John 16

Anderson^{(i) 1} These things have I spoken to you, that you may not be ensnared. ² They will put you out of the synagogues; in deed, the time is coming, when he that kills you, will think that he is offering service to God. ³ And these things they will do, because they know neither the Father nor me. ⁴ But these things I have told you, that, when the time has come, you may remember that I told you of them. But these things I did not tell you at the beginning, because I was with you. ⁵ And now I go to him that sent me, and no one of you asks me, "Whither goest thou? ⁶ But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. ⁷ But yet I tell you the truth: it is profitable for you that I go away. For if I go not away, the Paraclete will not come to you. But if I go away, I will send him to you. ⁸ And when he has come, he will convince 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 you see me no more; ¹¹ of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. ¹² I have yet many things to say to you; but you can not bear them now. ¹³ But when he, the Spirit of the truth, has come, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak of himself; but what he hears, that will he speak, and he will show you things to come. ¹⁴ He will glorify me; for he will take of mine, and show it to you. ¹⁵ All things that the Father has are mine; for this reason I said, that he will take of mine, and show it to you. ¹⁶ A little while, and you will not see me; and again, a little while, and you will see me, be cause I go to the Father. ¹⁷ Then some of his disciples said one to another: "What is this that he says to us, A little while, and - you will not see me; and again, a little while, and you will see me? and, Be cause I go to the Father? ¹⁸ Therefore they said: "What is this that he says, The little while? We know not what he says. ¹⁹ Then Jesus knew that they wished to ask him; and he said to them: Are you inquiring of one another about this, because I said, A little while and you will not see me; and again, a little while, and you will see me? ²⁰ Verily, verily I say to you, you shall weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. ²¹ A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow, be cause her hour has come; but when the child is born, she no longer remembers the pain, for joy that a man is born into the world. ²² You, therefore, have sorrow now; but I shall see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one takes from you. ²³ And in that day you shall ask nothing of me; verily, verily I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give you. ²⁴ Till this time you have asked for nothing in my name; ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full. ²⁵ These things I have spoken to you in parables; the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in parables, but will teach you plainly concerning the Father. ²⁶ In that day you shall ask in my name; and I say not to you, that I will ask the Father in your behalf; ²⁷ for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from God. ²⁸ I came forth from the Father, and have come into the world: again I leave the world, and go to the Father. ²⁹ His disciples said to him: Lo, now thou speakest plainly, and speakest no parable. ³⁰ Now we know that thou knowest all things, and hast no need that any one should ask thee. By this we believe that thou hast come forth from God. ³¹ Jesus answered them: Do you now believe? ³² Behold, the hour is coming, and has now come, in which you shall be scattered, each one to his own home, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me. ³³ These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you shall have affliction, but be of good courage; I have overcome the world.
