John 11:1-16:33 Now there was a certain infirm man, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister Martha."

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now there was a certain infirm man, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister Martha." ² Now it was Mary who rubs the Lord with attar and wipes off His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was infirm." ³ The sisters, then, dispatch to Him, saying, "Lord, lo, he of whom Thou art fond is infirm!" ⁴ Yet Jesus, hearing it, said, "This infirmity is not to death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God should be glorified through it." ⁵ Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. ⁶ As, then, He hears that he is infirm, then, indeed, He remains in the place in which He was, two days." ⁷ Thereupon, after this, He is saying to His disciples, "We may be going into Judea again." ⁸ The disciples are saying to Him, "Rabbi, the Jews now sought to stone Thee, and art Thou going there again? ⁹ Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone should be walking in the day, he is not stumbling, for he is observing the light of this world." ¹⁰ Yet if anyone should be walking in the night, he is stumbling, for the light is not in him." ¹¹ He said these things, and after this He is saying to them, "Lazarus, our friend, has found repose, but I am going that I should be awakening him out of sleep." ¹² The disciples, then, said to Him, "Lord, if he has repose, he shall be saved." ¹³ Now Jesus had made a declaration concerning his death, yet they suppose that He is saying it concerning the repose of sleep." ¹⁴ Jesus, then, said to them with boldness then, "Lazarus died." ¹⁵ And I am rejoicing because of you, that you should be believing, seeing that I was not there. But we may be going to him." ¹⁶ Thomas, then, who is termed "Didymus,said to his fellow disciples, "We also may be going, that we may be dying with Him." ¹⁷ Jesus, then, on coming into Bethany, found he has been in the tomb four days already." ¹⁸ Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia off." ¹⁹ Now many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary that they should be comforting them concerning their brother. ²⁰ Martha, then, as she hears that Jesus is coming, meets Him. Yet Mary was seated in the house." ²¹ Martha, then, said to Jesus, "Lord, if Thou wert here, my brother would not have died." ²² But even now I am aware that whatsoever Thou shouldst be requesting of God, God will be giving to Thee." ²³ Jesus is saying to her, "Your brother will be rising." ²⁴ Martha is saying to Him, "I am aware that he will be rising in the resurrection in the last day." ²⁵ Jesus said to her, "I am the Resurrection and the Life. He who is believing in Me, even if he should be dying, shall be living." ²⁶ And everyone who is living and believing in Me, should by no means be dying for the eon. Are you believing this? ²⁷ She is saying to Him, "Yes, Lord, I have believed that Thou art the Christ, the Son of God, Who is coming into the world." ²⁸ And saying this she came away and summons Miriam, her sister, covertly, saying, "The Teacher is present, and is summoning you." ²⁹ Now as she hears, she was roused swiftly and came to Him." ³⁰ Now Jesus had not as yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha meets Him." ³¹ The Jews, then, who are with her in the house and comforting her, perceiving Mary, that she rose quickly and came out, follow her, supposing that she is going to the tomb, that she should be lamenting there." ³² Mary, then, as she came where Jesus was, perceiving Him, falls at His feet, saying to Him, "Lord, if Thou wert here, my brother would not have died!" ³³ Jesus, then, as He perceived her lamenting and the Jews coming with her lamenting, mutters in spirit, and disturbs Himself." ³⁴ And He said, "Where have you placed him?They are saying to Him, "Lord, come and see." ³⁵ Jesus weeps. ³⁶ The Jews, then, said, "Lo! how fond He was of him!" ³⁷ Yet some of them said, "Could not this One Who opens the eyes of the blind man, also make it that this man should not be dying? ³⁸ Jesus, then, again muttering in Himself, is coming to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone was laid on it." ³⁹ Jesus is saying, "Take away the stone.Martha, the sister of the deceased, is saying to Him, "Lord, he is already smelling, for it is the fourth day." ⁴⁰ Jesus is saying to her, "Did I not say to you that, if ever you should be believing, you should be seeing the glory of God? ⁴¹ They, then, take away the stone. Yet Jesus lifts up His eyes and said, "Father, I thank Thee that Thou hearest Me." ⁴² Now I was aware that Thou art hearing Me always, but because of the throng standing about I said it, that they should be believing that thou dost commission Me." ⁴³ And, saying these things, He clamors with a loud voice, "Lazarus! Hither! Out!" ⁴⁴ And out came he who had died, bound feet and hands with winding sheets, and his countenance had been bound about with a handkerchief. Jesus