16:1 | "These things I have spoken to you, that you should not be made to stumble." |
16:2 | They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service." |
16:3 | And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me." |
16:4 | But these things I have told you, that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you of them. And these things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you." |
16:5 | "But now I go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, 'Where are You going?'" |
16:6 | But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart." |
16:7 | Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; because, if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you." |
16:8 | And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:" |
16:9 | of sin, because they do not believe on Me;" |
16:10 | of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more;" |
16:11 | of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged." |
16:12 | "I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now." |
16:13 | However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; because, He will not speak on from Himself, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will show you things to come." |
16:14 | He will glorify Me, because He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you." |
16:15 | All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you." |
16:16 | "A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me, because I go to the Father." |
16:17 | Then some of His disciples said among themselves, "What is this that He says to us, 'A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me'; and, 'because I go to the Father'?" |
16:18 | They said therefore, "What is this that He says, 'A little while'? We do not know what He is saying." |
16:19 | Now Jesus knew that they desired to ask Him, and He said to them, "Are you inquiring among yourselves about what I said, 'A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me'?" |
16:20 | Truly, truly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy." |
16:21 | A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because her hour has come; but as soon as she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world." |
16:22 | Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you." |
16:23 | "And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you." |
16:24 | Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full." |
16:25 | "These things I have spoken to you in proverbs; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in proverbs, but I will tell you plainly about the Father." |
16:26 | In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I will pray the Father for you;" |
16:27 | because the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God." |
16:28 | I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father." |
16:29 | His disciples said to Him, "See, now You are speaking plainly, and using no proverb! |
16:30 | Now we are sure that You know all things, and have no need that anyone should question You. By this we believe that You came forth from God." |
16:31 | Jesus replied to them, "Do you now believe?" |
16:32 | Behold, the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, each to his own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me." |
16:33 | These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." |
