Gospel According to John
16: 1These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be caused to
stumble. 16:2They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the hour cometh, that
whosoever killeth you shall think that he offereth service unto God. 16:3And these
things will they do, because they have not known the Father, nor me. 16:4But these
things have I spoken unto you, that when their hour is come, ye may remember
them, how that I told you. And these things I said not unto you from the
beginning, because I was with you. 16:5But now I go unto him that sent me; and
none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? 16:6But because I have spoken these
things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart. 16:7Nevertheless 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 go, I will send him unto you. 16:8And he, when he is come,
will convict the world in respect of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
16:9of sin, because they believe not on me; 16:10of righteousness, because I go to the
Father, and ye behold me no more; 16:11of judgment, because the prince of this
world hath been judged. 16:12I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot
bear them now. 16:13Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he shall guide
you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but what things soever
he shall hear, these shall he speak: and he shall declare unto you the things that
are to come. 16:14He shall glorify me: for he shall take of mine, and shall declare it
unto you. 16:15All things whatsoever the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that
he taketh of mine, and shall declare it unto you. 16:16A little while, and ye behold
me no more; and again a little while, and ye shall see me. 16:17Some of his disciples
therefore said one to another, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye behold me
not; and again a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father? 16:18They said
therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? We know not what he saith.
16:19Jesus perceived that they were desirous to ask him, and he said unto them, Do
ye inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, A little while, and ye
behold me not, and again a little while, and ye shall see me? 16:20Verily, verily, I
say unto you, that ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: ye shall
be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. 16:21A woman when she is in
travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but when she is delivered of the
child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for the joy that a man is born into
the world. 16:22And ye therefore now have sorrow: but I will see you again, and
your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one taketh away from you. 16:23And in that
day ye shall ask me no question. Verily, verily, I say unto you, if ye shall ask
anything of the Father, he will give it you in my name. 16:24Hitherto have ye asked
nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be made full.
16:25These things have I spoken unto you in dark sayings: the hour cometh, when I
shall no more speak unto you in dark sayings, but shall tell you plainly of the
Father. 16:26In that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will
pray the Father for you; 16:27for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have
loved me, and have believed that I came forth from the Father. 16:28I came out from
the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go unto the
Father. 16:29His disciples say, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no dark
saying. 16:30Now know we that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any
man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God. 16:31Jesus
answered them, Do ye now believe? 16:32Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is 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. 16:33These things have I spoken unto
you, that in me ye may have peace. In the world ye have tribulation: but be of
good cheer; I have overcome the world.
