16:1  “These things I have spoken to you so that you will not be led into sin.
16:2  They will ban you from the synagogue, yet an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering a service to God.
16:3  These things they will do because they have not known the Father nor Me.
16:4  But these things I have spoken to you, so that when their hour comes, you may remember that I told you of them. However, I did not say these things to you at the beginning, because I was with you.
16:5  “But now I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’
16:6  But because I have said these things to you, grief has filled your heart.
16:7  But I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I am leaving; for if I do not leave, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.
16:8  And He, when He comes, will convict the world regarding sin, and righteousness, and judgment:
16:9  regarding sin, because they do not believe in Me;
16:10  and regarding righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you no longer are going to see Me;
16:11  and regarding judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
16:12  “I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them at the present time.
16:13  But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.
16:14  He will glorify Me, for He will take from Mine and will disclose it to you.
16:15  All things that the Father has are Mine; this is why I said that He takes from Mine and will disclose it to you.
16:16  “A little while, and you no longer are going to see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me.”
16:17  So some of His disciples said to one another, “What is this that He is telling us, ‘A little while, and you are not going to see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me’ ; and, ‘because I am going to the Father’ ?”
16:18  So they were saying, “What is this that He says, ‘A little while’ ? We do not know what He is talking about.”
16:19  Jesus knew that they wanted to question Him, and He said to them, “Are you deliberating together about this, that I said, ‘A little while, and you are not going to see Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me’?
16:20  Truly, truly I say to you that you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice; you will grieve, but your grief will be turned into joy!
16:21  Whenever a woman is in labor she has pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a child has been born into the world.
16:22  Therefore you too have grief now; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one is going to take your joy away from you.
16:23  And on that day you will not question Me about anything. Truly, truly I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you.
16:24  Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.
16:25  “These things I have spoken to you in figures of speech; an hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.
16:26  On that day you will ask in My name, and I am not saying to you that I will request of the Father on your behalf;
16:27  for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came forth from the Father.
16:28  I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and going to the Father.”
16:29  His disciples *said, “See, now You are speaking plainly and are not using any figure of speech.
16:30  Now we know that You know all things, and that You have no need for anyone to question You; this is why we believe that You came forth from God.”
16:31  Jesus replied to them, “Do you now believe?
16:32  Behold, an hour is coming, and has already come, for you to be scattered, each to his own home, and to leave Me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.
16:33  These things I have spoken to you so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”
