The "hour" often refers to significant moments in Jesus' ministry, particularly His passion and crucifixion. This reflects the fulfillment of divine timing, as seen in <a href="/john/2-4.htm">John 2:4</a> and <a href="/john/12-23.htm">John 12:23</a>, where Jesus speaks of His "hour" in terms of His mission and glorification. The duality of "is coming and has already come" suggests the unfolding of God's plan, emphasizing the inevitability of the disciples' scattering.when you will be scattered, each to his own home This scattering fulfills the prophecy found in <a href="/zechariah/13-7.htm">Zechariah 13:7</a>, "Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered." The disciples' dispersion highlights their human frailty and fear in the face of persecution. Historically, this scattering occurred after Jesus' arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane (<a href="/matthew/26-56.htm">Matthew 26:56</a>). The phrase "each to his own home" underscores the personal retreat and isolation the disciples experienced, reflecting their initial inability to stand firm in their faith.and you will leave Me all alone This statement foreshadows the abandonment Jesus would face from His closest followers. It emphasizes the loneliness and betrayal He would endure, aligning with <a href="/psalms/22.htm">Psalm 22:1</a>, which Jesus quotes on the cross, expressing His sense of forsakenness. Theologically, this abandonment highlights the depth of Jesus' sacrifice, as He faced the crucifixion without human support, fulfilling His role as the suffering servant prophesied in <a href="/isaiah/53.htm">Isaiah 53</a>.Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me Despite the physical abandonment by His disciples, Jesus affirms His unity with the Father. This reflects the intimate relationship within the Trinity, as seen throughout the Gospel of John (<a href="/john/10-30.htm">John 10:30</a>, <a href="/john/14-10.htm">John 14:10-11</a>). The presence of the Father with Jesus during His trials underscores the divine support and purpose in His mission.

That is, as the margin renders it, "to his own home." (Comp.

He, too, though apparently left alone, had His own home in the presence of the Father, which was ever with Him. The fact of their leaving Him could not in truth have added to His sense of loneliness. He must, even when surrounded by them, have always been alone. The thoughts of His mind were so infinitely beyond them, that the true sympathy which binds souls in companionship could never have had place. And yet He was never alone, for His life was one of constant communion with the Father. (Comp. the consciousness of this in <a href="/john/8-29.htm" title="And he that sent me is with me: the Father has not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.">John 8:29</a>.) Once only do we find the vision of the Father's presence eclipsed for a moment by the thick darkness of the world's sin; but the wail of agony, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?" (<a href="/matthew/27-46.htm" title="And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?">Matthew 27:46</a>) is straightway followed by the assurance of His presence, "Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit" (<a href="/luke/23-46.htm" title="And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into your hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.">Luke 23:46</a>.) . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/john/16.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 32. - Behold, the hour cometh, [yea] is come, that (see Ver. 2. The effort made by some to preserve the relic force of ῖνα here breaks down. It has very little more than the power of "when," and the bringing in of the notion of a purpose or Divine counsel encumbers the sense) you shall be scattered (i.e. the fact is as good as already enacted) every man to his own, and shall leave me alone. The σκορκισθῆτε points back to <a href="/zechariah/13-7.htm">Zechariah 13:7</a>, and reminds us of our Lord's recent quotation of this very prophecy, and his application of it to the disciples (<a href="/matthew/26-31.htm">Matthew 26:31, 32</a>). This falling away from Jesus as he rises more and more into the greatness of his work is one of the witnesses of his Divine mission into such a world as this First the Galilaean hosts and the multitudes who shouted "Hosanna!" then his own brethren, then all except the twelve, then all the authorities, are openly hostile. Even Joseph and Nicodemus and Lazarus are silent, Judas is treacherous; but the eleven still cling to him. Soon Christ selects from the faithful few the faithfullest for the watch over his last agony, but one of these denies him, and they all forsake him and flee. John and his mother, who follow within earshot of the cross, are sent to their own home, and there is a moment when he is absolutely alone. He even says, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" But as in this agony he can still say, "Father, into thy hands," so here he anticipates the Divine overshadowing presence, and adds, Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. The sublimest word of all, charged with consolation. <a href="/commentaries/john/16-32.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>“Look, ἰδοὺ (idou) Verb - Aorist Imperative Active - 2nd Person Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_2400.htm">Strong's 2400: </a> See!
