John 16
1 Christ comforteth his disciples against tribulation by the promise of the Holy Ghost, and by his resurrection and ascension: 23 assureth their prayers made in his name to be acceptable to his Father. 33 Peace in Christ, and in the world affliction.
16:1 ¶
These things, have I spoken unto you, that ye may not be caused to stumble:
16:2
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!
16:3
And, these things, will they do, because they got to know, neither the Father nor me.
16:4
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;
16:5
But, now, I go my way unto him that sent me, and, not one from among you, questioneth me—Whither goest thou?
16:6
But, because, these things, I have told you, sorrow, hath filled your heart.
16:7 ¶
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.
16:8
And, having come, He, will reprove the world—Concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment:
16:9
Concerning sin, indeed, because they are not believing on me;
16:10
But, concerning righteousness, because, unto the Father, I go my way, and, no longer, do ye behold me;
16:11
And, concerning judgment, because, the ruler of this world, hath been judged.
16:12
Yet many things, have I, unto you, to be saying,—but ye cannot bear them, just now;
16:13
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.
16:14
He, shall glorify me; for, of mine, shall he receive, and announce unto you.
16:15
All things, whatsoever the Father hath, are, my own; therefore, said I—Of mine, shall he receive, and announce unto you.
16:16 ¶
A little while, and, no longer, ye behold me; and, again a little while, and ye shall see me.
16:17
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?
16:18
They were saying, therefore—What is this which he saith:—A little while? We know not [what he is saying].
16:19
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?
16:20
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.
16:21
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.
16:22
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.
16:23 ¶
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.
16:24
Until even now, ye have asked nothing in my name: Be asking, and ye shall receive,—that, your joy, may be made full.
16:25
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.
16:26
In that day, In my name, shall ye ask:—and I say not that, I, will request the Father for you;
16:27
For, the Father himself, dearly loveth you, because, ye, have dearly loved me, and believed that, I, from the Father, came forth:—
16:28 ¶
I came forth out of the Father, and have come into the world,—Again, I leave the world, and go, unto the Father.
16:29
His disciples say—See! now, openly, art thou speaking, and, not a single similitude, art thou using:
16:30
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.
16:31
Jesus answered them—As yet, ye believe:
16:32
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!
16:33
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.
