Just as wise parents may withhold some information from their children until the children become old enough to understand, so Jesus waited until the disciples became mature and able to comprehend certain facts about the Father.
Seperti orang tua yang bijaksana tidak memberi tahu hal - hal tertentu kepada anak mereka sampai ia cukup dewasa untuk mengerti, Yesus pun menunggu sampai murid - muridnya menjadi matang dan sanggup memahami hal - hal tertentu tentang Sang Bapak.
