< John 16 >

1 These things have I spoken to you, that you may not be scandalized.
These things have I spoken unto you, that all of you should not be offended.
2 They will put you out of the synagogues: yea, the hour cometh, that whosoever killeth you, will think that he doth a 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 these things will they do to you; 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 these things I have told you, that when the hour shall come, you may remember that I told you of them.
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 I told you not these things from the beginning, because I was with you. And now I go to him that sent me, and none of you asketh me: Whither goest thou?
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 hath filled your heart.
But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow has filled your heart.
7 But I tell you the truth: it is expedient to you that I go: for if I go not, the Paraclete will not come to you; but if 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 when he is come, he will convince the world of sin, and of justice, and of judgment.
And when he has come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 Of sin: because they believed not in me.
Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10 And of justice: because I go to the Father; and you shall see me no longer.
Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and all of you see me no more;
11 And of judgment: because the prince of this world is already judged.
Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
12 I have yet many things to say to you: but you cannot bear them now.
I have yet many things to say unto you, but all of you cannot bear them now.
13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will teach you all truth. For he shall not speak of himself; but what things soever he shall hear, he shall speak; and the things that are to come, he shall shew you.
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 shall glorify me; because he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it to you.
He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you.
15 All things whatsoever the Father hath, are mine. Therefore I said, that he shall receive of mine, and shew it 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 now you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see 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 Then some of the disciples said one to another: What is this that he saith to us: A little while, and you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see 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 saith, A little while? we know not what he speaketh.
They said therefore, What is this that he says, A little while? we cannot tell what he says.
19 And Jesus knew that they had a mind to ask him; and he said to them: Of this do you inquire among yourselves, because I said: A little while, and you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see 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 Amen, amen I say to you, that you shall lament and weep, but the world shall rejoice; and you shall be made sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned 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 A woman, when she is in labour, hath sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she hath brought forth the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is 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 So also you now indeed have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice; and your joy no man shall take 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 you shall not ask me any thing. Amen, amen I say to you: if you ask the Father any thing in my name, he will give it 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 Hitherto you have not asked any thing in my name. Ask, and you shall receive; that your joy may be 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 proverbs. The hour cometh, when I will no more speak to you in proverbs, but will shew you plainly of 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 you shall ask in my name; and I say not to you, that I will ask the Father for 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 loveth you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came out 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 am come into the world: again I leave the world, and I 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: Behold, now thou speakest plainly, and speakest no proverb.
His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speak you plainly, and speak no proverb.
30 Now we know that thou knowest all things, and thou needest not that any man should ask thee. By this we believe that thou camest 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 you now believe?
Jesus answered them, Do all of you now believe?
32 Behold, the hour cometh, and it is now come, that 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.
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, that in me you may have peace. In the world you shall have distress: but have confidence, 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.
