John 16

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

These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be made to stumble.

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: yea, the hour cometh, that whosoever killeth you shall think that he offereth service unto God.

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

And these things will they do, 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 spoken unto you, that when their hour is come, ye may remember them, how that I told you. And these things I said not unto you from 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 unto him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?

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

But because I have spoken these things unto you, sorrow hath 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 unto you; but if I go, I will send him unto you.

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

And he, when he is come, will convict the world in respect 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 the Father, and ye behold me no more;

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

of judgment, because the prince of this world hath been 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 unto you, but ye 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;

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but what things soever he shall hear, [these] shall he speak: and he shall declare unto you the things that are 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 take of mine, and shall declare [it] unto 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 whatsoever the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he taketh of mine, and shall declare [it] unto 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 ye behold me no more; and again a little while, and ye shall see me.

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?”

[Some] of his disciples therefore said one to another, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye behold me not; and again a little while, and ye 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 saith, A little while? We know not what he saith.

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?

Jesus perceived that they were desirous to ask him, and he said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, A little while, and ye behold me not, and again a little while, and ye 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.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, that ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: ye 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 hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but when she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for the 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 ye therefore now have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one taketh away 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 ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, If ye shall ask anything of the Father, he will give it you in my name.

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

Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be fulfilled.

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 unto you in proverbs: the hour cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but shall tell 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,

In that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto 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 loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from the Father.

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 out from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go unto the Father.

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

His disciples say, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest 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 know we that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.

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

Jesus answered them, Do ye 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 cometh, yea, is 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.

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 have I spoken unto you, that in me ye may have peace. In the world ye have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
