JOHN 12:16 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.”
At first his disciples did not understand all this. Only after Jesus was glorified did they realize that these things had been written about him and that they had done these things for him — John notes that the disciples do not immediately comprehend the messianic significance of the entry; understanding comes only after the resurrection ('after Jesus was glorified'), when they can look back and recognize the fulfilled prophecies. This reflects the Johannine theme that full comprehension of Jesus' identity comes post-resurrection.
