John 16

1 These have I spoken with you, that you may not be offended.

“I have said these things to you so that you wouldn’t be caused to stumble.

2 They shall cast you out from their synagogues; and the hour cometh when every one who shall kill you will think that a sacrifice he offereth unto Aloha.

They will put you out of the synagogues. Yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers service to God.

3 And these will they do, because they have not known either my Father or me.

They will do these things because they have not known the Father nor me.

4 THESE have I spoken with you, that when their time hath come you may remember that I told you. But these at first I did not tell you, because with you I was.

But I have told you these things so that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you about them. I didn’t tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.

5 But now I go unto Him who sent me; and no man 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 For I have told you these, and sorrow hath come and filled your hearts.

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

7 But I the truth say to you, That it is needful for you that I go; for if I go not, the Paraclete cometh not 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 don’t go away, the Counselor won’t come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.

8 And when he hath come, he will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.

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

9 Of sin, because they believe not in me;

about sin, because they don’t believe in me;

10 but of righteousness, because unto my Father I go, and you see me not again;

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

11 but of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

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

12 I have yet much to tell you, but you cannot now apprehend;

“I still have many things to tell you, but you can’t bear them now.

13 but when the Spirit of Truth hath come, he will lead you into all the truth; for he will not speak of himself; but all that he shall hear he will speak, and the things to come will he make known to you.

However, when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.

14 He will glorify me, because of mine he will take and will show you.

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

15 All whatever that the Father hath is mine: on this account I have said to you, That of mine he will take, and will show you.

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

16 A LITTLE (time), and you will not see me; and again a little, and you shall see me, because I go to the Father.

“A little while, and you will not see me. Again a little while, and you will see me.”

17 And the disciples said one to another, What is this that he saith to us? A little (time), and you will not see me; and again a little (while), and you shall see me, and because I go to my 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 And they said, What is this little (time of) which he hath spoken?

They said therefore, “What is this that he says, ‘A little while’? We don’t know what he is saying.”

19 We know not what he saith. But Jeshu knew that they sought to ask him; and he said to them, Concerning this do you inquire together that I told you, A little (time), and you will not see me; and again a little, and you shall see me?

Therefore Yeshua perceived that they wanted to ask him, and 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 Amen, amen, I tell you, That you will weep and lament, and the world will rejoice; and to you shall be sorrow; but your sorrow shall become joy.

Most certainly 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 travaileth, hath sorrow, that the day hath come for her giving birth; but when she hath borne a son, she remembereth not her anguish, for joy that a child of man hath been born into the world.

A woman, when she gives birth, has sorrow because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she doesn’t remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is born into the world.

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

Therefore you now have sorrow, 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 you will ask me nothing. Amen, amen, I tell you, That whatsoever you shall ask my Father in my name, he will give you.

“In that day you will ask me no questions. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.

24 Hitherto you have not asked any thing in my name: ask, and receive, that your joy may be full.

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

25 These in parables I have spoken with you; but the hour cometh when I will not speak with you in parables, but manifestly; and I will announce to you concerning the Father.

“I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time 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 you shall ask in my name; and I say not to you that I will ask of the Father for you;

In that day you will ask in my name; and I don’t say to you that I will pray to the Father for you,

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

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

28 I came forth from the Father, and came into the world; and again I leave the world, and go unto the Father.

I came from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.”

29 His disciples say to him, Behold, now openly speakest thou, and not one parable hast thou spoken.

His disciples said to him, “Behold, now you are speaking plainly, and using no figures of speech.

30 Now know we that every thing thou knowest, and thou needest not that any man should ask thee. By this we believe that from Aloha thou hast come forth.

Now we know that you know all things, and don’t need for anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came from God.”

31 JESHU saith to them, Believe!

Yeshua answered them, “Do you now believe?

32 Behold, the hour shall come, and now cometh, that you will be dispersed (every) man to his place, and you will have left me alone. But I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

Behold, the time is coming, yes, and has now come, that you will be scattered, everyone to his own place, and you will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

33 These have I said to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you shall have distress; but be of heart, I have conquered the world.

I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble; but cheer up! I have overcome the world.”
