Chapter 16

¹ THESE things have I spoken to you, that you may not be scandalized.
² They will put you out of the synagogues: yea, the hour cometh, that whosoever killeth you, will think that he doth a service to God.
³ And these things will they do to you; because they have not known the Father, nor me.
⁴ But these things I have told you, that when the hour shall come, you may remember that I told you of them.
⁵ But I told you not these things from the beginning, because I was with you. And now I go to him that sent me, and none of you asketh me: Whither goest thou?
⁶ But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
⁷ But I tell you the truth: it is expedient to you that I go: for if I go not, the Paraclete will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
⁸ And when he is come, he will convince the world of sin, and of justice, and of judgment.
⁹ Of sin: because they believed not in me.
¹⁰ And of justice: because I go to the Father; and you shall see me no longer.
¹¹ And of judgment: because the prince of this world is already judged.
¹² I have yet many things to say to you: but you cannot bear them now.
¹³ But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will teach you all truth. For he shall not speak of himself; but what things soever he shall hear, he shall speak; and the things that are to come, he shall shew you.
¹⁴ He shall glorify me; because he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it to you.
¹⁵ All things whatsoever the Father hath, are mine. Therefore I said, that he shall receive of mine, and shew it to you.
¹⁶ A little while, and now you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me: because I go to the Father.
¹⁷ Then some of the disciples said one to another: What is this that he saith to us: A little while, and you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me, and, because I go to the Father?
¹⁸ They said therefore: What is this that he saith, A little while? we know not what he speaketh.
¹⁹ And Jesus knew that they had a mind to ask him; and he said to them: Of this do you inquire among yourselves, because I said: A little while, and you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me?
²⁰ Amen, amen I say to you, that you shall lament and weep, but the world shall rejoice; and you shall be made sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
²¹ A woman, when she is in labour, hath sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she hath brought forth the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
²² So also you now indeed have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice; and your joy no man shall take from you.
²³ And in that day you shall not ask me any thing. Amen, amen I say to you: if you ask the Father any thing in my name, he will give it you.
²⁴ Hitherto you have not asked any thing in my name. Ask, and you shall receive; that your joy may be full.
²⁵ These things I have spoken to you in proverbs. The hour cometh, when I will no more speak to you in proverbs, but will shew you plainly of the Father.
²⁶ In that day you shall ask in my name; and I say not to you, that I will ask the Father for you:
²⁷ For the Father himself loveth you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
²⁸ I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again I leave the world, and I go to the Father.
²⁹ His disciples say to him: Behold, now thou speakest plainly, and speakest no proverb.
³⁰ Now we know that thou knowest all things, and thou needest not that any man should ask thee. By this we believe that thou camest forth from God.
³¹ Jesus answered them: Do you now believe?
³² Behold, the hour cometh, and it is now come, that you shall be scattered every man to his own, and shall leave me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
³³ These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you shall have distress: but have confidence, I have overcome the world.

Chapter 16

¹ These things have I spoken to you, that ye should not be offended.
² They shall put you out of the synagogues: yes, the time cometh, that whoever killeth you, will think that he doeth God service.
³ And these things will they do to you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
⁴ But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not to you at the beginning, because I was with you.
⁵ But now I go to him that sent me, and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?
⁶ But because I have said these things to you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
⁷ Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I depart; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send him to you.
⁸ And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
⁹ Of sin, because they believe not on me;
¹⁰ Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
¹¹ Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
¹² I have yet many things to say to you, but ye cannot bear them now.
¹³ But, when he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all the truth: for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he shall hear, that will he speak: and he will show you things to come.
¹⁴ He will glorify me: for he will receive of mine, and will show it to you.
¹⁵ All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore I said, that he will take of mine, and show it to you.
¹⁶ A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.
¹⁷ Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith to us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?
¹⁸ They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.
¹⁹ Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said to them, Do ye inquire among yourselves of that which I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?
²⁰ Verily, verily, I say to you, that ye will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice: and ye will be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
²¹ A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
²² And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.
²³ And in that day ye will ask me nothing: Verily, verily, I say to you, Whatever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
²⁴ Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
²⁵ These things have I spoken to you in proverbs: but the time cometh when I shall no more speak to you in proverbs, but I shall show you plainly concerning the Father.
²⁶ At that day ye will ask in my name: and I say not to you, that I will pray the Father for you:
²⁷ For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came from God.
²⁸ I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.
²⁹ His disciples said to him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.
³⁰ Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest from God.
³¹ Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?
³² Behold, the hour cometh, and is even now come, that ye shall be scattered every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
³³ These things I have spoken to you, that in me ye may have peace. In the world ye will have tribulation, but be of good cheer: I have overcome the world.