is saying to them, "Loose him and let him go!" ⁴⁵ Many of the Jews, then, who come to Mary and gaze at what Jesus does, believe in Him." ⁴⁶ Yet some of them came away to the Pharisees, and told them how much Jesus does." ⁴⁷ The chief priests and the Pharisees, then, gathered a Sanhedrin and said, "What are we doing, seeing that this man is doing many signs? ⁴⁸ If we should be leaving him thus, all will be believing in him, and the Romans will come and take away our place as well as our nation." ⁴⁹ Now a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being the chief priest of that year, said to them, "You are not aware of anything, ⁵⁰ neither are you reckoning that it is expedient for us that one man should be dying for the sake of the people and not the whole nation should perish." ⁵¹ Now this he said, not from himself, but, being the chief priest of that year, he prophesies that Jesus was about to be dying for the sake of the nation, ⁵² and not for the nation only, but that He may be gathering the scattered children of God also into one." ⁵³ From that day, then, they consult that they should kill Him." ⁵⁴ Jesus, then, no longer walked with boldness among the Jews, but came away thence into the country near the wilderness, into a city termed Ephraim, and there He remains with His disciples." ⁵⁵ Now near was the Passover of the Jews, and many went up into Jerusalem out of the country, before the Passover, that they should be purifying themselves." ⁵⁶ They, then, sought Jesus, and said, standing with one another in the sanctuary, "What do you suppose? That He may under no circumstances come to the festival? ⁵⁷ Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given directions that if anyone should know where He is, he should be divulging it, so that they should be arresting Him." ¹² ¹ Jesus, then, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had died, whom Jesus rouses from among the dead." ² They make, then, for Him a dinner there, and Martha served. Now Lazarus was one of those lying back at table with Him." ³ Mary, then, taking a pound troy of veritable nard attar, very precious, rubs the feet of Jesus and wipes off His feet with her hair. Now the house was filled with the odor of the attar." ⁴ Now Judas of Simon Iscariot, one of His disciples (who is about to give Him up) is saying, ⁵ Wherefore was not this attar disposed of for three hundred denarii and given to the poor? ⁶ Now this he said, not that he cared concerning the poor, but that he was a thief, having the coffer also, and bore what is cast into it." ⁷ Jesus, then, said, "Let her be, that she should be keeping it for the day of My burial." ⁸ For the poor you have always with you, yet Me you have not always." ⁹ The vast throng, then, of the Jews, knew that He is there. And they came, not because of Jesus only, but that they might become acquainted with Lazarus also, whom Jesus rouses from among the dead." ¹⁰ Yet the chief priests also plan that they should be killing Lazarus also, ¹¹ for many of the Jews went because of him, and believed in Jesus." ¹² On the morrow the vast throng, who are coming for the festival, hearing that Jesus is coming into Jerusalem, ¹³ got fronds of palms and came out to meet Him. And they clamored, saying, "Hosanna! Blessed is He Who is coming in the name of the Lord!and "The King of Israel!" ¹⁴ Now Jesus, finding a little ass, is seated on it, according as it is written, ¹⁵ Do not fear, daughter of Zion! Lo! your King is coming, sitting on an ass's colt." ¹⁶ Now these things are not known to His disciples at first, but when Jesus is glorified, then they are reminded that these things were written of Him and these things they do to Him." ¹⁷ The throng, then, which is with Him when He summons Lazarus out of the tomb, and rouses him from among the dead, was testifying." ¹⁸ Therefore, also, the vast throng meets Him, for they hear that He has done this sign." ¹⁹ The Pharisees, then, say to themselves, "You are beholding that you are benefiting nothing. Lo! the world came away after him!" ²⁰ Now there were some Greeks from among those going up that they should be worshiping in the festival. ²¹ These, then, came to Philip who is from Bethsaida of Galilee, and they asked him, saying, "Lord, we want to become acquainted with Jesus." ²² Philip is coming and telling Andrew, and again Andrew and Philip are coming and telling Jesus." ²³ Yet Jesus is answering them, saying, "Come has the hour that the Son of Mankind should be glorified." ²⁴ Verily, verily, I am saying to you, If a kernel of grain, falling into the earth, should not be dying, it is remaining alone, yet if it should be dying, it is bringing forth much fruit." ²⁵ He who is fond of his soul is destroying it, and he who is hating his soul in this world, shall be guarding it for life eonian." ²⁶ If anyone should be serving Me, let him be following Me, and where I am, there My servant also shall be. And if anyone should be serving Me, the Father shall be honoring him." ²⁷ Now is My soul disturbed. And what may I be saying? 