Clarke's John 16:29 Bible Commentary
Lo, now speakest thou plainly - The disciples received more light now, on the nature of Christ's person and office, than they had ever done before.
Barnes's John 16:29 Bible Commentary
Now speakest thou plainly - What he had said that perplexed them was that which is contained in John 16:16. Compare John 16:17-19; "A little while and ye shall not see me," etc. This he had now explained by saying John 16:28, "Again, I leave the world, and go to the Father." In this there was no ambiguity, and they expressed themselves satisfied with this explanation.
