John 16

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

These things have I spoken unto you, that all of you should not be offended.

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.

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

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

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

But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, all of you may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at 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 go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asks me, Where go you?

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

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

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.

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 depart, I will send him unto you.

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

And when he has come, he will reprove 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 on me;

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

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

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

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

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

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

13 However when he, the Spirit 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.

Nevertheless when he, the Spirit (pneuma) of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.

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

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

All things that the Father has are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show it unto 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 all of you shall not see me: and again, a little while, and all of you shall 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?'"

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

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

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

19 Jesus 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?'

Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do all of you enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and all of you shall not see me: and again, a little while, and all of you shall 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 unto you, That all of you shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and all of you shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into 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 when she is in travail has sorrow, because her hour has 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 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.

And all of 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 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 all of you shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever all of you shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.

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

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

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 unto you in proverbs: but the time comes, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall show 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,

At that day all of you shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray 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 loves you, because all of 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 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 said to him, "Look, now you are speaking plainly and not in any figure of speech.

His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speak you plainly, and speak no proverb.

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 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, "Do you now believe?

Jesus answered them, Do all of you now 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 comes, yea, is now come, that all of 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 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 I have spoken unto you, that in me all of you might have peace. In the world all of you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
