`These things I have spoken to you, that ye may not be stumbled,

2 T hey will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service.

out of the synagogues they will put you; but an hour doth come, that every one who hath killed you, may think to offer service unto God;

3 A nd these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me.

and these things they will do to you, because they did not know the Father, nor me.

4 B ut these things I have told you, that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you of them. And these things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you. The Work of the Holy Spirit

`But these things I have spoken to you, that when the hour may come, ye may remember them, that I said to you, and these things to you from the beginning I did not say, because I was with you;

5 “ But now I go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’

and now I go away to Him who sent me, and none of you doth ask me, Whither dost thou go?

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

but because these things I have said to you, the sorrow hath filled your heart.

7 N evertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.

`But I tell you the truth; it is better for you that I go away, for if I may not go away, the Comforter will not come unto you, and if I go on, I will send Him unto you;

8 A nd when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

and having come, He will convict the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment;

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

concerning sin indeed, because they do not believe in me;

10 o f righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more;

and concerning righteousness, because unto my Father I go away, and no more do ye behold me;

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

and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world hath been judged.

12 “ I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.

`I have yet many things to say to you, but ye are not able to bear now;

13 H owever, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

and when He may come -- the Spirit of truth -- He will guide you to all the truth, for He will not speak from Himself, but as many things as He will hear He will speak, and the coming things He will tell you;

14 H e will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.

He will glorify me, because of mine He will take, and will tell to you.

15 A ll things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you. Sorrow Will Turn to Joy

`All things, as many as the Father hath, are mine; because of this I said, That of mine He will take, and will tell to you;

16 “ A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me, because I go to the Father.”

a little while, and ye do not behold me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go away unto the Father.'

17 T hen some of His disciples said among themselves, “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, ‘because I go to the Father’ ?”

Therefore said of his disciples one to another, `What is this that he saith 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 unto the Father?'

18 T hey said therefore, “What is this that He says, ‘A little while’ ? We do not know what He is saying.”

they said then, `What is this he saith -- the little while? we have not known what he saith.'

19 N ow Jesus knew that they desired to ask Him, and He said to them, “Are you inquiring among yourselves about what I said, ‘A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me’?

Jesus, therefore, knew that they were wishing to ask him, and he said to them, `Concerning this do ye seek one with another, because I said, A little while, and you do not behold me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me?

20 M ost assuredly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

verily, verily, I say to you, that ye shall weep and lament, and the world will rejoice; and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow joy will become.

21 A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because her hour has come; but as soon as she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world.

`The woman, when she may bear, hath sorrow, because her hour did come, and when she may bear the child, no more doth she remember the anguish, because of the joy that a man was born to the world.

22 T herefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you.

`And ye, therefore, now, indeed, have sorrow; and again I will see you, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one doth take from you,

23 “ And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you.

and in that day ye will question me nothing; verily, verily, I say to you, as many things as ye may ask of the Father in my name, He will give you;

24 U ntil now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full. Jesus Christ Has Overcome the World

till now ye did ask nothing in my name; ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

25 “ These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell you plainly about the Father.

`These things in similitudes I have spoken to you, but there cometh an hour when no more in similitudes will I speak to you, but freely of the Father, will tell you.

26 I n that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you;

`In that day, in my name ye will make request, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father for you,

27 f or the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God.

for the Father himself doth love you, because me ye have loved, and ye have believed that I from God came forth;

28 I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.”

I came forth from the Father, and have come to the world; again I leave the world, and go on unto the Father.'

29 H is disciples said to Him, “See, now You are speaking plainly, and using no figure of speech!

His disciples say to him, `Lo, now freely thou dost speak, and no similitude speakest thou;

30 N ow we are sure that You know all things, and have no need that anyone should question You. By this we believe that You came forth from God.”

now we have known that thou hast known all things, and hast no need that any one do question thee; in this we believe that from God thou didst come forth.'

31 J esus answered them, “Do you now believe?

Jesus answered them, `Now do ye believe? lo, there doth come an hour,

32 I ndeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, each to his own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.

and now it hath come, that ye may be scattered, each to his own things, and me ye may leave alone, and I am not alone, because the Father is with me;

33 T hese things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

these things I have spoken to you, that in me ye may have peace, in the world ye shall have tribulation, but take courage -- I have overcome the world.'
