John 16

1These thingsG3778 have I spokenG2980 unto you, that ye should not be caused to stumbleG4624. 2They shall putG615 you out of the synagogues: yea, the hourG5610 cometh, that whosoever killeth you shall thinkG1380 that he offereth serviceG2999 unto GodG2316. 3And these thingsG3778 will they do, because they have not knownG1097 the FatherG3962, nor me. 4But these thingsG3778 have I spokenG2980 unto you, that whenG3752 their hourG5610 isG1510 comeG2064, ye may rememberG3421 them, how that I toldG3004 you. And these thingsG3778 I saidG3004 not unto you from the beginning, because I wasG1510 with you. 5But nowG1161 I goG5217 unto him that sentG3992 me; and noneG3762 of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? 6But because I have spokenG2980 these thingsG3778 unto you, sorrowG3077 hath filledG4137 your heartG2588. 7Nevertheless I tellG3004 you the truthG225: It is expedient for you that I goG4198 awayG565; for if I goG4198 not awayG565, the Comforter will not comeG2064 unto you; but if I goG4198, I will sendG3992 him unto you. 8And he, when he is comeG2064, will convictG1651 the worldG2889 in respect of sinG266, and of righteousnessG1343, and of judgmentG2920: 9of sinG266, because they believeG4100 not on me; 10of righteousnessG1343, because I goG5217 to the FatherG3962, and ye behold me no more; 11of judgmentG2920, because the princeG758 of this worldG2889 hath been judgedG2919. 12I have yetG235 manyG4183 thingsG4183 to sayG3004 unto you, but ye cannot bearG941 them nowG737. 13Howbeit whenG3752 he, the SpiritG4151 of truthG225, is comeG2064, he shall guide you into all the truthG225: for he shall not speakG2980 from himself; but what thingsG3956 soever he shall hearG191, these shall he speakG2980: and he shall declareG312 unto you the thingsG3956 that are to comeG2064. 14He shall glorifyG1392 me: for he shall takeG2983 of mine, and shall declareG312 it unto you. 15All thingsG3778 whatsoever the FatherG3962 hath areG1510 mine: therefore saidG3004 I, that he taketh of mine, and shall declareG312 it unto you. 16A littleG3398 while, and ye behold me no more; and againG3825 a littleG3398 while, and ye shall seeG3708 me. 17Some of his disciplesG3101 thereforeG3767 saidG3004 oneG240 to another, What isG1510 this that he saith unto us, A littleG3398 while, and ye behold me not; and againG3825 a littleG3398 while, and ye shall seeG3708 me: and, Because I goG5217 to the FatherG3962? 18They saidG3004 thereforeG3767, What isG1510 this that he saith, A littleG3398 while? We know not what he saith. 19JesusG2424 perceived that they were desirous to askG2065 him, and he saidG3004 unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves concerningG4012 this, that I saidG3004, A littleG3398 while, and ye behold me not, and againG3825 a littleG3398 while, and ye shall seeG3708 me? 20Verily, verily, I sayG3004 unto you, that ye shall weepG2799 and lament, but the worldG2889 shall rejoiceG5463: ye shall be sorrowfulG3076, but your sorrowG3077 shall be turned into joyG5479. 21A womanG1135 whenG3752 she is in travail hath sorrowG3077, because her hourG5610 is comeG2064: but whenG3752 she is delivered of the childG3813, she remembereth no more the anguish, for the joyG5479 that a manG444 is bornG1080 into the worldG2889. 22And ye thereforeG3767 nowG1161 have sorrowG3077: but I will seeG3708 you againG3825, and your heartG2588 shall rejoiceG5463, and your joyG5479 no oneG3762 taketh awayG142 from you. 23And in that dayG2250 ye shall askG154 me no question. Verily, verily, I sayG3004 unto you, If ye shall askG154 anythingG5100 of the FatherG3962, he will giveG1325 it you in my nameG3686. 24Hitherto have ye askedG154 nothing in my nameG3686: askG154, and ye shall receiveG2983, that your joyG5479 may beG1510 made fullG4137.

25These thingsG3778 have I spokenG2980 unto you in dark sayings: the hourG5610 cometh, whenG3753 I shall no more speakG2980 unto you in dark sayings, but shall tellG518 you plainlyG3954 of the FatherG3962. 26In that dayG2250 ye shall askG154 in my nameG3686: and I sayG3004 not unto you, that I will pray the FatherG3962 for you; 27for the FatherG3962 himself loveth you, because ye have lovedG5368 me, and have believedG4100 that I cameG1831 forthG1831 from the FatherG3962. 28I cameG2064 out from the FatherG3962, and am comeG2064 into the worldG2889: againG3825, I leaveG863 the worldG2889, and goG4198 unto the FatherG3962. 29His disciplesG3101 sayG3004, Lo, nowG3568 speakest thou plainlyG3954, and speakest no dark sayingG3004. 30NowG3568 know we that thou knowest all thingsG3778, and needest not that any manG3778 should askG2065 thee: by this we believeG4100 that thou camest forthG1831 from GodG2316. 31JesusG2424 answeredG611 them, Do ye nowG737 believeG4100? 32BeholdG2400, the hourG5610 cometh, yea, isG1510 comeG2064, that ye shall beG1510 scatteredG4650, every manG1538 to his ownG2398, and shall leaveG863 me aloneG3441: and yet I amG1510 not aloneG3441, because the FatherG3962 isG1510 with me. 33These thingsG3778 have I spokenG2980 unto you, that in me ye may have peaceG1515. In the worldG2889 ye have tribulationG2347: but be of good cheer; I have overcomeG3528 the worldG2889.
