SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 16:4c–15 Jesus would send the Holy Spirit

Jesus told his disciples that it was for their benefit that he would leave. That is because he would send the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit would prove that the world was wrong in their sin and righteousness and judgment. He would also lead the disciples into all truth, which comes from Jesus and his Father.

Here are some other possible section headings:

What the Holy Spirit would do when he came

The Holy Spirit will teach the world and Jesus’ disciples

Paragraph 16:12–15

Jesus told his disciples that the Holy Spirit will teach them about him.

16:12

I still have much to tell you, but you cannot yet bear to hear it.

¶ “I have much more to say to you, but right now it would be more than you could understand. (CEV)
¶ “There is much more that you^(plur) need to know, but you could/would not understand it if I told you now so I will not.

I still have much to tell you: This clause indicates that there were many more things Jesus wanted his disciples to know. There were things that he had not yet taught them but that he wanted to teach them. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

There is much more that I could say to you (REB)

I have a lot more to tell you (GW)

I: This pronoun refers to Jesus.

you: This pronoun is plural and refers to the disciples.

but you cannot yet bear to hear it: This clause indicates that it would be hard for the disciples if Jesus immediately taught them everything that they should know. They could not bear (endure, accept) hearing these additional things from Jesus. There were things that Jesus’ disciples were not yet able to understand and accept. Therefore, Jesus implied, he would not teach them these truths himself, but the Holy Spirit would guide them when he came. It would not be helpful for them at this time. For example:

but they are too much for you now (NCV)

right now it would be more than you could understand (CEV)

but as yet you cannot bear/endure them, I will not say them

The Greek and many English versions end this verse with “now.” It is a time word that refers to when Jesus was speaking with the disciples.
