< John 16 >
1 These things I have spoken unto you that ye may not be offended.
These things have I 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;
for they will excommunicate you: yea, the time is coming, that whosoever killeth you, will think that he offers an acceptable service to God.
3 and these things they will do because they have not known the Father nor me.
And these things will they do unto you; 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.
But I have told you these things, that when the time cometh, ye may remember that I told you of them. Though I did not tell you of them at 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?
But now I am going away to Him that sent me, and yet none of you asketh me, Whither art thou going? but because I have said these things to you,
6 But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.
sorrow hath 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.
Nevertheless I tell you the truth, it is expedient for you that I should 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.
8 And having come, he will bring demonstration to the world, of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
And when He comes, He will convince the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgement:
9 of sin, because they do not believe on me;
of sin, because they believe not on me;
10 of righteousness, because I go away to [my] Father, and ye behold me no longer;
of righteousness, because I am going to my Father and ye shall see me no more;
11 of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
and of judgement, because the prince of this world is judged.
12 I have yet many things to say to you, but ye cannot bear them now.
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.
But when the Spirit of truth is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He will not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that will He speak, and will shew you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me, for he shall receive of mine and shall announce [it] to you.
He shall glorify me, for He shall take of mine and shew it unto 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.
All that the Father hath are mine: therefore I said, that He shall take of mine and shew it unto 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].
A little while and ye shall not see me: and again a little while and ye shall see me, because I am going 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?
Some of his disciples therefore said one to another, What is the meaning of 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 am going 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.
they said therefore, What is this little while that He speaks of? we do not understand what He means.
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?
Now Jesus knew that they wanted to ask Him, and therefore said unto them, Are ye enquiring among each other about this, that 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 shall weep and lament, ye, but the world shall rejoice; and ye will be grieved, but your grief shall be turned to joy.
Verily I tell 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.
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.
A woman when she is in labor, hath sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she is delivered of the child, she thinks no more of the anguish, for joy, that a man is 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.
And ye therefore now have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy shall no one take 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.
And in that day ye shall ask me nothing: but I assure you, that whatsoever ye shall ask of 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.
Hitherto ye have asked for 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.
These things have I spoken to you in parables: but the time is coming when I shall no more speak to you in parables, but tell you with plainness 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,
In that day ye shall ask in my name; and I do not say that I will ask the Father on your behalf.
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.
For the Father himself loveth you; because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came from God: and I indeed came from the Father,
28 I came out from the Father and have come into the world; again, I leave the world and go to the Father.
and am come into the world: but now I am leaving the world again, and am going to the Father.
29 His disciples say to him, Lo, now thou speakest openly and utterest no allegory.
His disciples said unto Him, Now indeed Thou speakest plainly, and usest no parable.
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.
Now we are convinced that Thou knowest all things, and hast no need that any one should ask Thee: by this we believe that Thou camest forth from God.
31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?
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.
Behold, the time is coming, and is even now come, that ye shall be dispersed every one his own way, and shall leave me alone: but 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.
These things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have trouble: but be of good courage, I have overcome the world.
