Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, so he said to them, 'Are you discussing among yourselves what I meant by saying, "A little while, and you will no longer see me, and again a little while, and you will see me"?' — Jesus' knowledge (ginōskō—to know, perceive) that the disciples wished to ask demonstrates his omniscience; he knows the hidden longings and questions of their hearts. Rather than waiting for them to ask, he anticipates their confusion and begins to interpret his own saying.
