16:1 These things I have spoken unto you that ye should not be offended.
16:2 They shall put you out of the synagogues, and the hour will even come when whosoever kills you will think that he does God service.
16:3 And they will do these things unto you because they do not know the Father, nor me.
16:4 But I have told you these things that when that hour shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And I did not say these things unto you at the beginning because I was with you.
16:5 But now I go unto him that sent me, and none of you asks me, Where goest thou?
16:6 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow has filled your heart.
16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
16:8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin and of righteousness and of judgment:
16:10 of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
16:11 of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
16:12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
16:13 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 cause you to know the things which are to come.
16:14 He shall clarify me, for he shall take of that which is mine and shall cause you to know it.
16:15 All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he shall take of that which is mine and shall cause you to know it.
16:16 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.
16:17 Then some of his disciples said among themselves, What is this that he says 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?
16:18 They said therefore, What is this that he says, A little while? we cannot understand what he says.
16:19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of what I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me; and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?
16:20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, and the world shall rejoice; but even though ye shall be sorrowful, your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
16:21 The woman, when she is in travail, has pain, because her hour is come; but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembers the anguish no more, for joy that a man is born into the world.
16:22 And ye now therefore have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and no one shall take your joy from you.
16:23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give you.
16:24 Until now ye have asked nothing in my name; ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be fulfilled.
16:25 I have spoken these things unto you in proverbs, but the hour comes when I shall no longer speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall show you plainly of the Father.
16:26 In that day ye shall ask in my name, and I do not say unto you that I will ask the Father for you;
16:27 for the Father himself loves you because ye have loved me and have believed that I came out from God.
16:28 I came forth from the Father and am come into the world; again, I leave the world and go to the Father.
16:29 His disciples said unto him, Behold, now thou speakest plainly and speakest no proverb.
16:30 Now we understand that thou knowest all things and needest not that anyone should ask thee; by this we believe that thou didst come forth from God.
16:32 Behold, the hour comes and is now come, that ye shall be scattered, each one to his own, and shall leave me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
16:33 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.
