John 16

1 These thingis Y haue spokun to you, that ye be not sclaundrid.

These thinges haue I saide vnto you, that ye should not be offended.

2 Thei schulen make you with outen the synagogis, but the our cometh, that ech man that sleeth you, deme that he doith seruyce to God.

They shall excommunicate you: yea, the time shall come, that whosoeuer killeth you, will thinke that he doeth God seruice.

3 And thei schulen do to you these thingis, for thei han not knowun the fadir, nether me.

And these things will they doe vnto you, because they haue not knowen ye Father, nor me.

4 But these thingis Y spak to you, that whanne the our `of hem schal come, ye haue mynde, that Y seide to you.

But these things haue I tolde you, that when the houre shall come, ye might remember, that I tolde you them. And these things said I not vnto you from ye beginning, because I was with you.

5 Y seide not to you these thingis fro the bigynnyng, for Y was with you. And now Y go to hym that sente me, and no man of you axith me, Whidur `thou goist?

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

6 but for Y haue spokun to you these thingis, heuynesse hath fulfillid youre herte.

But because I haue saide these thinges vnto you, your hearts are full of sorowe.

7 But Y seie to you treuthe, it spedith to you, that Y go; for if Y go not forth, the coumfortour schal not come to you; but if Y go forth, Y schal sende hym to you.

Yet I tell you the trueth, It is expedient for you that I goe away: for if I goe not away, that Comforter will not come vnto you: but if I depart, I will send him vnto you.

8 And whanne he cometh, he schal repreue the world of synne, and of riytwisnesse, and of doom.

And when he is come, he will reproue the worlde of sinne, and of righteousnesse, and of iudgement.

9 Of synne, for thei han not bileued in me;

Of sinne, because they beleeued not in me:

10 and of riytwisnesse, for Y go to the fadir, and now ye schulen not se me;

Of righteousnesse, because I goe to my Father, and ye shall see me no more:

11 but of doom, for the prince of this world is now demed.

Of iudgement, because the prince of this world is iudged.

12 Yit Y haue many thingis for to seie to you, but ye moun not bere hem now.

I haue yet many things to say vnto you, but ye cannot beare them nowe.

13 But whanne thilke spirit of treuthe cometh, he schal teche you al trewthe; for he schal not speke of hym silf, but what euer thinges he schal here, he schal speke; and he schal telle to you tho thingis that ben to come.

Howbeit, when he is come which is the Spirit of trueth, he will leade you into all trueth: for he shall not speake of himselfe, but whatsoeuer he shall heare, shall he speake, and he will shew you the things to come.

14 He schal clarifie me, for of myne he schal take, and schal telle to you.

He shall glorifie me: for he shall receiue of mine, and shall shewe it vnto you.

15 Alle thingis `whiche euer the fadir hath, ben myne; therfor Y seide to you, for of myne he schal take, and schal telle to you.

All thinges that the Father hath, are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shewe it vnto you.

16 A litil, and thanne ye schulen not se me; and eftsoone a litil, and ye schulen se me, for Y go to the fadir.

A litle while, and ye shall not see me: and againe a litle while, and ye shall see me: for I goe to the Father.

17 Therfor summe of hise disciplis seiden togidere, What is this thing that he seith to vs, A litil, and ye schulen not se me; and eftsoone a litil, and ye schulen se me, for Y go to the fadir?

Then said some of his disciples among them selues, What is this that he saieth vnto vs, A litle while, and ye shall not see me, and againe, a litle while, and ye shall see me, and, For I goe to the Father.

18 Therfor thei seiden, What is this that he seith to vs, A litil? we witen not what he spekith.

They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A litle while? we know not what he sayeth.

19 And Jhesus knew, that thei wolden axe hym, and he seide to hem, Of this thing ye seken among you, for Y seide, A litil, and ye schulen not se me; and eftsoone a litil, and ye schulen se me.

Now Iesus knew that they would aske him, and said vnto them, Doe ye enquire among your selues, of that I said, A litle while, and ye shall not see me: and againe, a litle while, and yee shall see me?

20 Treuli, treuli, Y seie to you, that ye schulen mourne and wepe, but the world schal haue ioye; and ye schulen be soreuful, but youre sorewe schal turne in to ioye.

Verely, verely I say vnto you, that ye shall weepe and lament, and the worlde shall reioyce: and ye shall sorowe, but your sorowe shalbe turned to ioye.

21 A womman whanne sche berith child, hath heuynesse, for hir tyme is comun; but whanne sche hath borun a sone, now sche thenkith not on the peyne, for ioye, for a man is borun in to the world.

A woman when she traueileth, hath sorowe, because her houre is come: but assoone as she is deliuered of the childe, she remembreth no more the anguish, for ioy that a man is borne into the world.

22 And therfor ye han now sorew, but eftsoone Y schal se you, and youre herte schal haue ioie, and no man schal take fro you youre ioie.

And ye nowe therefore are in sorowe: but I will see you againe, and your hearts shall reioyce, and your ioy shall no man take from you.

23 And in that day ye schulen not axe me ony thing; treuli, treuli, `Y seie to you, if ye axen the fadir ony thing in my name, he schal yyue to you.

And in that day shall ye aske me nothing. Verely, verely I say vnto you, whatsoeuer ye shall aske the Father in my Name, he will giue it you.

24 `Til now ye axiden no thing in my name; `axe ye, `and ye schulen take, that youre ioie be ful.

Hitherto haue ye asked nothing in my Name: aske, and ye shall receiue, that your ioye may be full.

25 Y haue spokun to you these thingis in prouerbis; the our cometh, whanne now Y schal not speke to you in prouerbis, but opynli of my fadir Y schal telle to you.

These things haue I spoken vnto you in parables: but the time will come, when I shall no more speake to you in parables: but I shall shew you plainely of the Father.

26 In that dai ye schulen axe in my name; and Y seie not to you, that Y schal preye the fadir of you;

At that day shall ye aske in my Name, and I say not vnto you, that I will pray vnto the Father for you:

27 for the fadir hym silf loueth you, for ye han loued me, and han bileued, that Y wente out fro God.

For the Father himselfe loueth you, because ye haue loued me, and haue beleeued that I came out from God.

28 Y wente out fro the fadir, and Y cam in to the world; eftsoone Y leeue the world, and Y go to the fadir.

I am come out from the Father, and came into the worlde: againe I leaue the worlde, and goe to the Father.

29 Hise disciplis seiden to hym, Lo! now thou spekist opynli, and thou seist no prouerbe.

His disciples saide vnto him, Loe, nowe speakest thou plainely, and thou speakest no parable.

30 Now we witen, that thou wost alle thingis; and it is not nede to thee, that ony man axe thee. In this thing we bileuen, that thou wentist out fro God.

Nowe knowe wee that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should aske thee. By this we beleeue, that thou art come out from God.

31 Jhesus answeride to hem, Now ye bileuen.

Iesus answered them, Doe you beleeue nowe?

32 Lo! the our cometh, and now it cometh, that ye be disparplid, ech in to hise owne thingis, and that ye leeue me aloone; and Y am not aloone, for the fadir is with me.

Beholde, the houre commeth, and is already come, that ye shalbe scattered euery man into his owne, and shall leaue me alone: but I am not alone: for the Father is with me.

33 These thingis Y haue spokun to you, that ye haue pees in me; in the world ye schulen haue disese, but trust ye, Y haue ouercomun the world.

These thinges haue I spoken vnto you, that in me ye might haue peace: in the world ye shall haue affliction, but be of good comfort: I haue ouercome the world.
