Mace(i)
1 I have told you these things that ye may not be discouraged.
2 they shall expel you out of the synagogues: yea, the time is coming, when it will be thought an agreeable sacrifice to God for any one to take away your lives.
3 and thus will they treat 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 what I now tell you. I did not tell you so much at the beginning, because, I was then to be with you.
5 but now I am going to him that sent me; yet none of you ask me now, whither are you going?
6 are your minds so overwhelm'd with sorrow at what I told you?
7 nevertheless, I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I do not go away, the advocate will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him to you.
8 and when he is come, he will convince the world of sin, of justice, of judgment:
9 of sin, because they believ'd not on me;
10 of justice, because I shall be with my father, and ye shall see me no more expos'd:
11 of judgment, because the prince of this world is condemn'd.
12 I have yet many things to tell you, but ye cannot bear them now;
13 but when he, the spirit of truth shall come, he will inform you of all those truths: for he will not speak from himself; but the information he shall receive will he communicate: and acquaint you with what is to come.
14 he shall glorify me: for he will commuincate to you, the information, which I shall give him.
15 all that the father has is mine: that is the reason of my saying, "he shall communicate to you the information that I shall give him."
16 Within a little while ye shall not see me: but within a little while ye shall see me again, because I am going to the father.
17 then said some of his disciples among themselves, what is the meaning of his saying, "within a little while ye shall not see me: but within a little while ye shall see me again, because I am going to the father?"
18 for, said they, we cannot comprehend the meaning of that expression, "within a little while?"
19 now Jesus perceiving that they had a mind to ask him, said to them, are you sollicitous about what I said, "within a little while ye shall not see me: but within a little while ye shall see me again?"