'Father, save Me out of this hour'? ²⁸ But therefore came I into this hour. Father, glorify Thy name!A voice, then, came out of heaven, "I glorify it also, and shall be glorifying it again!" ²⁹ The throng, then, which stands and hears it, said, "A thunderclap has come!Others said, "A messenger has spoken to Him!" ³⁰ Jesus answered and said, "Not because of Me has come this voice, but because of you." ³¹ Now is the judging of this world. Now shall the Chief of this world be cast out. ³² And I, if I should be exalted out of the earth, shall be drawing all to Myself." ³³ Now this He said, signifying by what death He was about to be dying." ³⁴ The throng, then, answered Him, "We hear out of the law that the Christ is remaining for the eon, and how are you saying that the Son of Mankind must be exalted? Who is this Son of Mankind? ³⁵ Jesus, then, said to them, "Still a little time the light is among you. Be walking while you have the light, lest the darkness may be overtaking you. And he who is walking in the darkness is not aware whither he is going." ³⁶ As you have the light, be believing in the light, that you may be becoming sons of light.These things Jesus speaks, and, coming away, He was hid from them." ³⁷ Yet, after His having done so many signs in front of them, they believed not in Him, " ³⁸ that the word of Isaiah the prophet, which he said, may be being fulfilled, "Lord, who believes our tidings? And the arm of the Lord, to whom was it revealed? ³⁹ Therefore they could not believe, seeing that Isaiah said again" ⁴⁰ that He has blinded their eyes and callouses their heart, lest they may be perceiving with their eyes, and should be apprehending with their heart, and may be turning about, and I shall be healing them." ⁴¹ These things Isaiah said, seeing that he perceived His glory, and speaks concerning Him." ⁴² Howbeit, likewise, of the chiefs also many believe in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not avow it, lest they may be put out of the synagogue, ⁴³ for they love the glory of men rather than even the glory of God. ⁴⁴ Now Jesus cries and said, "He who is believing in Me is not believing in Me, but in Him Who sends Me." ⁴⁵ And he who is beholding Me is beholding Him Who sends Me. ⁴⁶ I have come into the world a Light, that everyone who is believing in Me should not be remaining in darkness." ⁴⁷ And if ever anyone should be hearing My declarations and not be maintaining them, I am not judging him, for I came not that I should be judging the world, but that I should be saving the world." ⁴⁸ He who is repudiating Me and not getting My declarations, has that which is judging him; the word which I speak, that will be judging him in the last day, ⁴⁹ seeing that I speak not from Myself, but the Father Who sends Me, He has given Me the precept, what I may be saying and what I should be speaking." ⁵⁰ And I am aware that His precept is life eonian. What, then, I am speaking, according as the Father has declared it to Me, thus am I speaking." ¹³ ¹ Now before the festival of the Passover, Jesus, being aware that His hour came that He may be proceeding out of this world to the Father, loving His own who are in the world, He loves them to the consummation." ² And at the coming of dinner, the Adversary already having cast into the heart of Judas, son of Simon Iscariot, that he may be giving Him up, ³ Jesus, being aware that the Father has given all into His hands, and that He came out from God and is going away to God, ⁴ is rising from dinner and is laying down His garments, and, getting a cloth, He girds Himself." ⁵ Thereafter He is draining water into the basin, and begins washing the feet of the disciples and wiping them off with the cloth with which He was girded." ⁶ He is coming, then, to Simon Peter. And he is saying to Him, "Lord, Thou art washing my feet!" ⁷ Jesus answered and said to him, "What I am doing you are not aware at present, yet you will know after these things." ⁸ Peter is saying to Him, "Under no circumstances shouldst Thou be washing my feet for the eon!Jesus answered him, "If ever I should not be washing you, you are having no part with Me." ⁹ Simon Peter is saying to Him, "Lord, not my feet only, but the hands also and the head!" ¹⁰ Jesus is saying to him, "He who is bathed has no need, except to wash his feet, but is wholly clean. And you are clean, but not all." ¹¹ For He was aware who is giving Him up. Therefore He said that "Not all of you are clean." ¹² When, then, He washes their feet, and took His garments and leans back again, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you? ¹³ You are shouting to Me 'Teacher!' and 'Lord!' and you are saying ideally, for I am." ¹⁴ If, then, I, the Lord and the Teacher, wash your feet, you also ought to be washing one another's feet." ¹⁵ For an example have I given you, that, according as I do to you, you also may be doing." ¹⁶ Verily, verily, I am saying to you, A slave is not greater than his lord, neither is an apostle greater than He Who sends