Matthew Poole and continuators on John 16:17

17 Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, A little while and ye shall see me: and, because I go to the Father? .

Christ had used much the same expression to the Iews, Chap. 7.33. Yet a little while I am with you; he had spake the same to his Disciples, Chap. 13.33. yet it is plain from this 17. ver. that his Disciples did not understand him; what need the best of us have of the illuminations of the blessed Spirit, rightly to conceive of, and understand Spiritual things? These Doctrines of his Death, Resurrection, Ascension, and coming to Iudgment, our Lord had incu[illegible: 3 letters] ted to his Disciples, not onely in the two Texts aforementioned, but also Chap. 8.21, 22. and 12.33, 36. and 14.2, 4, 12, 28. and in this Chapter, ver. 5.7.
