1 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
-
2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
-
3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
-
4 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye 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 my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?
-
6 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
-
7 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 reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
-
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
-
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
-
11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
-
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
-
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is 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 shew you things to come.
-
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
-
15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
-
16 A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.
-
17 Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?
-
18 They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.
-
19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?
-
20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
-
21 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
-
22 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.
-
23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
-
24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
-
25 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.
-
26 At that day ye 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 ye 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 go to the Father.
-
29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.
-
30 Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.
-
31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?
-
32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye 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 unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

- 1 “These things I have spoken to you so that you may be kept from stumbling.
- 2 “They will make you outcasts from the synagogue, but an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering service to God.
- 3 “These things they will do because they have not known the Father or Me.
- 4 “But these things I have spoken to you, so that when their hour comes, you may remember that I told you of them. These things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you.
- 5 “But now I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, 'Where are You going?'
- 6 “But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.
- 7 “But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.
- 8 “And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment;
- 9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me;
- 10 and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me;
- 11 and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
- 12 “I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
- 13 “But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.
- 14 “He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you.
- 15 “All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you.
- 16 “A little while, and you will no longer see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me.”
- 17 Some of His disciples then said to one another, “What is this thing He is telling us, 'A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me'; and, 'because I go to the Father'?”
- 18 So they were saying, “What is this that He says, 'A little while'? We do not know what He is talking about.”
- 19 Jesus knew that they wished to question Him, and He said to them, “Are you deliberating together about this, that I said, 'A little while, and you will not see Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me'?
- 20 “Truly, truly, I say to you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will grieve, but your grief will be turned into joy.
- 21 “Whenever a woman is in labor she has pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a child has been born into the world.
- 22 “Therefore you too have grief now; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.
- 23 “In that day you will not question Me about anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you.
- 24 “Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.
- 25 “These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; an hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but will tell you plainly of the Father.
- 26 “In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I will request of the Father on your behalf;
- 27 for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came forth from the Father.
- 28 “I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; I am leaving the world again and going to the Father.”
- 29 His disciples *said, “Lo, now You are speaking plainly and are not using a figure of speech.
- 30 “Now we know that You know all things, and have no need for anyone to question You; by this we believe that You came from God.”
- 31 Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe?
- 32 “Behold, an hour is coming, and has already come, for you to be scattered, each to his own home, and to leave Me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.
- 33 “These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”