him." ¹⁷ If you are aware of these things, happy are you if you should be doing them!" ¹⁸ Not concerning all of you am I speaking, for I am aware whom I choose, but that the scripture may be fulfilled, 'He who is masticating bread with Me lifts up his heel against Me.'" ¹⁹ Henceforth I am speaking to you before it is occurring, that you should be believing, whenever it may be occurring, that I am." ²⁰ Verily, verily, I am saying to you, whoever is taking anyone I shall be sending, is taking Me; yet he who is taking Me is taking Him Who sends Me." ²¹ These things saying, Jesus was disturbed in spirit, and testifies and said, "Verily, verily, I am saying to you that one of you will be giving Me up." ²² The disciples, then, looked at one another, being perplexed concerning whom He is speaking." ²³ Now one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved, was lying back in the bosom of Jesus." ²⁴ Simon Peter, then, is nodding to this one to ascertain whoever he may be, concerning whom He said it, and is saying to him, "Tell us whoever it is concerning whom He is saying this." ²⁵ That one, then, leaning back thus on the chest of Jesus, is saying to Him, "Lord, who is it? ²⁶ Jesus, then, is answering and saying, "He it is to whom I, dipping in the morsel, shall be handing it.Dipping in the morsel, then, He is taking it and giving it to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot." ²⁷ And after the morsel, then, Satan entered into that man. Jesus, then, is saying to him, "What you are doing, do more quickly." ²⁸ Now no one of those lying back at table knew to what purpose He said this to him. ²⁹ For some supposed, since Judas had the coffer, that Jesus is saying to him, "Buy what we have need of for the festival,or, that he may be giving something to the poor." ³⁰ Getting the morsel, then, that man came out straightway. Now it was night." ³¹ When, then, he came out, Jesus is saying, "Now is the Son of Mankind glorified, and God is glorified in Him." ³² If God is glorified in Him, God also shall be glorifying Him in Himself and shall straightway be glorifying Him." ³³ Little children, still a little time am I with you. You shall be seeking Me, and, according as I said to the Jews that 'Where I am going you can not be coming,' at present I am saying it to you also." ³⁴ A new precept am I giving to you, that you be loving one another; according as I love you, that you also be loving one another." ³⁵ By this all shall be knowing that you are My disciples, if you should be having love for one another." ³⁶ Simon Peter is saying to Him, "Lord, whither art Thou going?Jesus answered him, "Where I am going, you can not follow Me now, yet you shall be following subsequently." ³⁷ Peter is saying to Him, "Lord, wherefore can not I follow Thee at present? My soul for Thy sake will I lay down." ³⁸ Jesus is answering, "Your soul for My sake you will be laying down? Verily, verily, I am saying to you, Under no circumstances should a cock be crowing till you will be renouncing Me thrice." ¹⁴ ¹ Let not your heart be disturbed. Believe in God, and believe in Me." ² In My Father's house are many abodes; yet if not I would have told you, for I am going to make ready a place for you." ³ And if I should be going and making ready a place for you, I am coming again and I will be taking you along to Myself, that where I am, you also may be." ⁴ And where I am going you are aware, and of the way you are aware." ⁵ Thomas is saying to Him, "Lord, we are not aware whither Thou art going, and how can we be aware of the way? ⁶ Jesus is saying to him, "I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one is coming to the Father except through Me." ⁷ If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also. And henceforth you know Him and have seen Him." ⁸ Philip is saying to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficing us." ⁹ Jesus is saying to him, "So much time I am with you, and you do not know Me, Philip! He who has seen Me has seen the Father, and how are you saying, 'Show us the Father'? ¹⁰ Are you not believing that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The declarations which I am speaking to you I am not speaking from Myself. Now the Father, remaining in Me, He is doing His works." ¹¹ Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me; yet if not, believe Me because of the works themselves." ¹² Verily, verily, I am saying to you, he who is believing in Me, the works which I am doing he also will be doing, and greater than these will he be doing, for I am going to the Father." ¹³ And whatever you should be requesting in My name, this I will be doing, that the Father should be glorified in the Son." ¹⁴ If you should ever be requesting anything of Me in My name, this I will be doing." ¹⁵ If you should be loving Me, you will be keeping My precepts." ¹⁶ And I shall be asking the Father, and He will be giving you another consoler, that it, indeed, may be with you for the eon -" ¹⁷ 17 the spirit of truth, which the world can not get, for it