“I have said these things to you so that you wouldn’t be caused to stumble.

They will put you out of the synagogues. Yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers service to God.
They will do these things because they have not known the Father nor me.
4 ⲇ̅ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲁⲓ̈ϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲉ͡ⲓ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲉⲣ̅ⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲓ̈ϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓϫⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲓⲛⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲓ̈ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲡⲉ
But 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.
But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’
But because I have told you these things, sorrow has filled your heart.
7 ⲍ̅ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲓ̈ϫⲱ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ. ⲥⲣ̅ⲛⲟϥⲣⲉ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲉ͡ⲓⲉⲃⲱⲕ. ⲉⲉ͡ⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲃⲱⲕ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲗⲏⲧⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲩ ⲁⲛ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅. ⲉⲉ͡ⲓϣⲁⲛⲃⲱⲕ ⲇⲉ. ϯⲛⲁⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲟⲩϥ ϣⲁⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅.
Nevertheless 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.
When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment;
about sin, because they don’t believe in me;
about righteousness, because I am going to my Father, and you won’t see me any more;
about judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.
“I still have many things to tell you, but you can’t bear them now.
13 ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ ϩⲟⲧⲁⲛ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲡⲏ ⲉ͡ⲓ ⲡⲉⲡⲛ̅ⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲉ. ϥⲛⲁϫⲓⲙⲟⲓ̈ⲧ ϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲙⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ. ⲛⲉϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁϥ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϥⲛⲁϫⲉⲡⲉⲧϥ̅ⲛⲁⲥⲟⲧⲙⲉϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲛⲁⲧⲁⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ.
However, 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.
He will glorify me, for he will take from what is mine and will declare it to you.
15 ⲓ̅ⲉ̅
All things that the Father has are mine; therefore I said that he takes of mine and will declare it to you.
“A little while, and you will not see me. Again a little while, and you will see me.”
17 ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲉϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲉⲣⲏⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧϥ̅ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲕⲉⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈ ⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲙ̅ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲉ͡ⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲕⲉⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈ (ⲡⲉ) ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ̈ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲓ̈ⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ϣⲁⲡⲓⲱⲧ.
Some 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’?”
They said therefore, “What is this that he says, ‘A little while’? We don’t know what he is saying.”
19 ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ ⲁϥⲉ͡ⲓⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉϫⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲙ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲛⲉⲣⲏⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓ̈ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲕⲉⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈ (ⲡⲉ) ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲗⲟ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ̈ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲕⲉⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲩ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ̈.
Therefore 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 ⲕ̅ ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ ϩⲁⲙⲏⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲣⲓⲙⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲓ̈ⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅. ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ϥⲛⲁⲣⲁϣⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲗⲩⲡⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲗⲩⲡⲏ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲉⲩⲣⲁϣⲉ.
Most 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.

A 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 ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϭⲉ ϩⲱⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅ ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲏⲧⲛ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲗⲩⲡⲏ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ϯⲛⲁⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲛⲁϥⲓⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲣⲁϣⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅.
Therefore 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.

“In 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.
Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.

“I 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 ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲁⲓⲧⲓ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ϯⲛⲁϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲥⲉⲡⲥ̅ⲡⲓⲱⲧ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ̅.
In 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 ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟϥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲓⲱⲧ ϥⲙⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲱⲧⲛ̅ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲓ̈ⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲱⲧ.
for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came from God.
I came from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.”
His disciples said to him, “Behold, now you are speaking plainly, and using no figures of speech.

Now we know that you know all things, and don’t need for anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came from God.”
Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe?

Behold, 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.

I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble; but cheer up! I have overcome the world.”
