John 16

1 These things have I spoken to you, that ye may not fall away.

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

2 They will put you out of the synagogues; yea, the hour is coming when every one that killeth you will think that he is offering sacrifice to God.

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.

3 And these things will they do, because they neither know the Father nor me.

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

4 But I have spoken these things to you, that, when the time cometh, ye may remember that I myself told you of them. But these things I told you not at the beginning, because I was with you.

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.

5 But now I go to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?

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

6 But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow hath filled your hearts.

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

7 But I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I depart. For if I do not depart, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

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.

8 And when he is come, he will bring conviction to the world, of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.

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

9 Of sin, because they believe not in me;

about sin, because they do not believe in me;

10 of righteousness, because I go to the Father, and ye see me no more;

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

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

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

12 I have yet many things to say to you, but ye cannot bear them now.

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

13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all the truth. For he will not speak from himself, but whatever he shall hear, that he will speak; and he will tell you the things to come.

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.

14 He will glorify me, for he will receive of what is mine, and will tell it to you.

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

15 Every thing that the Father hath is mine. For this cause I said, that he receiveth of what is mine, and will tell it to you.

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

16 A little while, and ye no longer behold me; and again a little while, and ye will see me.

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

17 Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, What is this that he saith to us, A little while, and ye behold me not, and again a little while, and ye will see me? and, Because I go to the Father?

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?'"

18 They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? We do not know what he is speaking of.

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

19 Jesus knew that they were desirous of asking him, and said to them, Is it of this that ye are inquiring of one another, that I said, A little while, and ye behold me not, and again a little while, and ye will See me?

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?'

20 Truly, truly do I say to you, that ye will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; ye will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

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.

21 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come; but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, through joy that a man is born into the world.

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.

22 So ye also now have sorrow; but I shall see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one taketh from you.

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.

23 And in that day ye will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly do I say to you, Whatever ye shall ask the Father, he will give it you in my name.

"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.

24 Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my name; ask, and ye will receive, that your joy may be made full.

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

25 These things I have spoken to you in parables. The time is coming, when I shall no more speak to you in parables, but shall tell you plainly of the Father.

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.

26 In that day ye will ask in my name; and I do not tell you that I will pray the Father for you;

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,

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

for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came forth 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 have come into the world. Again, I leave the world, and go to the Father."

29 His disciples say, Lo! now thou speakest plainly, and speakest no parable.

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

30 Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any one should ask thee; by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.

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."

31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?

Yeshua answered them, "Do you now believe?

32 Behold, the hour is coming, yea, is now come, when ye will be scattered, every one to his own, and will leave me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

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.

33 These things I have spoken to you, that in me ye may have peace. In the world ye have tribulation; but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

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."
