< John 16 >

1 These things I have spoken unto you that ye may not be offended.
These thingis Y haue spokun to you, that ye be not sclaundrid.
2 They shall put you out of the synagogues; but the hour is coming that every one who kills you will think to render service to God;
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.
3 and these things they will do because they have not known the Father nor me.
And thei schulen do to you these thingis, for thei han not knowun the fadir, nether me.
4 But I have spoken these things to you, that when their hour shall have come, ye may remember them, that I have said [them] unto you. But I did not say these things unto you from [the] beginning, because I was with you.
But these thingis Y spak to you, that whanne the our `of hem schal come, ye haue mynde, that Y seide to you.
5 But now I go to him that has sent me, and none of you demands of me, Where goest thou?
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?
6 But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.
but for Y haue spokun to you these thingis, heuynesse hath fulfillid youre herte.
7 But I say the truth to you, It is profitable for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go I will send him to you.
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.
8 And having come, he will bring demonstration to the world, of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
And whanne he cometh, he schal repreue the world of synne, and of riytwisnesse, and of doom.
9 of sin, because they do not believe on me;
Of synne, for thei han not bileued in me;
10 of righteousness, because I go away to [my] Father, and ye behold me no longer;
and of riytwisnesse, for Y go to the fadir, and now ye schulen not se me;
11 of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
but of doom, for the prince of this world is now demed.
12 I have yet many things to say to you, but ye cannot bear them now.
Yit Y haue many thingis for to seie to you, but ye moun not bere hem now.
13 But when he is come, the Spirit of truth, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but whatsoever he shall hear he shall speak; and he will announce to you what is coming.
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.
14 He shall glorify me, for he shall receive of mine and shall announce [it] to you.
He schal clarifie me, for of myne he schal take, and schal telle to you.
15 All things that the Father has are mine; on account of this I have said that he receives of mine and shall announce [it] to you.
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.
16 A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me, [because I go away to the Father].
A litil, and thanne ye schulen not se me; and eftsoone a litil, and ye schulen se me, for Y go to the fadir.
17 [Some] of his disciples therefore said to one another, What is this he says to us, A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me, and, Because I go away to the Father?
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?
18 They said therefore, What is this which he says [of] the little while? We do not know [of] what he speaks.
Therfor thei seiden, What is this that he seith to vs, A litil? we witen not what he spekith.
19 Jesus knew therefore that they desired to demand of him, and said to them, Do ye inquire of this among yourselves that I said, A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me?
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.
20 Verily, verily, I say to you, that ye shall weep and lament, ye, but the world shall rejoice; and ye will be grieved, but your grief shall be turned to joy.
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.
21 A woman, when she gives birth to a child, has grief because her hour has come; but when the child is born, she no longer remembers the trouble, on account of the joy that a man has been born into the world.
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.
22 And ye now therefore have grief; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one takes from you.
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.
23 And in that day ye shall demand nothing of me: verily, verily, I say to you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give you.
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.
24 Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
`Til now ye axiden no thing in my name; `axe ye, `and ye schulen take, that youre ioie be ful.
25 These things I have spoken to you in allegories; the hour is coming that I will no longer speak to you in allegories, but will declare to you openly concerning the Father.
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.
26 In that day ye shall ask in my name; and I say not to you that I will demand of the Father for you,
In that dai ye schulen axe in my name; and Y seie not to you, that Y schal preye the fadir of you;
27 for the Father himself has affection for you, because ye have had affection for me, and have believed that I came out from God.
for the fadir hym silf loueth you, for ye han loued me, and han bileued, that Y wente out fro God.
28 I came out from the Father and have come into the world; again, I leave the world and go to the Father.
Y wente out fro the fadir, and Y cam in to the world; eftsoone Y leeue the world, and Y go to the fadir.
29 His disciples say to him, Lo, now thou speakest openly and utterest no allegory.
Hise disciplis seiden to hym, Lo! now thou spekist opynli, and thou seist no prouerbe.
30 Now we know that thou knowest all things, and hast not need that any one should demand of thee. By this we believe that thou art come from God.
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.
31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?
Jhesus answeride to hem, Now ye bileuen.
32 Behold, [the] hour is coming, and has come, that ye shall be scattered, each to his own, and shall leave me alone; and [yet] I am not alone, for the Father is with me.
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.
33 These things have I spoken to you that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye have tribulation; but be of good courage: I have overcome the world.
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.
