John 16:16-33

16“1A littleG3398 whileG3398, and 2you will noG3765 longerG3765 seeG3708 Me; and againG3825 a littleG3398 whileG3398, and 3you will seeG3708 Me.” 17Some of His disciplesG3101 thenG3767 saidG3004 to oneG240 anotherG240, “WhatG5101 is thisG3778 thingG3778 He is tellingG3004 us, ‘4A littleG3398 whileG3398, and you will not seeG3708 Me; and againG3825 a littleG3398 whileG3398, and you will seeG3708 Me’; and, ‘becauseG3754 5I goG5217 to the FatherG3962’?” 18SoG3767 they were sayingG3004, “WhatG5101 is thisG3778 that He saysG3004, ‘A littleG3398 whileG3398’? We do not knowG3609 whatG5101 He is talkingG2980 about.” 196JesusG2424 knewG1097 that they wishedG2309 to questionG2065 Him, and He saidG3004 to them, “Are you deliberatingG2212 togetherG3326G240 aboutG4012 thisG3778, that I saidG3004, ‘A littleG3398 whileG3398, and you will not seeG3708 Me, and againG3825 a littleG3398 whileG3398, and you will seeG3708 Me’? 20TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, that 7you will weepG2799 and lamentG2354, but the worldG2889 will rejoiceG5463; you will grieveG3076, but 8your griefG3077 will be turnedG1096 into joyG5479. 219WheneverG3752 a womanG1135 is in laborG5088 she hasG2192 10painG3077, becauseG3754 her hourG5610 has comeG2064; but whenG3752 she givesG1080 birthG1080 to the childG3813, she noG3765 longerG3765 remembersG3421 the anguishG2347 becauseG3754 of the joyG5479 that a 11childG444 has been bornG1080 into the worldG2889. 22ThereforeG3767 12you tooG2532 haveG2192 griefG3077 nowG3568; but 13I will seeG3708 you againG3825, and your heartG2588 will rejoiceG5463, and noG3762 oneG3762 will takeG142 your joyG5479 awayG142 from you. 2314In that dayG2250 15you will not questionG2065 Me about anythingG5100. TrulyG281, trulyG281, I sayG3004 to you, 16ifG302 you askG154 the FatherG3962 for anythingG5100 in My nameG3686, He will giveG1325 it to you. 2417UntilG2193 nowG737 you have askedG154 for nothingG3762 in My nameG3686; askG154 and you will receiveG2983, soG2443 that your 18joyG5479 may be madeG4137 fullG4137.

25“TheseG3778 thingsG3778 I have spokenG2980 to you in 1920figurativeG3942 languageG3942; 21an hourG5610 is comingG2064 whenG3753 I will noG3765 longerG3765 speakG2980 to you in 22figurativeG3942 languageG3942, but will tellG518 you plainlyG3954 of the FatherG3962. 2623In that dayG2250 24you will askG154 in My nameG3686, and I do not sayG3004 to you that I will requestG2065 of the FatherG3962 on your behalfG4012; 27for 25the FatherG3962 HimselfG846 lovesG5368 you, becauseG3754 you have lovedG5368 Me and 26have believedG4100 that 27I cameG1831 forthG1831 from the FatherG3962. 2828I cameG1831 forthG1831 from the FatherG3962 and have comeG2064 into the worldG2889; I am leavingG863 the worldG2889 againG3825 and 29goingG4198 to the FatherG3962.”

29His disciplesG3101 saidG3004, “LoG2396, nowG3568 You are speakingG2980 plainlyG3954 and are not 30usingG3004 31a figureG3942 of speechG3942. 30NowG3568 we knowG3609 that You knowG3609 allG3956 thingsG3956, and haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532 for anyoneG5100 to questionG2065 You; by thisG3778 we 32believeG4100 that You 33cameG1831 from GodG2316.” 31JesusG2424 answeredG611 them, “Do you nowG737 believeG4100? 32BeholdG2400, 34an hourG5610 is comingG2064, and has already comeG2064, for 35you to be scatteredG4650, eachG1538 to 36his ownG2398 home, and to leaveG863 Me aloneG3441; and yet 37I amG1510 not aloneG3441, becauseG3754 the FatherG3962 is with Me. 33TheseG3778 thingsG3778 I have spokenG2980 to you, soG2443 that 38in Me you may haveG2192 peaceG1515. 39In the worldG2889 you haveG2192 tribulationG2347, but 40takeG2293 courageG2293; 41I have overcomeG3528 the worldG2889.”
