Yochanan 16

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

These things have I spoken to you, that you may not be scandalized.

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 will put you out of the synagogues: yea, the hour cometh, that whosoever killeth you, will think that he doth a service to God.

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

And these things will they do to 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 I have told you, that when the hour shall come, you may remember that I told you of them.

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

But I told you not these things from the beginning, because I was with you. And now I go 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.

But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow hath 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.

But I tell you the truth: it is expedient to you that I go: for if I go not, the Paraclete 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 convince the world of sin, and of justice, and of judgment.

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

Of sin: because they believed not in me.

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

And of justice: because I go to the Father; and you shall see me no longer.

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

And of judgment: because the prince of this world is already judged.

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

I have yet many things to say to you: but 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.

But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will teach you all truth. For he shall not speak of himself; but what things soever he shall hear, he shall speak; and the things that are to come, he shall shew you.

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

He shall glorify me; because he shall receive of mine, and shall shew 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.

All things whatsoever the Father hath, are mine. Therefore I said, that he shall receive of mine, and shew 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 now you shall not see me; and again a little while, and 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 some of the disciples said one to another: What is this that he saith 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 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 saith, A little while? we know not what he speaketh.

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?'

And Jesus knew that they had a mind to ask him; and he said to them: Of this do you inquire among yourselves, because 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 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.

Amen, amen I say to you, that you shall lament and weep, but the world shall rejoice; and you shall be made 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 labour, hath sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she hath brought forth the child, she remembereth 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.

So also you now indeed have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice; and your joy no man shall take 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 you shall not ask me any thing. Amen, amen I say to you: if you ask the Father any thing 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.

Hitherto you have not asked any thing in my name. Ask, and 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 I have spoken to you in proverbs. The hour cometh, when I will no more speak to you in proverbs, but will shew 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 you shall ask in my name; and I say not to you, that I will ask 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 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 I 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: Behold, now thou speakest plainly, and speakest 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 we know that thou knowest all things, and thou needest not that any man should ask thee. By this we believe that thou camest forth from God.

31 Jesus answered them, "Do you now believe?

Jesus answered them: Do 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 cometh, and it 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 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 to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you shall have distress: but have confidence, I have overcome the world.
