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 ye may not be caused to stumble:

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.

Excommunicants from the synagogue, will they make you; Nay! there cometh an hour, that, every one who killeth you, shall think to be rendering, divine service, unto God!

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

And, these things, will they do, because they got to know, neither 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, whensoever their hour shall come, ye may remember, that, thereof, I told you. These things, however, I told you not, 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 go my way unto him that sent me, and, not one from among you, questioneth me—Whither goest thou?

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

But, because, these things, I have told 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, the truth, am telling you—It is profitable for you, that, I, depart; for, if I should not depart, The Advocate, would in nowise come unto you, but, if I go, 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, having come, He, will reprove the world—Concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment:

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

Concerning sin, indeed, because they are not believing on me;

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

But, concerning righteousness, because, unto the Father, I go my way, and, no longer, do ye behold me;

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

And, concerning judgment, because, the ruler of this world, hath been judged.

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

Yet many things, have I, unto you, to be saying, —but ye cannot bear them, just 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.

Howbeit, as soon as, he, hath come—The Spirit of truth, he will guide you into all truth; for he will not speak from himself, but, whatsoever he heareth, he will speak, and, the coming things, will he announce unto you.

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

He, shall glorify me; for, of mine, shall he receive, and announce 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, whatsoever the Father hath, are, my own; therefore, said I—Of mine, shall he receive, and announce 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, no longer, ye behold me; and, again a little while, and ye shall see me.

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?'"

Some of his disciples, therefore, said one to another—What is this which he is saying to us: —A little while, and ye behold me not, and, again a little while, and ye shall see me; and—Because I go my way unto 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 were saying, therefore—What is this which he saith: —A little while? We know not [what he is saying].

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?'

Jesus took note, that they were wishing to question him, and said unto them—Concerning this, are ye enquiring one with another, —because I said: —A little while, and ye behold me not, and, again, a little while, and ye 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—Ye, shall weep and lament, but, the world, shall rejoice: Ye, shall be grieved, but, your grief, into joy, shall be turned.

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, as soon as she is about to bring forth, hath, grief, because her hour hath come; but, as soon as she hath given birth to the child, no longer, remembereth she the anguish, by reason of the joy, that a human being into the world hath been born.

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, ye, therefore, now, indeed have grief; but, again, will I see you, and your heart shall rejoice, —and, your joy, no one, shall force 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, shall ye request me, nothing: —Verily, verily, I say unto you—Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father, He will give you, in my name.

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

Until even now, ye have asked nothing in my name: Be asking, and ye shall receive, —that, your joy, may be made 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, in similitudes, have I spoken unto you: There cometh an hour, when, no longer in similitudes, will I speak unto you, but, openly, concerning the Father, will I tell you.

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, In my name, shall ye ask: —and I say not that, I, will request 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, dearly loveth you, because, ye, have dearly loved me, and believed that, I, from the Father, came forth: —

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 out of the Father, and have come into the world, —Again, I leave the world, and go, unto the Father.

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

His disciples say—See! now, openly, art thou speaking, and, not a single similitude, art thou using:

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 hast, no need, that one be questioning thee. Hereby, do we believe, that, from God, thou camest forth.

31 Jesus answered them, "Do you now believe?

Jesus answered them—As yet, 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.

Lo! there cometh an hour, and hath come, that ye should be scattered, each, unto his own home; and, me, alone, should leave; —And yet I am not, alone, but, 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 spoken unto you, that, in me, ye may have, peace: In the world, ye have, tribulation; but be taking courage, —I, have overcome the world.
