THESE
things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
2 They
shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
3 And
these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor
me.
4 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 But now
I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh
me, Whither goest thou?
6 But
because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
7 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 And
when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of
judgment:
9 Of sin,
because they believe not on me;
10 Of
righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
11 Of
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 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 He
shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew
it unto you.
15 All
things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it
unto you.
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 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 They
said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot
tell what he saith.
19 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 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 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 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 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 Hitherto
have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may
be full.
25 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 At
that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the
Father for you:
27 For
the Father himself loveth 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 His
disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou
plainly, and speakest no proverb.
30 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 Jesus
answered them, Do ye now believe?
32 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 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.
