By saying that the night was coming, Jesus was referring to the time of his trial, impalement, and death, when his earthly ministry would end and he would be unable to engage in the works of his heavenly Father.
Öeldes, et tuleb öö, viitas Jeesus enda katsumuse, postile naelutamise ja surma ajale, mil tema maine teenistus pidi lõppema ja ta ei pidanud saama oma taevase Isa töödes osaleda.