is not beholding it, neither is knowing it. Yet you know it, for it is remaining with you and will be in you." ¹⁸ I will not leave you bereaved; I am coming to you." ¹⁹ Still a little and the world is beholding Me no longer, yet you are beholding Me. Seeing that I am living, you also will be living." ²⁰ In that day you shall know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you." ²¹ He who has My precepts and is keeping them, he it is who is loving Me. Now he who is loving Me will be loved by My Father, and I shall be loving him and shall be disclosing Myself to him." ²² Judas (not Iscariot) is saying to Him, "Lord, and what has occurred that Thou art about to be disclosing Thyself to us and not to the world? ²³ Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone should be loving Me, he will be keeping My word, and My Father will be loving him, and We shall be coming to him and making an abode with him." ²⁴ He who is not loving Me, is not keeping My words. And the word which you are hearing is not Mine, but the Father's Who sends Me." ²⁵ These things have I spoken to you, remaining with you." ²⁶ Now the consoler, the holy spirit, which the Father will be sending in My name, that will be teaching you all, and reminding you of all that I said to you." ²⁷ Peace I am leaving with you. My peace I am giving to you. Not according as the world is giving to you, am I giving to you. Let not your heart be disturbed, neither let it be timid." ²⁸ You hear that I said to you, 'I am going, and I am coming to you.' If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I." ²⁹ And now I have declared it to you ere it is occurring, that, whenever it may be occurring, you should be believing." ³⁰ No longer shall I be speaking much with you, for the Chief of the world is coming, and in Me it has not anything." ³¹ But that the world may know that I am loving the Father, and according as the Father directs Me, thus I am doing, rouse! We may be going hence!" ¹⁵ ¹ I am the true Grapevine, and My Father is the Farmer." ² Every branch in Me bringing forth no fruit, He is taking it away, and every one bringing forth fruit, He is cleansing it, that it may be bringing forth more fruit." ³ Already you are clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. ⁴ Remain in Me. I also am in you. According as the branch can not be bringing forth fruit from itself, if it should not be remaining in the grapevine, thus neither you, if you should not be remaining in Me." ⁵ I am the Grapevine. You are the branches. He who is remaining in Me, and I in him, this one is bringing forth much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing." ⁶ If anyone should not be remaining in Me, he was cast out as a branch, and it withered. And they are gathering them, and into the fire are they casting them, and they are being burned." ⁷ If ever you should be remaining in Me and My declarations should be remaining in you, whatever you should be wanting, request, and it will be occurring to you." ⁸ In this is My Father glorified, that you may be bringing forth much fruit, and you shall become My disciples." ⁹ According as the Father loves Me, I, also, love you. Remain in My love." ¹⁰ If ever you should be keeping My precepts, you will be remaining in My love, according as I have kept the precepts of My Father and am remaining in His love." ¹¹ These things have I spoken to you, that My joy should be remaining in you, and your joy may be filled." ¹² This is My precept, that you be loving one another, according as I love you." ¹³ Greater love than this has no one, that anyone may be laying down his soul for his friends." ¹⁴ You are My friends, if you should be doing whatever I am directing you." ¹⁵ No longer am I terming you slaves, for the slave is not aware what his lord is doing. Yet I have declared you friends, for all that I hear from My Father I make known to you." ¹⁶ Not you choose Me, but I choose you, and I appoint you, that you may be going away and be bringing forth much fruit, and your fruit may be remaining, that anything whichsoever you should be requesting the Father in My name, He will be giving it to you." ¹⁷ In these things I am directing you, that you may be loving one another." ¹⁸ If the world is hating you, know that it has hated Me first before you." ¹⁹ If you were of the world, the world would be fond of its own. Now, seeing that you are not of the world, but I choose you out of the world, therefore the world is hating you." ²⁰ Remember the word which I said to you, 'A slave is not greater than his lord.' If Me they persecute, you they will be persecuting also. If My word they keep, yours also will they be keeping." ²¹ But all these things will they be doing to you because of My name, seeing that they are not acquainted with Him Who sends Me." ²² If I came not and speak to them, they had no sin. Yet now they have no pretense concerning their sin." ²³ He who is hating Me is hating My Father also. ²⁴ If I do not the works among them which no other one does, they had no sin. Yet