At that day you shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:
All Commentaries on John 16:26 Go To John 16
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
In that day . I say not to you that I will ask the Father for you, or shall need to ask the Father for you, though I am your Redeemer, your chief Advocate and Mediator, by dying for all the world.
For the Father himself loveth you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from God, sent to be your Redeemer.
I came forth from the Father, both as begotten of him from all eternity; and I also came into the world, as sent from him to become man, to become the Redeemer of the world, both as God and man. Now I am going, as man, to leave the world, and go to the Father, with whom I am, and have always been, as God. (Witham)