Chapter 16

¹ things have I spoken to you, so that you wouldn't be caused to stumble.
² will put you out of the synagogues. Yes, the time comes that whoever kills you will think that he offers service to God.
³ will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me.
⁴ I have told you these things, so that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you about them. I didn't tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.
⁵ now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?'
⁶ because I have told you these things, sorrow has filled your heart.
⁷ I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I don't go away, the Counselor won't come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.
⁸ he has come, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment;
⁹ sin, because they don't believe in me;
¹⁰ righteousness, because I am going to my Father, and you won't see me any more;
¹¹ judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.
¹² have yet many things to tell you, but you can't bear them now.
¹³ when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.
¹⁴ will glorify me, for he will take from what is mine, and will declare it to you.
¹⁵ things whatever the Father has are mine; therefore I said that he takes of mine, and will declare it to you.
¹⁶ little while, and you will not see me. Again a little while, and you will see me."
¹⁷ of his disciples therefore said to one another, "What is this that he says to us, 'A little while, and you won't see me, and again a little while, and you will see me;' and, 'Because I go to the Father?'"
¹⁸ said therefore, "What is this that he says, 'A little while?' We don't know what he is saying."
¹⁹ Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, "Do you inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, 'A little while, and you won't see me, and again a little while, and you will see me?'
²⁰ certainly I tell you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.
²¹ woman, when she gives birth, has sorrow, because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she doesn't remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is born into the world.
²² you now have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.
²³ that day you will ask me no questions. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.
²⁴ now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.
²⁵ have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.
²⁶ that day you will ask in my name; and I don't say to you, that I will pray to the Father for you,
²⁷ the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from God.
²⁸ came out from the Father, and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world, and go to the Father."
²⁹ disciples said to him, "Behold, now you speak plainly, and speak no figures of speech.
³⁰ we know that you know all things, and don't need for anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came forth from God."
³¹ answered them, "Do you now believe?
³² the time is coming, yes, and has now come, that you will be scattered, everyone to his own place, and you will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
³³ have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have oppression; but cheer up! I have overcome the world."

Chapter 16

¹ These things I have spoken unto you that ye may not be offended.
² They shall put you out of the synagogues; but the hour is coming that every one who kills you will think to render service to God;
³ and these things they will do because they have not known the Father nor me.
⁴ But I have spoken these things to you, that when their hour shall have come, ye may remember them, that I have said [them] unto you. But I did not say these things unto you from [the] beginning, because I was with you.
⁵ But now I go to him that has sent me, and none of you demands of me, Where goest thou?
⁶ But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.
⁷ But I say the truth to you, It is profitable for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go I will send him to you.
⁸ And having come, he will bring demonstration to the world, of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
⁹ of sin, because they do not believe on me;
¹⁰ of righteousness, because I go away to [my] Father, and ye behold me no longer;
¹¹ of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
¹² I have yet many things to say to you, but ye cannot bear them now.
¹³ But when *he* is come, the Spirit of truth, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but whatsoever he shall hear he shall speak; and he will announce to you what is coming.
¹⁴ He shall glorify me, for he shall receive of mine and shall announce [it] to you.
¹⁵ All things that the Father has are mine; on account of this I have said that he receives of mine and shall announce [it] to you.
¹⁶ A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me, [because I go away to the Father].
¹⁷ [Some] of his disciples therefore said to one another, What is this he says to us, A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me, and, Because I go away to the Father?
¹⁸ They said therefore, What is this which he says [of] the little while? We do not know [of] what he speaks.
¹⁹ Jesus knew therefore that they desired to demand of him, and said to them, Do ye inquire of this among yourselves that I said, A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me?
²⁰ Verily, verily, I say to you, that ye shall weep and lament, ye, but the world shall rejoice; and ye will be grieved, but your grief shall be turned to joy.
²¹ A woman, when she gives birth to a child, has grief because her hour has come; but when the child is born, she no longer remembers the trouble, on account of the joy that a man has been born into the world.
²² And ye now therefore have grief; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one takes from you.
²³ And in that day ye shall demand nothing of me: verily, verily, I say to you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give you.
²⁴ Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
²⁵ These things I have spoken to you in allegories; the hour is coming that I will no longer speak to you in allegories, but will declare to you openly concerning the Father.
²⁶ In that day ye shall ask in my name; and I say not to you that I will demand of the Father for you,
²⁷ for the Father himself has affection for you, because ye have had affection for me, and have believed that I came out from God.
²⁸ I came out from the Father and have come into the world; again, I leave the world and go to the Father.
²⁹ His disciples say to him, Lo, now thou speakest openly and utterest no allegory.
³⁰ Now we know that thou knowest all things, and hast not need that any one should demand of thee. By this we believe that thou art come from God.
³¹ Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?
³² Behold, [the] hour is coming, and has come, that ye shall be scattered, each to his own, and shall leave me alone; and [yet] I am not alone, for the Father is with me.
³³ These things have I spoken to you that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye have tribulation; but be of good courage: I have overcome the world.

