John 16:19

ἔγνω. Perceived or recognised: see on John 2:25. We are perhaps to understand from γινώσκειν being used rather than εἰδεναι that it was by His natural powers of observation that He perceived this. Where these sufficed we may believe that His supernatural power of reading men’s thoughts was not used: comp. John 5:6; John 6:15. In translation mark the difference between μετ' ἀλλήλων, one with another, πρὸς� (John 16:17; John 4:33), one to another, and πρὸς ἑαυτούς (John 7:35; John 12:19), among themselves: Concerning this do ye enquire one with another.
