John 16

1These thingsG3778 have I spokenG2980 unto youG4771, thatG2443 ye shouldG4624 notG3361 be offendedG4624.

2They shall putG4160 youG4771 out of the synagoguesG656: yeaG235, the timeG5610 comethG2064, thatG2443 whosoeverG3956 killethG615 youG4771 will thinkG1380 that he doethG4374 GodG3588G2316 serviceG2999.

3AndG2532 these thingsG3778 will they doG4160 unto youG4771, becauseG3754 they haveG1097 notG3756 knownG1097 the FatherG3588G3962, norG3761 meG1473.

4ButG235 these thingsG3778 have I toldG2980 youG4771, thatG2443 whenG3752 the timeG3588G5610 shall comeG2064, ye may rememberG3421 thatG3754 IG1473 toldG3004 youG4771 of themG846. AndG1161 these thingsG3778 I saidG3004 notG3756 unto youG4771 atG1537 the beginningG746, becauseG3754 I wasG1510 withG3326 youG4771.

5ButG1161 nowG3568 I go my wayG5217 toG4314 himG3588 that sentG3992 meG1473; andG2532 noneG3762 ofG1537 youG4771 askethG2065 meG1473, WhitherG4226 goest thouG5217?

6ButG235 becauseG3754 I have saidG2980 these thingsG3778 unto youG4771, sorrowG3588G3077 hath filledG4137 yourG4771 heartG3588G2588.

7NeverthelessG235 IG1473 tellG3004 youG4771 the truthG3588G225; It is expedientG4851 for youG4771 thatG2443 IG1473 go awayG565: forG1063 ifG1437 I goG565 notG3361 awayG565, the ComforterG3588G3875 willG2064 notG3756 comeG2064 untoG4314 youG4771; butG1161 ifG1437 I departG4198, I will sendG3992 himG846 untoG4314 youG4771.

8AndG2532 whenG2064 heG1565 is comeG2064, he will reproveG1651 the worldG3588G2889 ofG4012 sinG266, andG2532 ofG4012 righteousnessG1343, andG2532 ofG4012 judgmentG2920:

9OfG4012 sinG266, becauseG3754 they believeG4100 notG3756 onG1519 meG1473;

10OfG4012 righteousnessG1343, becauseG3754 I goG5217 toG4314 myG1473 FatherG3588G3962, andG2532 ye seeG2334 meG1473 noG3756 moreG2089;

11OfG4012 judgmentG2920, becauseG3754 the princeG3588G758 of thisG3778 worldG3588G2889 is judgedG2919.

12I haveG2192 yetG2089 many thingsG4183 to sayG3004 unto youG4771, butG235 ye cannotG1410 bearG941 themG4183 nowG737.

13HowbeitG1161 whenG3752 heG1565, the Spirit ofG3588G4151 truthG3588G225, is comeG2064, he will guideG3594 youG4771 intoG1519 allG3956 truthG3588G225: forG1063 he shallG2980 notG3756 speakG2980 ofG575 himselfG1438; butG235 whatsoeverG3745 he shall hearG191, that shall he speakG2980: andG2532 he will shewG312 youG4771 thingsG3588 to comeG2064.

14HeG1565 shall glorifyG1392 meG1473: forG3754 he shall receiveG2983 ofG1537 mineG1699, andG2532 shall shewG312 it unto youG4771.

15All thingsG3956 thatG3745 the FatherG3588G3962 hathG2192 areG1510 mineG1699: thereforeG1223 said IG3004, thatG3754 he shall takeG2983 ofG1537 mineG1699, andG2532 shall shewG312 it unto youG4771.

16A little whileG3398, andG2532 ye shallG2334 notG3756 seeG2334 meG1473: andG2532 againG3825, a little whileG3398, andG2532 ye shall seeG3708 meG1473, becauseG3754 IG1473 goG5217 toG4314 the FatherG3588G3962.

17ThenG3767 saidG3004 some ofG1537 hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101 amongG4314 themselvesG240, WhatG5101 isG1510 thisG3778 thatG3739 he saithG3004 unto usG1473, A little whileG3398, andG2532 ye shallG2334 notG3756 seeG2334 meG1473: andG2532 againG3825, a little whileG3398, andG2532 ye shall seeG3708 meG1473: andG2532, BecauseG3754 IG1473 goG5217 toG4314 the FatherG3588G3962?

18They saidG3004 thereforeG3767, WhatG5101 isG1510 thisG3778 thatG3739 he saithG3004, A little whileG3398? weG1492 cannotG3756 tellG1492 whatG5101 he saithG2980.

