SCRIPTURE

"But because I have spoken these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart." — John 16:6 (ASV)

Sorrow hath filled (η λυπη πεπληρωκεν). This word is not used of Jesus in the Gospels, in John only in this chapter. Perfect active indicative of πληροω. They do not see their way to go on without Jesus.
