Jesus knew the level of spiritual maturity of His Disciples. He was always very frank with them.

“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come; He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority; but whatever He hears He will speak; And He will tell you things to come.”
