John 16

1
These things, have I spoken unto you, that ye may not be caused to stumble:

2
Excommunicants from the synagogue, will they make you; Nay! there cometh an hour, that, every one who killeth you, shall think to be rendering, divine service,
unto God!

3
And, these things, will they do, because they got to know, neither the Father nor me.

4
But, these things, have I told you,--That, whensoever their hour shall come, ye may remember, that, thereof, I told you. These things, however, I told you
not, from the beginning, because I was, with you;

5
But, now, I go my way unto him that sent me, and, not one from among you, questioneth me--Whither goest thou?

6
But, because, these things, I have told you, sorrow, hath filled your heart.

7
But, I, the truth, am telling you--It is profitable for you, that, I, depart; for, if I should not depart, The Advocate, would in nowise come unto you,
but, if I go, I will send him unto you.

8
And, having come, He, will reprove the world--Concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment:

9
Concerning sin, indeed, because they are not believing on me;

10
But, concerning righteousness, because, unto the Father, I go my way, and, no longer, do ye behold me;

11
And, concerning judgment, because, the ruler of this world, hath been judged.

12
Yet many things, have I, unto you, to be saying,--but ye cannot bear them, just now;

13
Howbeit, as soon as, he, hath come--The Spirit of truth, he will guide you into all truth; for he will not speak from himself, but, whatsoever he heareth,
he will speak, and, the coming things, will he announce unto you.

14
He, shall glorify me; for, of mine, shall he receive, and announce unto you.

15
All things, whatsoever the Father hath, are, my own; therefore, said I--Of mine, shall he receive, and announce unto you.

16
A little while, and, no longer, ye behold me; and, again a little while, and ye shall see me.

17
Some of his disciples, therefore, said one to another--What is this which he is saying to us:--A little while, and ye behold me not, and, again a little
while, and ye shall see me; and--Because I go my way unto the Father?

18
They were saying, therefore--What is this which he saith:--A little while? We know not what he is saying.

19
Jesus took note, that they were wishing to question him, and said unto them--Concerning this, are ye enquiring one with another,--because I said:--A little
while, and ye behold me not, and, again, a little while, and ye shall see me?

20
Verily, verily, I say unto you--Ye, shall weep and lament, but, the world, shall rejoice: Ye, shall be grieved, but, your grief, into joy, shall be turned.

21
A woman, as soon as she is about to bring forth, hath, grief, because her hour hath come; but, as soon as she hath given birth to the child, no longer,
remembereth she the anguish, by reason of the joy, that a human being into the world hath been born.

22
And, ye, therefore, now, indeed have grief; but, again, will I see you, and your heart shall rejoice,--and, your joy, no one, shall force from you.

23
And, in that day, shall ye request me, nothing:--Verily, verily, I say unto you--Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father, He will give you, in my name.

24
Until even now, ye have asked nothing in my name: Be asking, and ye shall receive,--that, your joy, may be made full.

25
These things, in similitudes, have I spoken unto you: There cometh an hour, when, no longer in similitudes, will I speak unto you, but, openly, concerning
the Father, will I tell you.

26
In that day, In my name, shall ye ask:--and I say not that, I, will request the Father for you;

27
For, the Father himself, dearly loveth you, because, ye, have dearly loved me, and believed that, I, from the Father, came forth:--

28
I came forth out of the Father, and have come into the world,--Again, I leave the world, and go, unto the Father.

29
His disciples say--See! now, openly, art thou speaking, and, not a single similitude, art thou using:

30
Now, we know, that thou knowest all things, and hast, no need, that one be questioning thee. Hereby, do we believe, that, from God, thou camest forth.

31
Jesus answered them--As yet, ye believe:

32
Lo! there cometh an hour, and hath come, that ye should be scattered, each, unto his own home; and, me, alone, should leave;--And yet I am not, alone, but,
the Father, is, with me!

33
These things, have I spoken unto you, that, in me, ye may have, peace: In the world, ye have, tribulation; but be taking courage,--I, have overcome the
world.
