John 16

1 These things I have spoken to you, that ye be not caused to stumble.⋮

2 They shall make you without the synagogues, but the hour cometh, that each man that slayeth you, deem that he doeth service to God.⋮

3 And they shall do to you these things, for they have not known the Father, neither me.⋮

4 But these things I spake to you, that when the hour of them shall come, ye have mind, that I said to you. I said not to you these things from the beginning, for I was with you.⋮

5 And now I go to him that sent me, and no man of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?⋮

6 but for I have spoken to you these things, heaviness or sorrow hath full-filled your heart.⋮

7 But I say to you truth, it speedeth to you, that I go; for if I go not forth or go away, the Comforter shall not come to you; but if I go forth or go away, I shall send him to you.⋮

8 And when he cometh, he shall reprove the world of sin, and of rightwiseness, and of doom,⋮

9 Of sin, for they have not believed in me;⋮

10 and of rightwiseness, for I go to the Father, and now ye shall not see me;⋮

11 but of doom, for the prince of this world is now deemed.⋮

12 Yet I have many things to say to you, but ye may not bear them now.⋮

13 But when the Spirit of truth cometh, he shall teach you all truth; for he shall not speak of himself, but whatever things he shall hear, he shall speak; and he shall tell to you those things that be to come.⋮

14 He shall clarify me, for of mine he shall take, and shall tell to you.⋮

15 All things, whatever things the Father hath, be mine; therefore I said to you, that of mine he shall take, and shall tell to you.⋮

16 A little, and then ye shall not see me; and again a little, and ye shall see me, for I go to the Father.⋮

17 Therefore some of his disciples said together, What is this thing that he saith to us, A little, and ye shall not see me; and again a little, and ye shall see me, for I go to the Father?⋮

18 Therefore they said, What is this that he saith to us, A little? we know not what he speaketh.⋮

19 And Jesus knew, that they would ask him, and he said to them, Of this thing ye seek among you, for I said, A little, and ye shall not see me; and again a little, and ye shall see me.⋮

20 Truly, truly, I say to you, that ye shall mourn and weep, but the world shall have joy; and ye shall be sorrow-ful, but your sorrow shall turn into joy.⋮

21 A woman when she beareth child, hath heaviness or sorrow, for her time is come; but when she hath born a son, now she thinketh not on the pain, for joy, for a man is born into the world.⋮

22 And therefore ye have now sorrow, but again I shall see you, and your heart shall have joy, and no man shall take from you your joy.⋮

23 And in that day ye shall not ask me anything; truly, truly, I say to you, if ye ask the Father anything in my name, he shall give it to you.⋮

24 Till now ye asked nothing in my name; ask ye, and ye shall take, that your joy be full.⋮

25 I have spoken to you these things in proverbs; the hour cometh, when now I shall not speak to you in proverbs, but openly of my Father I shall tell to you.⋮

26 In that day ye shall ask in my name; and I say not to you, that I shall pray the Father for you;⋮

27 for the Father himself loveth you, for ye have loved me, and have believed, that I went out from God.⋮

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

29 His disciples said to him, Lo! now thou speakest openly, and thou sayest no proverb.⋮

30 Now we know, that thou know-est all things; and it is not need or no need to thee, that any man ask thee. In this thing we believe, that thou wentest out from God.⋮

31 Jesus answered to them, Now ye believe.⋮

32 Lo! the hour cometh, and now it cometh, that ye be dispersed, or scattered, each into his own things, and that ye leave me alone; and I am not alone, for the Father is with me.⋮

33 These things I have spoken to you, that ye have peace in me; in the world ye shall have dis-ease, or have pressing, or over-laying, but trust ye, I have overcome the world.⋮
