John 16

1 "I have said all these things to you so that you may be kept from stumbling.

These things have I said to you, that ye may not be stumbled.

2 They will put you out of the synagogues, but an hour is coming when whoever kills you will think that he is offering a service to God.

For they will eject you from their synagogues; and the hour will come, that whoever shall kill you, will suppose that he presenteth an offering to God.

3 They will do these things because they have not known the Father or me.

And these things will they do, because they have not known either my Father, or me.

4 But I have told you these things, so that when their hour comes, you may remember that I told you about them. I did not tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.

These things have I spoken to you, that when the time of them cometh, ye may recollect, that I told you of them. And I did not tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.

5 But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?'

But now, I am going to Him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?

6 But because I have told you these things, sorrow has filled your heart.

And because I have told you these things, sorrow hath come and hath filled your hearts.

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper won't come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.

But I tell you the truth, that it is profitable for you that I go away; for, if I go not away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

8 When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, and about righteousness, and about judgment;

And when he is come, he will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.

9 about sin, because they do not believe in me;

Of sin because they believe not in me:

10 about righteousness, because I am going to the Father, and you won't see me any more;

and of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more:

11 about judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.

and of Judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

12 "I have yet many things to tell you, but you cannot bear them now.

Moreover, I have much to say to you: but ye cannot comprehend it now.

13 However when he, the Rukha of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak on his own; but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you things that are coming.

But when the Spirit of truth shall come, he will lead you into all the truth. For he will not speak from his own mind; but whatever he heareth, that will he speak: and he will make known to you things to come.

14 He will glorify me, for he will take from what is mine, and will declare it to you.

He will glorify me; because he will receive of what is mine, and will show it to you.

15 All things that the Father has are mine; that is why I said that he takes of mine, and will declare it to you.

Whatever the Father hath, is mine: therefore said I to you that he will receive of what is mine, and will show it to you.

16 A little while, and you will no longer see me. Again a little while, and you will see me."

A little while, and ye will not see me; and again a little while, and ye will see me; because I go to the Father.

17 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?'"

And his disciples said one to another: What is this that he saith to us, A little while, and ye will not see me and again a little while, and ye will see me, because I go to my Father?

18 So they kept asking, "What is this that he says, 'A little while?' We do not know what he is saying."

And they said: What is this little while, of which he speaketh? We know not what he saith.

19 Yeshua knew that they wanted to ask him, so 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?'

And Jesus knew, that they desired to ask him; and he said to them: Are ye debating with each other, of what I said to you, A little while, and ye will not see me, and again a little while, and ye will see me?

20 Truly, truly, 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.

Verily, verily, I say to you, That ye will weep and lament: And the world will rejoice, while to you will be sorrow. But your sorrow will be turned to joy.

21 A woman, when she gives birth, has pain, because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she does not remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is born into the world.

A woman, in bringing forth, hath sorrow, for the day of her travail hath come: but when she hath brought forth a son, she remembereth not her anguish, because of the joy that a human being is born into the world.

22 Therefore you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.

Ye also now have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will deprive you of your joy.

23 "And in that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.

And in that day ye will ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say to you, That whatsoever ye shall ask of my Father in my name, he will give to you.

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

Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and ye will receive; that your joy may be complete.

25 I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. The hour is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.

These things have I spoken to you in allegories: but the hour will come, when I shall not speak to you in allegories, but I will speak to you plainly of the Father.

26 In that day you will ask in my name, and I am not saying to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf,

In that day ye will ask in my name; and I do not say to you, that I will pray to the Father for you;

27 for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from God.

for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I proceeded from the presence of the Father.

28 I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world, and go to the Father."

I proceeded forth from before the Father, and came into the world; and again I leave the world, and go to the Father.

29 His disciples said to him, "Look, now you are speaking plainly and not in any figure of speech.

His disciples say to him: Lo, now thou speakest plainly, and thou utterest no allegory.

30 Now we know that you know all things and do not need anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came forth from God."

Now know we, that thou knowest every thing; and thou hast no need, that any one should ask thee: by this we believe, that thou didst proceed from God.

31 Yeshua answered them, "Do you now believe?

Jesus said to them: Do ye believe?

32 Look, the time is coming, and has come, that you will be scattered, everyone to his own place, and you will leave me alone. But I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

Behold, the hour cometh, and hath now come, when ye will be dispersed, each to his place; and ye will leave me alone. But I am not alone, for the Father is with me.

33 I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have oppression; but cheer up. I have overcome the world."

These things have I said to you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye will have trouble: but, take courage, I have vanquished the world.
