Saying 92: Now I Am Willing to Tell You
Seek and you will find. In the past I did not tell you the things you asked about; now I am willing to tell them, and you are not looking for them.
Commentary
The disciples’ curiosity has expired at exactly the moment the teacher becomes available. A quiet joke, and a rebuke.
