1: 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 inquire 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. |
