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.
Tāpat kā saprātīgi vecāki parasti pagaida, kamēr bērns sasniegs atbilstošu vecumu, un tikai tad atklāj viņam noteiktu informāciju, Jēzus gaidīja, kamēr mācekļi sasniegs tādu garīgu briedumu, ka spēs saprast noteiktus faktus par Tēvu.
