John Chapter 16 016:001 "These things have I spoken to you, so that you wouldn't be caused to stumble. 016:002 They will put you out of the synagogues. Yes, the time comes that whoever kills you will think that he offers service to God. 016:003 They will do these things{TR adds "to you"} because they have not known the Father, nor me. 016:004 But I have told you these things, so that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you about them.
I didn't tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you. 016:005 But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?' 016:006 But because I have told you these things, sorrow has filled your heart. 016:007 Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I don't go away, the Counselor won't come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.
016:008 When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment; 016:009 about sin, because they don't believe in me; 016:010 about righteousness, because I am going to my Father, and you won't see me any more; 016:011 about judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged. 016:012 "I have yet many things to tell you, but you can't bear them now.
016:013 However when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming. 016:014 He will glorify me, for he will take from what is mine, and will declare it to you. 016:015 All things whatever the Father has are mine; therefore I said that he takes{TR reads "will take" instead of "takes"} of mine, and will declare it to you. 016:016 A little while, and you will not see me.
Again a little while, and you will see me." 016:017 Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, "What is this that he says to us, 'A little while, and you won't see me, and again a little while, and you will see me;' and, 'Because I go to the Father?'" 016:018 They said therefore, "What is this that he says, 'A little while?' We don't know what he is saying." 016:019 Therefore Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, "Do you inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, 'A little while, and you won't see me, and again a little while, and you will see me?' 016:020 Most certainly I tell you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice.
You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy. 016:021 A woman, when she gives birth, has sorrow, because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she doesn't remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is born into the world. 016:022 Therefore you now have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you. 016:023 "In that day you will ask me no questions.
Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. 016:024 Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full. 016:025 I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.
016:026 In that day you will ask in my name; and I don't say to you, that I will pray to the Father for you, 016:027 for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from God. 016:028 I came out from the Father, and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world, and go to the Father." 016:029 His disciples said to him, "Behold, now you speak plainly, and speak no figures of speech.
016:030 Now we know that you know all things, and don't need for anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came forth from God." 016:031 Jesus answered them, "Do you now believe? 016:032 Behold, the time is coming, yes, and has now come, that you will be scattered, everyone to his own place, and you will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. 016:033 I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have oppression; but cheer up!
I have overcome the world."
