By saying that the night was coming, Jesus was referring to the time of his trial, impalement, and death, when his earthly ministry would end and he would be unable to engage in the works of his heavenly Father.
Teikdams, ka nāk nakts, Jēzus norādīja uz laiku, kad viņš tiks tiesāts, piesists pie staba un nomirs, kad beigsies viņa kalpošana uz zemes un viņš nevarēs piedalīties sava debesu Tēva darbā.
