1 “ I have told you these things so you will not be ashamed of Me and leave Me.

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

2 T hey will put you out of the places of worship. The time will come when anyone who kills you will think he is helping God.

They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

3 T hey will do these things to you because they do not know the Father or Me.

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

4 “ When these things happen, you will remember I told you they would happen. That is why I am telling you about these things now. I did not tell you these things before, because I was with you.

But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.

5 B ut now I am going to Him Who sent Me. Yet none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’ The Three Kinds of Work of the Holy Spirit

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

6 “ Your hearts are full of sorrow because I am telling you these things.

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

7 I tell you the truth. It is better for you that I go away. If I do not go, the Helper will not come to you. 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 depart, I will send him unto you.

8 W hen the Helper comes, He will show the world the truth about sin. He will show the world about being right with God. And He will show the world what it is to be guilty.

And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

9 H e will show the world about sin, because they do not put their trust in Me.

of sin, because they believe not on me;

10 H e will show the world about being right with God, because I go to My Father and you will see Me no more.

of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

11 H e will show the world what it is to be guilty because the leader of this world (Satan) is guilty. The Holy Spirit Will Give Honor to the Son

of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

12 “ I still have many things to say to you. You are not strong enough to understand them now.

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

13 T he Holy Spirit is coming. He will lead you into all truth. He will not speak His Own words. He will speak what He hears. He will tell you of things to come.

Howbeit 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 shew you things to come.

14 H e will honor Me. He will receive what is Mine and will tell it to you.

He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

15 E verything the Father has is Mine. That is why I said to you, ‘He will receive what is Mine and will tell it to you.’ Jesus Tells of His Death

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

16 “ In a little while you will not see Me. Then in a little while you will see Me again.”

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 S ome of His followers said to each other, “What is He trying to tell us when He says, ‘In a little while you will not see Me, and in a little while you will see Me again,’ and ‘Because I go to My Father’ ?”

Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith 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 S o they said, “What is He trying to tell us by saying, ‘A little while’ ? We do not know what He is talking about.”

They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.

19 J esus knew they wanted to ask Him something. He said to them, “Are you asking each other why I said, ‘In a little while you will not see Me, and in a little while you will see Me again’?

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

20 F or sure, I tell you, you will cry and have sorrow, but the world will have joy. You will have sorrow, but your sorrow will turn into joy.

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

21 W hen a woman gives birth to a child, she has sorrow because her time has come. After the child is born, she forgets her pain. She is full of joy because a child has been born into the world.

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

22 Y ou are sad now. I will see you again and then your hearts will be full of joy. No one can take your joy from you. Asking and Receiving

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

23 “ When the time comes that you see Me again, you will ask Me no question. For sure, I tell you, My Father will give you whatever you ask in My name.

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

24 U ntil now you have not asked for anything in My name. Ask and you will receive. Then your joy will be full.

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

25 “ I have told you these things in picture-stories. The time is coming when I will not use picture-stories. I will talk about My Father in plain words.

These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.

26 I n that day you will ask in My name. I will not ask the Father for you

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

27 b ecause the Father loves you. He loves you because you love Me and believe that I came from the Father. Jesus Tells of His Going

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

28 “ I came from the Father and have come into the world. I am leaving the world and going to the Father.”

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 followers said to Him, “Now You are talking in plain words. You are not using picture-stories.

His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.

30 N ow we are sure You know everything. You do not need anyone to tell You anything. Because of this we believe that You came from God.”

Now are we sure 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 said to them, “Do you believe now?

Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?

32 T he time is coming, yes, it is already here when you will be going your own way. Everyone will go to his own house and leave Me alone. Yet I am not alone because the Father is with Me.

Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now 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 I have told you these things so you may have peace in Me. In the world you will have much trouble. But take hope! I have power over the world!”

These 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.
