16:1 | | These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. |
16:2 | | They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. |
16:3 | | And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. |
16:4 | | 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 unto you at the beginning, because I was with you. |
16:5 | | But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? |
16:6 | | But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart. |
16:7 | | 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 depart, I will send him unto you. |
16:8 | | And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: |
16:9 | | Of sin, because they believe not on me; |
16:10 | | Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; |
16:11 | | Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. |
16:12 | | I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. |
16:13 | | Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. |
16:14 | | He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. |
16:15 | | All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. |
16:16 | | 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. |
16:17 | | Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto 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? |
16:18 | | They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith. |
16:19 | | Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me? |
16:20 | | Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. |
16:21 | | 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. |
16:22 | | 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. |
16:23 | | And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. |
16:24 | | Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. |
16:25 | | These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father. |
16:26 | | At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: |
16:27 | | For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. |
16:28 | | I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. |
16:29 | | His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb. |
16:30 | | 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 forth from God. |
16:31 | | Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe? |
16:32 | | Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is 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. |
16:33 | | These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. |
