John 16

1 These thinges have I sayde vnto you because ye shuld not be offended.⋮

2 They shall excommunicat you: ye the tyme shall come that whosoever killeth you will thinke that he doth God service.⋮

3 And suche thinges will they do vnto you because they have not knowen the father nether yet me.⋮

4 But these thinges have I tolde you that when that houre is come ye myght remember them that I tolde you so. These thinges sayde I not unto you at the begynninge because I was present with you.⋮

5 But now I goo my waye to him that sent me and none of you axeth me: whither goest thou?⋮

6 But because I have sayde suche thinges vnto you youre hertes are full of sorowe.⋮

7 Neverthelesse I tell you the trueth it is expedient for you that I goo awaye. For yf I goo not awaye that comforter will not come vnto you. But yf I departe I will sende him vnto you.⋮

8 And when he is come he will rebuke the worlde of synne and of rightwesnes and of iudgement.⋮

9 Of synne because they beleve not on me:⋮

10 Of rightwesnes because I go to my father and ye shall se me no moare:⋮

11 and of iudgement because the chefe ruler of this worlde is iudged all ready.⋮

12 I have yet many thinges to saye vnto you: but ye cannot beare them awaye now.⋮

13 How be it when he is come (I meane the sprete of truthe) he will leade yon into all trueth. He shall not speake of him selfe: but whatsoever he shall heare that shall he speake and he will shewe you thinges to come.⋮

14 He shall glorify me for he shall receave of myne and shall shewe vnto you.⋮

15 All thinges that the father hath aremyne. Therfore sayd I vnto you that he shall take of myne and shewe vnto you.⋮

16 After a whyle ye shall not se me and agayne after a whyle ye shall se me: For I goo to the father.⋮

17 Then sayd some of his disciples bitwene them selves: what is this that he sayth vnto vs after a whyle ye shall not se me and agayne after a whyle ye shall se me: and that I go to the father.⋮

18 They sayd therfore: what is this that he sayth after a whyle? we cannot tell what he sayth.⋮

19 Iesus perceaved that they wolde axe him and sayd vnto them: This is it that ye enquyre of bitwene youre selves that I sayd after a whyle ye shall not se me and agayne after a whyle ye shall se me.⋮

20 Verely verely I saye vnto you: ye shall wepe and lamet and the worlde shall reioyce. Ye shall sorowe: but youre sorowe shalbe tourned to ioye.⋮

21 A woman when she traveyleth hath sorowe because her houre is come: but assone as she is delivered of the chylde she remembreth no moare the anguysshe for ioye that a man is borne in to the worlde.⋮

22 And ye now are in sorowe: but I will se you agayne and youre hertes shall reioyce and youre ioye shall no man take from you.⋮

23 And in that daye shall ye axe me no question. Verely verely I saye vnto you whatsoever ye shall axe the father in my name he will geve it you.⋮

24 Hitherto have ye axed nothinge in my name. Axe and ye shall receave it: that youre ioye maye be full.⋮

25 These thinges have I spoken vnto you in proverbes. The tyme will come when I shall no moare speake to you in proverbes: but I shall shewe you playnly from my father.⋮

26 At that daye shall ye axe in myne name. And I saye not vnto you that I will speake vnto my father for you.⋮

27 For the father him selfe loveth you because ye have loved me and have beleved that I came out from God.⋮

28 I went out from the father and came into the worlde: and I leve the worlde agayne and go to the father.⋮

29 His disciples sayd vnto him: loo now speakest thou playnly and thou vsest no proverbe.⋮

30 Nowe knowe we that thou vnderstondest all thinges and nedest not that eny man shuld axe the eny question. Therfore beleve we that thou camst from god.⋮

31 Iesus answered them: Now ye do beleve.⋮

32 Beholde the houre draweth nye and is already come that ye shalbe scatered every man his wayes and shall leave me alone. And yet am I not alone. For the father is with me.⋮

33 These wordes have I spoke vnto you that in me ye might have peace. For in the worlde shall ye have tribulacion: but be of good cheare I have over come the worlde.⋮
