1 ¶ These things I have spoken unto you that ye should not be offended.

2 T hey shall put you out of the synagogues, and the hour will even come when whosoever kills you will think that he does God service.

3 A nd they will do these things unto you because they do not know the Father, nor me.

4 B ut I have told you these things that when that hour shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And I did not say these things unto you at the beginning because I was with you.

5 B ut now I go unto him that sent me, and none of you asks me, Where goest thou?

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

7 ¶ Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

8 A nd when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin and of righteousness and of judgment:

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

10 o f righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

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

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

13 H owbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth, for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak, and he will cause you to know the things which are to come.

14 H e shall clarify me, for he shall take of that which is mine and shall cause you to know it.

15 A ll that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he shall take of that which is mine and shall cause you to know it.

16 ¶ A little while, and ye shall not see me; and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.

17 T hen some of his disciples said among themselves, What is this that he says unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me; 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 that he says, A little while? we cannot understand what he says.

19 N ow Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of what I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me; and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?

20 V erily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, and the world shall rejoice; but even though ye shall be sorrowful, your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

21 T he woman, when she is in travail, has pain, because her hour is come; but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembers the anguish no more, for joy that a man is born into the world.

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

23 ¶ And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give you.

24 U ntil now ye have asked nothing in my name; ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be fulfilled.

25 I have spoken these things unto you in proverbs, but the hour comes when I shall no longer speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall show you plainly of the Father.

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

27 f or the Father himself loves you because ye have loved me and have believed that I came out from God.

28 ¶ I came forth from the Father and am come into the world; again, I leave the world and go to the Father.

29 H is disciples said unto him, Behold, now thou speakest plainly and speakest no proverb.

30 N ow we understand that thou knowest all things and needest not that anyone should ask thee; by this we believe that thou didst come forth from God.

31 J esus answered them, Do ye now believe?

32 B ehold, the hour comes and is now come, that ye shall be scattered, each one to his own, and shall leave me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

33 T hese things I have spoken unto you that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
