John
Chapter 16
16:1 I have spoken to you* these things, that* you* should not be offended.
16:2 They will expel you* from the synagogues. But the hour is coming, that* everyone who kills you* may think that he is offering divine service to God.
16:3 And they will do these things to you *, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
16:4 But I have spoken these things to you*, that* whenever the hour has come, you* may remember them, that I told them to you*. And I did not say these things to you* from the beginning, because I was with you*.
16:5 But now I am going to him who sent me, and none out of you* asks me, Where are you going?
16:6 But because I have spoken these things to you*, sorrow has filled your* heart.
16:7 But I tell you* the truth. It is advantageous for you* that* I should go away; for* if I do not go away, the Helper* will not come to you*, but if I go-onward, I will send him to you*.
16:8 And when he has come, he will convict the world concerning sin and concerning righteousness and concerning judgment.
16:9 Concerning sin, indeed, because they did not believe in me;
16:10 concerning righteousness, because I am going to my Father and you* view me no more;
16:11 and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
16:12 I still have many things to say to you*, but you* cannot bear them now.
16:13 But whenever he, the Spirit of the truth, comes, he will guide you* into all the truth; for* he will not speak from himself, but as many things as he may hear, these he will speak and he will report to you* the things that are to come.
16:14 He will glorify me, because he will receive out of mine and will report it to you*.
16:15 All things, as many things as the Father has are mine, because of this, I said, that he is receiving out of mine and will report it to you*.
16:16 A little while and you* do not view me, and again a little while and you* will see me, because I am going to the Father.
16:17 Therefore , some out of his disciples said to one another, What is this that he says to us, A little while and you* do not view me, and again a little while and you* will see me, also, Because I am going to the Father?
16:18 Therefore they said, What is this that he says, A little while? We do not know the meaning of what he says.
16:19 Therefore, Jesus knew that they were wishing to ask him the meaning of this, and he said to them, Are you* debating with one another concerning this, that I said, A little while and you* do not view me, and again, A little while and you* will see me?
16:20 Assuredly, assuredly, I say to you* that you* will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice. But you* will be sorrowful, but your* sorrow will happen leading you * to joy.
16:21 A woman has sorrow whenever she gives-birth, because her hour has come, but whenever the child is born, she remembers the affliction no more, because of the joy that a child has been born into the world.
16:22 And therefore, you* now indeed have sorrow, but I will see you* again and your* heart will rejoice and no one takes your* joy away from you*.
16:23 And in that day you* will not be asking me anything. Assuredly, assuredly, I say to you* that as many things as you* may ask the Father, he will give it to you* in my name.
16:24 Until now you* have asked nothing in my name. Ask and you* will receive, that* your* joy may be fulfilled.
16:25 I have spoken these things to you* in metaphors, but the hour is coming, when I will no more speak to you* in metaphors, but will proclaim to you* frankly concerning the Father.
16:26 In that day you* will ask in my name and I do not say to you* that I will request of the Father concerning you*;
16:27 for* the Father himself loves you*, because you* have loved me and have believed that I came forth from God.
16:28 I came out from the Father and have come into the world, again, I am leaving the world and I am going-onward to the Father.
16:29 Then his disciples speak to him, Behold, now you speak frankly and are not speaking in a metaphor.
16:30 Now we know that you know all things and do not have need that* anyone should ask you. We believe that you came forth from God by this.
16:31 Jesus answered them, Do you* believe now?
16:32 Behold, the hour is coming and has now come, that* you* might be scattered, everyone to his own and you* might leave me alone and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
16:33 I have spoken to you* these things, that* you* may have peace in me. You* have affliction in the world, but have courage; I have overcome the world.
