1 T hese things I have spoken unto you that ye may not be offended.

These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be caused to stumble.

2 T hey shall put you out of the synagogues; but the hour is coming that every one who kills you will think to render service to God;

They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the hour cometh, that whosoever killeth you shall think that he offereth service unto God.

3 a nd these things they will do because they have not known the Father nor me.

And these things will they do, because they have not known the Father, nor me.

4 B ut I have spoken these things to you, that when their hour shall have come, ye may remember them, that I have said unto you. But I did not say these things unto you from beginning, because I was with you.

But these things have I spoken unto you, that when their hour is come, ye may remember them, how that I told you. And these things I said not unto you from the beginning, because I was with you.

5 B ut now I go to him that has sent me, and none of you demands of me, Where goest thou?

But now I go unto him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?

6 B ut because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.

But because I have spoken these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.

7 B ut I say the truth to you, It is profitable for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go I will send him to you.

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 go, I will send him unto you.

8 A nd having come, he will bring demonstration to the world, of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

And he, when he is come, will convict the world in respect of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

9 o f sin, because they do not believe on me;

of sin, because they believe not on me;

10 o f righteousness, because I go away to Father, and ye behold me no longer;

of righteousness, because I go to the Father, and ye behold me no more;

11 o f judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

of judgment, because the prince of this world hath been judged.

12 I have yet many things to say to you, but ye cannot bear them now.

I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

13 B ut when he is come, the Spirit of truth, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but whatsoever he shall hear he shall speak; and he will announce to you what is coming.

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but what things soever he shall hear, these shall he speak: and he shall declare unto you the things that are to come.

14 H e shall glorify me, for he shall receive of mine and shall announce to you.

He shall glorify me: for he shall take of mine, and shall declare it unto you.

15 A ll things that the Father has are mine; on account of this I have said that he receives of mine and shall announce to you.

All things whatsoever the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he taketh of mine, and shall declare it unto you.

16 A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me,.

A little while, and ye behold me no more; and again a little while, and ye shall see me.

17 o f his disciples therefore said to one another, What is this he says to us, A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me, and, Because I go away to the Father?

Some of his disciples therefore said one to another, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye behold me not; and again a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?

18 T hey said therefore, What is this which he says the little while? We do not know what he speaks.

They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? We know not what he saith.

19 J esus knew therefore that they desired to demand of him, and said to them, Do ye inquire of this among yourselves that I said, A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me?

Jesus perceived that they were desirous to ask him, and he said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, A little while, and ye behold me not, and again a little while, and ye shall see me?

20 V erily, verily, I say to you, that ye shall weep and lament, ye, but the world shall rejoice; and ye will be grieved, but your grief shall be turned to joy.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, that ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

21 A woman, when she gives birth to a child, has grief because her hour has come; but when the child is born, she no longer remembers the trouble, on account of the joy that a man has been born into the world.

A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but when she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for the joy that a man is born into the world.

22 A nd ye now therefore have grief; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one takes from you.

And ye therefore now have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one taketh away from you.

23 A nd in that day ye shall demand nothing of me: verily, verily, I say to you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give you.

And in that day ye shall ask me no question. Verily, verily, I say unto you, if ye shall ask anything of the Father, he will give it you in my name.

24 H itherto ye have asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be made full.

25 T hese things I have spoken to you in allegories; the hour is coming that I will no longer speak to you in allegories, but will declare to you openly concerning the Father.

These things have I spoken unto you in dark sayings: the hour cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in dark sayings, but shall tell you plainly of the Father.

26 I n that day ye shall ask in my name; and I say not to you that I will demand of the Father for you,

In that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you;

27 f or the Father himself has affection for you, because ye have had affection for me, and have believed that I came out from God.

for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from the Father.

28 I came out from the Father and have come into the world; again, I leave the world and go to the Father.

I came out from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go unto the Father.

29 H is disciples say to him, Lo, now thou speakest openly and utterest no allegory.

His disciples say, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no dark saying.

30 N ow we know that thou knowest all things, and hast not need that any one should demand of thee. By this we believe that thou art come from God.

Now know we 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 J esus answered them, Do ye now believe?

Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?

32 B ehold, hour is coming, and has come, that ye shall be scattered, each to his own, and shall leave me alone; and I am not alone, for the Father is with me.

Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is 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 T hese things have I spoken to you that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye have tribulation; but be of good courage: I have overcome the world.

These things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye may have peace. In the world ye have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
