Scripture. This demonstrates the principle that understanding follows event; interpretation requires Spirit-given insight. Their later remembrance that 'these things were written of him' shows how the Spirit illuminates Scripture's Christ-centered nature. This validates the necessity of regeneration and Spirit-baptism for properly understanding God's word.
