John 16

1 These things, have I spoken unto you, that ye may not be caused to stumble:

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

2 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!

They will put you out of the synagogues; indeed, the time is coming, when he that kills you, will think that he is offering service to God.

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

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

4 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;

But these things I have told you, that, when the time has come, you may remember that I told you of them. But these things I did not tell you at the beginning, because I was with you.

5 But, now, I go my way unto him that sent me, and, not one from among you, questioneth me—Whither goest thou?

And now I go to him that sent me, and no one of you asks me, Whither goest thou?

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

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

7 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.

But yet I tell you the truth: it is profitable for you that I go away. For if I go not away, the Paraclete will not come to you. But if I go away, I will send him to you.

8 And, having come, He, will reprove the world—Concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment:

And when he has come, he will convince the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.

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

Of sin, because they believe not on me;

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

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

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

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

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

I have yet many things to say to you; but you can not bear them now.

13 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.

But when he, the Spirit of the truth, has come, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak of himself; but what he hears, that will he speak, and he will show you things to come.

14 He, shall glorify me; for, of mine, shall he receive, and announce unto you.

He will glorify me; for he will take of mine, and show it to you.

15 All things, whatsoever the Father hath, are, my own; therefore, said I—Of mine, shall he receive, and announce unto you.

All things that the Father has are mine; for this reason I said, that he will take of mine, and show it to you.

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

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

17 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?

Then some of his disciples said one to another: What is this that he says to us, A little while, and you will not see me; and again, a little while, and you will see me? and, Be cause I go to the Father?

18 They were saying, therefore—What is this which he saith: —A little while? We know not [what he is saying].

Therefore they said: What is this that he says, The little while? We know not what he says.

19 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?

Then Jesus knew that they wished to ask him; and he said to them: Are you inquiring of one another about this, because I said, A little while and you will not see me; and again, a little while, and you will see me?

20 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.

Verily, verily I say to you, you shall weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

21 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.

A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow, be cause her hour has come; but when the child is born, she no longer remembers the pain, for joy that a man is born into the world.

22 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.

You, therefore, have sorrow now; but I shall see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one takes from you.

23 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.

And in that day you shall ask nothing of me; verily, verily I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give you.

24 Until even now, ye have asked nothing in my name: Be asking, and ye shall receive, —that, your joy, may be made full.

Till this time you have asked for nothing in my name; ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full.

25 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.

These things I have spoken to you in parables; the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in parables, but will teach you plainly concerning the Father.

26 In that day, In my name, shall ye ask: —and I say not that, I, will request the Father for you;

In that day you shall ask in my name; and I say not to you, that I will ask the Father in your behalf;

27 For, the Father himself, dearly loveth you, because, ye, have dearly loved me, and believed that, I, from the Father, came forth: —

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

28 I came forth out of the Father, and have come into the world, —Again, I leave the world, and go, unto 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—See! now, openly, art thou speaking, and, not a single similitude, art thou using:

His disciples said to him: Lo, now thou speakest plainly, and speakest no parable.

30 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.

Now we know that thou knowest all things, and hast no need that any one should ask thee. By this we believe that thou hast come forth from God.

31 Jesus answered them—As yet, ye believe:

Jesus answered them: Do you now believe?

32 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!

Behold, the hour is coming, and has now come, in which you shall be scattered, each one to his own home, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.

33 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.

These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you shall have affliction, but be of good courage; I have overcome the world.