now they have seen also, and they have hated Me as well as My Father, ²⁵ but it is that the word written in their law may be fulfilled, that they hate Me gratuitously." ²⁶ Now, whenever the consoler which I shall be sending you from the Father may be coming, the spirit of truth which is going out from the Father, that will be testifying concerning Me." ²⁷ Now you also are testifying, seeing that, from the beginning, you are with Me." ¹⁶ ¹ These things have I spoken to you that you may not be snared, ² for they will be putting you out of the synagogues; but coming is the hour that everyone who is killing you should suppose he is offering divine service to God. ³ And these things will they be doing to you, for they know not the Father nor even Me." ⁴ But these things have I spoken to you that, whenever their hour may be coming, you may be remembering them, seeing that I told you. Now these things I did not tell you from the beginning, seeing that I was with you." ⁵ Yet now I am going away to Him Who sends Me, and not one of you is asking Me, 'Whither art Thou going?'" ⁶ But, seeing that I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart." ⁷ But I am telling you the truth. It is expedient for you that I may be coming away, for if I should not be coming away, the consoler will not be coming to you." ⁸ Now if I should be gone, I will send him to you. And, coming, that will be exposing the world concerning sin and concerning righteousness and concerning judging:" ⁹ concerning sin, indeed, seeing that they are not believing in Me;" ¹⁰ yet concerning righteousness, seeing that I am going away to My Father, and no longer are you beholding Me;" ¹¹ yet concerning judging, seeing that the Chief of this world has been judged." ¹² Still much have I to say to you, but you are not able to bear it at present." ¹³ Yet whenever that may be coming - the spirit of truth -it will be guiding you into all the truth, for it will not be speaking from itself, but whatsoever it should be hearing will it be speaking, and of what is coming will it be informing you." ¹⁴ That will be glorifying Me, seeing that of Mine will it be getting, and informing you." ¹⁵ All, whatever the Father has, is Mine. Therefore I said to you that of Mine is it getting, and will be informing you." ¹⁶ A little, and no longer are you beholding Me; and again, a little, and you shall be seeing Me." ¹⁷ Some, then, of His disciples said to one another, "What is this that He is saying to us, 'A little, and you are not beholding Me, and again, a little, and you shall be seeing Me?' and that 'I am going away to the Father'? ¹⁸ They said, then, "What is this 'little' which He is saying? Not aware are we of what He is speaking." ¹⁹ Jesus, then, knew that they wanted to ask Him, and He said to them, "Concerning this are you seeking with one another that I said, 'A little, and you are not beholding Me, and again, a little, and you shall be seeing Me'? ²⁰ Verily, verily, I am saying to you that you shall be lamenting and wailing, yet the world will be rejoicing; yet you shall be sorrowed, but your sorrow shall become joy." ²¹ A woman, whenever she may be bringing forth, is having sorrow, seeing that her hour came; yet whenever she should be bearing the little child, no longer is she remembering the affliction, because of the joy that a human being was born into the world." ²² You then, also, now, indeed, will be having sorrow, yet I shall be seeing you again, and your heart shall be rejoicing, and your joy no one is taking away from you." ²³ And in that day you will not be asking Me anything. "Verily, verily, I am saying to you that whatever you should be requesting the Father, He will be giving it to you in My name." ²⁴ Hitherto you do not request anything in My name. Request and you shall obtain, that your joy may be full." ²⁵ These things have I spoken to you in proverbs. Coming is the hour when no longer shall I be speaking to you in proverbs, but with boldness shall I be reporting to you concerning the Father." ²⁶ In that day you will be requesting in My name, and I am not saying to you that I shall be asking the Father concerning you, ²⁷ for the Father Himself is fond of you, seeing that you are fond of Me, and have believed that I came out from God." ²⁸ I came out from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I am leaving the world and am going to the Father." ²⁹ His disciples are saying to Him, "Lo! now with boldness art Thou speaking, and not one proverb art Thou telling." ³⁰ Now we are aware that Thou art aware of all and hast no need that anyone may be asking Thee. By this we are believing that Thou camest out from God." ³¹ Jesus answered them, "At present you are believing." ³² Lo! the hour is coming and has come, that you should be scattered, each to his own, and you may be leaving Me alone. And I am not alone, for the Father is with Me." ³³ These things have I spoken to you that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have affliction. But courage! I have conquered the world."
