I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let’s go to him.”

EXPLANATION

Verse 15. When Christ says, that you may believe, we must not suppose he means, that they might begin then for the first time to believe, but that their faith, already begun, might be increased; for the faith of the disciples still stood in need of miracles, to make it grow more strong and rooted.
