Jesus continues to unfold the mystery of the Trinity to his apostles, even outlining what's going to happen after his death and resurrection. It was probably difficult -- and a little wacky -- to hear. He was going? He was going to send a spirit? That listened to him? And talked to them? Jesus acknowledged this. "You can't bear it now" is probably an understatement. But later, at Pentecost, when the Spirit descends, these words must have been in the front of their minds. The Spirit was there, hearing the Son, connected to the Father, and bringing believers into the divine embrace. This connection is the same as what we have today.
