John 16

1 I have spoken these things to you, so that ye may not be caused to stumble.

These things have I spoken unto you, that all of you should not be offended.

2 They will make you excommunicated from the synagogues. But the hour comes that every man who kills you will presume to be offering service to God.

They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time comes, that whosoever kills you will think that he does God service.

3 And they will do these things, because they have not known the Father nor me.

And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.

4 But I have told you these things, so that when the hour comes, ye may remember that I told you of them. But I did not tell you these things from the beginning because I was with you.

But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, all of you may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.

5 But now I go to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, Where do thou go?

But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asks me, Where go you?

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

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

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth, it is expedient for you that I depart, for if I do not depart, the helper will not come to you. But whenever I go, I will send him to you.

Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

8 And having come, that will convict the world about sin, and about justice, and about judgment.

And when he has come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

9 About sin because they truly did not believe in me,

Of sin, because they believe not on me;

10 and about justice because I go to the Father, and ye see me no more,

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

11 and about judgment because the ruler of this world has been judged.

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

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

I have yet many things to say unto you, but all of you cannot bear them now.

13 However when that, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. For he will not speak from himself, but as many things as he may hear, he will speak. And he will report to you the things that are coming.

Nevertheless when he, the Spirit (pneuma) of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.

14 He will glorify me because he will receive from me, and will report to you.

He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you.

15 All things, as many as the Father has are mine. Because of this I said that he takes from me, and will report to you.

All things that the Father has are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show it unto you.

16 A little while, and ye do not see me. Again a little while, and ye will look at me, because I go to the Father.

A little while, and all of you shall not see me: and again, a little while, and all of you shall see me, because I go to the Father.

17 Therefore some of his disciples said among themselves, What is this that he says to us, A little while, and ye do not see me, and, Again a little while, and ye will look at me, and, Because I go to the Father?

Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he says unto us, A little while, and all of you shall not see me: and again, a little while, and all of you shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?

18 They said therefore What is this that he says, A little while? We know not what he says.

They said therefore, What is this that he says, A little while? we cannot tell what he says.

19 Therefore Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, Do ye inquire among yourselves about this, because I said, A little while, and ye do not see me, and, Again a little while, and ye will look at me?

Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do all of you enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and all of you shall not see me: and again, a little while, and all of you shall see me?

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

Verily, verily, I say unto you, That all of you shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and all of you shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

21 When a woman brings forth she has pain because her hour has come. But when she has given birth to the child she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a man was born into the world.

A woman when she is in travail has sorrow, because her hour has come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembers no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.

22 And now therefore indeed ye have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no man takes your joy away from you.

And all of you now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man takes from you.

23 And in that day ye will ask me nothing. Truly, truly, I say to you, that as many things as ye may ask the Father in my name, he will give you.

And in that day all of you shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever all of you shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.

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

Until now have all of you asked nothing in my name: ask, and all of you shall receive, that your joy may be full.

25 These things I have spoken to you in veiled words. The hour comes, when I will no more speak to you in veiled words, but will inform you plainly about the Father.

These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time comes, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall show you plainly of the Father.

26 In that day ye will ask in my name, and I do not say to you, that I will pray the Father about you,

At that day all of you shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:

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

For the Father himself loves you, because all of you have loved me, and have believed that I came out 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 am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.

29 His disciples say to him, Lo, now thou speak plainly, and speak not one veiled word.

His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speak you plainly, and speak no proverb.

30 Now we know that thou know all things, and have no need that any man should question thee. By this we believe that thou came forth from God.

Now are we sure that you know all things, and need not that any man should ask you: by this we believe that you came forth from God.

31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?

Jesus answered them, Do all of you now believe?

32 Behold, the hour comes, and now has come, that ye will be scattered, each man to his own things, and ye will leave me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

Behold, the hour comes, yea, is now come, that all of you shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

33 These things I have spoken to you, so that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye have tribulation. But cheer up, I have overcome the world.

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me all of you might have peace. In the world all of you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
