John 16

1 I have spoken these things to you, that you may not be offended.

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

2 They will put you out of the synagogues: but the hour is coming, that every one killing you may think he is 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 did not know 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 spoken these things to you, that when the hour may come, you may remember them, that I did say them to you. But I said not these things to you 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 that sent me; and no one of you asks 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 has filled your heart.

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

7 But now I tell you the truth; it is profitable to you that I may go away. For if I go not away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I may 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, He will convict the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment.

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

9 Concerning sin indeed, because they do not believe on me; and concerning righteousness;

Of sin, because they believe not on me;

10 because I go to the Father, and you see me no more;

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

11 and concerning judgment, because the prince of this world has been condemned.

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

12 I have many things to say to you, but you are not able to 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, may come, He will guide you in all truth: for He will not speak from Himself; but so many things as He hears, He will speak: and will proclaim to you the things which 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 mine, and proclaim them unto you.

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

15 And all things whatsoever the Father has are mine: therefore I said, that He takes from mine, and will proclaim them 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 see me no more; again a little while, and ye shall see me.

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 His disciples were saying to one another, What is this which He speaks to us, A little while, and you see me no more; and again a little while, and ye shall see me? and that 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 Then they were speaking, What is this, Little while, of which He speaks? and we know not what He is talking about.

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

19 Jesus knew that they wished to ask Him, and said to them, You are seeking with one another concerning this, because I said, A little while, and you see me no more, 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 Truly, truly, I say unto you, that you will weep and mourn, and the world will rejoice; you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will 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 When a woman may bring forth she has sorrow, because her hour has come: but when the little child may be born, she remembers her suffering no more, for the joy that a man has been 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 Therefore you indeed also now have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one taketh your joy 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 will ask of me nothing. Truly, truly, I say unto you, Whatsoever you may ask the Father, He will give it to you in my name.

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 you have asked nothing in my name: ask, and you shall receive, in order 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 I have spoken these things unto you in parables; the hour comes, when I shall no longer speak to you in parables, but openly will I proclaim to you concerning 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 clay you shall ask in my name: and I do not say, 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 loves you, because you have loved me as a friend, and you 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 out 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; Behold, now you are talking openly, and speaking no parable.

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

30 Now we know that you know all things, and have no need that any one may ask you: in this we believe that you came out 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 responded to them, Do you now believe?

Jesus answered them, Do all of you now believe?

32 Behold, the hour cometh, and is already come, that you must be scattered abroad, each one to his own place, and leave me alone: 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 I have spoken these things to you, in order that you may have peace in me. In the world you have tribulation: but take courage; I have conquered 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.
