< John 16 >
1 “These things I have spoken to you, that you may not be stumbled.
These thinges have I sayde vnto you because ye shuld 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 excomunicat you: ye ye tyme shall come that whosoever killeth you will thinke that he doth God service.
3 and these things they will do to you, because they did not know the Father, nor Me.
And suche thinges will they do vnto you because they have not knowen the father nether yet 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 thinges have I tolde you that when that houre is come ye myght remember them that I tolde you so. These thinges sayde I not unto you at the begynninge because I was present 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 goo my waye to him that sent me and none of you axeth me: whither goest thou?
6 But because I have said to you these things, the sorrow has filled your heart.
But because I have sayde suche thinges vnto you youre hertes are full of sorowe.
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;
Neverthelesse I tell you the trueth it is expedient for you that I goo awaye. For yf I goo not awaye that comforter will not come vnto you. But yf I departe I will sende him vnto 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 rebuke ye worlde of synne and of rightwesnes and of iudgement.
9 concerning sin indeed, because they do not believe in Me;
Of synne because they beleve not on me:
10 and concerning righteousness, because I go away to My Father, and you behold Me no more;
Of rightwesnes because I go to my father and ye shall se me no moare:
11 and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
and of iudgement because the chefe ruler of this worlde is iudged all ready.
12 I have yet many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear [them] now;
I have yet many thinges to saye vnto you: but ye canot beare them awaye 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;
How be it when he is come (I meane the sprete of truthe) he will leade yon into all trueth. He shall not speake of him selfe: but whatsoever he shall heare that shall he speake and he will shewe you thinges 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 receave of myne and shall shewe vnto 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 thinges that ye father hath aremyne. Therfore sayd I vnto you that he shall take of myne and shewe vnto 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.”
After a whyle ye shall not se me and agayne after a whyle ye shall se me: For I goo 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 sayd some of his disciples bitwene them selves: what is this yt he sayth vnto vs after a whyle ye shall not se me and agayne after a whyle ye shall se me: and that 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 sayd therfore: what is this that he sayth after a whyle? we canot tell what he sayth.
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?
Iesus perceaved yt they wolde axe him and sayd vnto them: This is it that ye enquyre of bitwene youre selves that I sayd after a whyle ye shall not se me and agayne after a whyle ye shall se 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.
Verely verely I saye vnto you: ye shall wepe and lamet and the worlde shall reioyce. Ye shall sorowe: but youre sorowe shalbe tourned to ioye.
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 traveyleth hath sorowe because her houre is come: but assone as she is delivered of the chylde she remembreth no moare the anguysshe for ioye that a man is borne in to the worlde
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 now are in sorowe: but I will se you agayne and youre hertes shall reioyce and youre ioye shall no ma take fro 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 daye shall ye axe me no question. Verely verely I saye vnto you whatsoever ye shall axe the father in my name he will geve it you
24 until now you asked nothing in My Name; ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
Hitherto have ye axed nothinge in my name. Axe and ye shall receave it: that youre ioye maye 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 thinges have I spoken vnto you in proverbes. The tyme will come when I shall no moare speake to you in proverbes: but I shall shewe you playnly from my 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 daye shall ye axe in myne name. And I saye not vnto you that I will speake vnto my 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 ye father him selfe loveth you because ye have loved me and have beleved 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 went out from the father and came into the worlde: and I leve the worlde agayne and go to ye father.
29 His disciples say to Him, “Behold, now You speak freely, and You do not speak allegory;
His disciples sayd vnto him: loo now speakest thou playnly and thou vsest no proverbe.
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.”
Nowe knowe we that thou vnderstondest all thinges and nedest not yt eny man shuld axe the eny question. Therfore beleve we that thou camst fro god.
31 Jesus answered them, “Now do you believe? Behold, there comes an hour,
Iesus answered them: Now ye do beleve.
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;
Beholde ye houre draweth nye and is already come yt ye shalbe scatered every man his wayes and shall leave me alone. And yet am I not alone. For ye 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 wordes have I spoke vnto you yt in me ye might have peace. For in ye worlde shall ye have tribulacio: but be of good cheare I have over come the worlde.
