John 16

1 “These things I have spoken to you, that you may not be stumbled.

These things have I spoken to you, that you should not be offended.

2 They will put you out of the synagogues, but an hour comes that everyone who has killed you may think to offer service to God;

They shall put you out of the synagogues: yes, the time comes, that whoever kills you will think that he does God service.

3 and these things they will do to you, because they did not know the Father, nor Me.

And these things will they do to you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.

4 But these things I have spoken to you, that when the hour may come, you may remember them, that I said [them] to you, and I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you;

But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, you may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not to you at the beginning, because I was with you.

5 and now I go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, To where do you go?

But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asks me, Where go you?

6 But because I have said to you these things, the sorrow has filled your heart.

But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.

7 But I tell you the truth; it is better for you that I go away, for if I may not go away, the Comforter will not come to you, and if I go on, I will send Him to you;

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 to you; but if I depart, I will send him to you.

8 and having come, He will convict the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment;

And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

9 concerning sin indeed, because they do not believe in Me;

Of sin, because they believe not on me;

10 and concerning righteousness, because I go away to My Father, and you behold Me no more;

Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and you see me no more;

11 and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

12 I have yet many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear [them] now;

I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.

13 and when He may come—the Spirit of truth—He will guide you to all the truth, for He will not speak from Himself, but as many things as He will hear He will speak, and the coming things He will tell you;

However, when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.

14 He will glorify Me, because He will take of Mine, and will tell to you.

He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it to you.

15 All things, as many as the Father has, are Mine; because of this I said that He will take of Mine, and will tell to you;

All things that the Father has are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show it to you.

16 a little while, and you do not behold Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me, because I go away to the Father.”

A little while, and you shall not see me: and again, a little while, and you shall see me, because I go to the Father.

17 Therefore [some] of His disciples said to one another, “What is this that He says to us, A little while, and you do not behold Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me, and, Because I go away to the Father?”

Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he says to us, A little while, and you shall not see me: and again, a little while, and you shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?

18 They said then, “What is this He says—the little while? We have not known what He says.”

They said therefore, What is this that he says, A little while? we cannot tell what he said.

19 Jesus, therefore, knew that they were wishing to ask Him, and He said to them, “Concerning this do you seek with one another, because I said, A little while, and you do not behold Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me?

Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said to them, Do you inquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and you shall not see me: and again, a little while, and you shall see me?

20 Truly, truly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, and the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will become joy.

Truly, truly, I say to you, That you shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and you shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

21 The woman, when she may bear, has sorrow, because her hour came, and when she may bear the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, because of the joy that a man was born into the world.

A woman when she is in travail has sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembers no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.

22 And you, therefore, now indeed have sorrow; and again I will see you, and your heart will rejoice, and no one takes your joy from you,

And you now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man takes from you.

23 and in that day you will question nothing of Me; truly, truly, I say to you, as many things as you may ask of the Father in My Name, He will give you;

And in that day you shall ask me nothing. Truly, truly, I say to you, Whatever you shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.

24 until now you asked nothing in My Name; ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

Till now have you asked nothing in my name: ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full.

25 I have spoken these things in allegories to you, but there comes an hour when I will no longer speak to you in allegories, but will tell you freely of the Father.

These things have I spoken to you in proverbs: but the time comes, when I shall no more speak to you in proverbs, but I shall show you plainly of the Father.

26 In that day you will make request in My Name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father for you,

At that day you shall ask in my name: and I say not to you, that I will pray the Father for you:

27 for the Father Himself cherishes you, because you have cherished Me, and you have believed that I came forth from God;

For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.

28 I came forth from the Father, and have come into the world; again I leave the world, and go on to the Father.”

I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.

29 His disciples say to Him, “Behold, now You speak freely, and You do not speak allegory;

His disciples said to him, See, now speak you plainly, and speak no proverb.

30 now we have known that You have known all things, and have no need that anyone questions You; in this we believe that You came forth from God.”

Now are we sure that you know all things, and need not that any man should ask you: by this we believe that you came forth from God.

31 Jesus answered them, “Now do you believe? Behold, there comes an hour,

Jesus answered them, Do you now believe?

32 and now it has come, that you may be scattered, each to his own things, and you may leave Me alone, and I am not alone, because the Father is with Me;

Behold, the hour comes, yes, is now come, that you 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.

33 these things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace, in the world you will have tribulation, but take courage—I have overcome the world.”

These things I have spoken to you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