19NowG3767 JesusG3588G2424 knewG1097 thatG3754 they were desirousG2309 to askG2065 himG846, andG2532 saidG3004 unto themG846, Do ye enquireG2212 amongG3326 yourselvesG240 ofG4012 thatG3754 I saidG3004, A little whileG3398, andG2532 ye shallG2334 notG3756 seeG2334 meG1473: andG2532 againG3825, a little whileG3398, andG2532 ye shall seeG3708 meG1473?

20VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto youG4771, ThatG3754 yeG4771 shall weepG2799 andG2532 lamentG2354, butG1161 the worldG2889 shall rejoiceG5463: andG1161 yeG4771 shall be sorrowfulG3076, butG235 yourG4771 sorrowG3588G3077 shall be turnedG1096 intoG1519 joyG5479.

21A womanG3588G1135 whenG3752 she is in travailG5088 hathG2192 sorrowG3077, becauseG3754 herG846 hourG3588G5610 is comeG2064: butG1161 as soon asG3752 she is deliveredG1080 of the childG3588G3813, she rememberethG3421 noG3756 moreG2089 the anguishG3588G2347, forG1223 joyG3588G5479 thatG3754 a manG444 is bornG1080 intoG1519 the worldG3588G2889.

22AndG2532 yeG4771 nowG3568 thereforeG3767 haveG2192 sorrowG3077: butG1161 I will seeG3708 youG4771 againG3825, andG2532 yourG4771 heartG3588G2588 shall rejoiceG5463, andG2532 yourG4771 joyG3588G5479 no manG3762 takethG142 fromG575 youG4771.

23AndG2532 inG1722 thatG1565 dayG3588G2250 ye shall askG2065 meG1473 nothingG3762. VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto youG4771, WhatsoeverG3745 ye shall askG154 the FatherG3588G3962 inG1722 myG1473 nameG3588G3686, he will giveG1325 it youG4771.

24HithertoG2193 have ye askedG154 nothingG3762 inG1722 myG1473 nameG3588G3686: askG154, andG2532 ye shall receiveG2983, thatG2443 yourG4771 joyG3588G5479 may beG1510 fullG4137.

25These thingsG3778 have I spokenG2980 unto youG4771 inG1722 proverbsG3942: butG235 the timeG5610 comethG2064, whenG3753 I shallG2980 noG3756 moreG2089 speak untoG2980 youG4771 inG1722 proverbsG3942, butG235 I shall shewG312 youG4771 plainlyG3954 ofG4012 the FatherG3588G3962.

26AtG1722 thatG1565 dayG3588G2250 ye shall askG154 inG1722 myG1473 nameG3588G3686: andG2532 I sayG3004 notG3756 unto youG4771, thatG3754 IG1473 will prayG2065 the FatherG3588G3962 forG4012 youG4771:

27ForG1063 the FatherG3588G3962 himselfG846 lovethG5368 youG4771, becauseG3754 yeG4771 have lovedG5368 meG1473, andG2532 have believedG4100 thatG3754 IG1473 came outG1831 fromG3844 GodG3588G2316.

28I came forthG1831 fromG3844 the FatherG3588G3962, andG2532 am comeG2064 intoG1519 the worldG3588G2889: againG3825, I leaveG863 the worldG3588G2889, andG2532 goG4198 toG4314 the FatherG3588G3962.

29HisG846 disciplesG3588G3101 said untoG3004 himG846, LoG3708, nowG3568 speakest thouG2980 plainlyG3954, andG2532 speakestG3004 noG3762 proverbG3942.

30NowG3568 are we sureG1492 thatG3754 thou knowestG1492 all thingsG3956, andG2532 needestG5532 notG3756 thatG2443 any manG5100 should askG2065 theeG4771: byG1722 thisG3778 we believeG4100 thatG3754 thou camest forthG1831 fromG575 GodG2316.

31JesusG3588G2424 answeredG611 themG846, Do yeG4100 nowG737 believeG4100?

32BeholdG3708, the hourG5610 comethG2064, yeaG2532, isG2064 nowG3568 comeG2064, thatG2443 ye shall be scatteredG4650, every manG1538 toG1519 his ownG2398, andG2532 shall leaveG863 meG1473 aloneG3441: and yetG2532 I amG1510 notG3756 aloneG3441, becauseG3754 the FatherG3588G3962 isG1510 withG3326 meG1473.

33These thingsG3778 I have spokenG2980 unto youG4771, thatG2443 inG1722 meG1473 ye might haveG2192 peaceG1515. InG1722 the worldG3588G2889 ye shall haveG2192 tribulationG2347: butG235 be of good cheerG2293; IG1473 have overcomeG3528 the worldG3588G2889.