¹ These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be caused to stumble.
² They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the hour cometh, that whosoever killeth you shall think that he offereth service unto God.
³ And these things will they do, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
⁴ But these things have I spoken unto you, that when their hour is come, ye may remember them, how that I told you. And these things I said not unto you from the beginning, because I was with you.
⁵ But now I go unto him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?
⁶ But because I have spoken these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
⁷ Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I go, I will send him unto you.
⁸ And he, when he is come, will convict the world in respect of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
⁹ of sin, because they believe not on me;
¹⁰ of righteousness, because I go to the Father, and ye behold me no more;
¹¹ of judgment, because the prince of this world hath been judged.
¹² I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
¹³ Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but what things soever he shall hear, [these] shall he speak: and he shall declare unto you the things that are to come.
¹⁴ He shall glorify me: for he shall take of mine, and shall declare [it] unto you.
¹⁵ All things whatsoever the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he taketh of mine, and shall declare [it] unto you.
¹⁶ A little while, and ye behold me no more; and again a little while, and ye shall see me.
¹⁷ [Some] of his disciples therefore said one to another, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye behold me not; and again a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?
¹⁸ They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? We know not what he saith.
¹⁹ Jesus perceived that they were desirous to ask him, and he said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, A little while, and ye behold me not, and again a little while, and ye shall see me?
²⁰ Verily, verily, I say unto you, that ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
²¹ A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but when she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for the joy that a man is born into the world.
²² And ye therefore now have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one taketh away from you.
²³ And in that day ye shall ask me no question. Verily, verily, I say unto you, if ye shall ask anything of the Father, he will give it you in my name.
²⁴ Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be made full.
²⁵ These things have I spoken unto you in dark sayings: the hour cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in dark sayings, but shall tell you plainly of the Father.
²⁶ In that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you;
²⁷ for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from the Father.
²⁸ I came out from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go unto the Father.
²⁹ His disciples say, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no dark saying.
³⁰ Now know we that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.
³¹ Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?
³² Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and [yet] I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
³³ These things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye may have peace. In the world ye have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Chapter 16

¹ I have said these things to you so that you may not be in doubt.
² They will put you out of the Synagogues: yes, the time is coming when whoever puts you to death will have the belief that he is doing God's pleasure.
³ They will do these things to you because they have not had knowledge of the Father or of me.
⁴ I have said these things to you so that when the time comes, what I have said may come to your mind. I did not say them to you at the first, because then I was still with you.
⁵ But now I am going to him who sent me; and not one of you says to me, Where are you going?
⁶ But your hearts are full of sorrow because I have said these things.
⁷ But what I am saying is true: my going is for your good: for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
⁸ And he, when he comes, will make the world conscious of sin, and of righteousness, and of being judged:
⁹ Of sin, because they have not faith in me;
¹⁰ Of righteousness, because I go to the Father and you will see me no more;
¹¹ Of being judged, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
¹² I have still much to say to you, but you are not strong enough for it now.
¹³ However, when he, the Spirit of true knowledge, has come, he will be your guide into all true knowledge: for his words will not come from himself, but whatever has come to his hearing, that he will say: and he will make clear to you the things to come.
¹⁴ He will give me glory, because he will take of what is mine, and make it clear to you.
¹⁵ Everything which the Father has is mine: that is why I say, He will take of what is mine and will make it clear to you.
¹⁶ After a little time you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me.
¹⁷ So some of the disciples said one to another, What is this he is saying, After a little time, you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me? and, I am going to the Father?
¹⁸ So they said again and again, What is this he is saying, A little time? His words are not clear to us.
¹⁹ Jesus saw that they had a desire to put the question to him, so he said to them, Is this what you are questioning one with another, why I said, After a little time, you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me?
²⁰ Truly I say to you, You will be weeping and sorrowing, but the world will be glad: you will be sad, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.
²¹ When a woman is about to give birth she has sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she has given birth to the child, the pain is put out of her mind by the joy that a man has come into the world.
²² So you have sorrow now: but I will see you again, and your hearts will be glad, and no one will take away your joy.
²³ And on that day you will put no questions to me. Truly I say to you, Whatever request you make to the Father, he will give it to you in my name.
²⁴ Up to now you have made no request in my name: do so, and it will be answered, so that your hearts may be full of joy.
²⁵ All this I have said to you in veiled language: but the time is coming when I will no longer say things in veiled language but will give you knowledge of the Father clearly.
²⁶ In that day you will make requests in my name: and I do not say that I will make prayer to the Father for you,
²⁷ For the Father himself gives his love to you, because you have given your love to me and have had faith that I came from God.
²⁸ I came out from the Father and have come into the world: again, I go away from the world and go to the Father.
²⁹ His disciples said, Now you are talking clearly and not in veiled language.
³⁰ Now we are certain that you have knowledge of all things and have no need for anyone to put questions to you: through this we have faith that you came from God.
³¹ Jesus made answer, Have you faith now?
³² See, a time is coming, yes, it is now here, when you will go away in all directions, every man to his house, and I will be by myself: but I am not by myself, because the Father is with me.
³³ I have said all these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble: but take heart! I have overcome the world.
