"These things have I spoken to you, so that you wouldn't be caused to stumble.
|
|
2. |
They will put you out of the synagogues. Yes, the time comes that whoever kills you will think that he offers service to God.
|
|
3. |
They will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me.
|
|
4. |
But I have told you these things, so that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you about them. I didn't tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.
|
|
5. |
But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?'
|
|
6. |
But because I have told you these things, sorrow has filled your heart.
|
|
7. |
Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I don't go away, the Counselor won't come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.
|
|
8. |
When he has come, he will convict the world in respect to sin, and righteousness, and judgment;
|
|
9. |
of sin, because they don't believe in me;
|
|
10. |
of righteousness, because I am going to my Father, and you see me no more;
|
|
11. |
of judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.
|
|
12. |
I have yet many things to tell you, but you can't bear them now.
|
|
13. |
However when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever things he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you the things that are to come.
|
|
14. |
He will glorify me, for he will take from what is mine, and will declare it to you.
|
|
15. |
All things whatever the Father has are mine; therefore I said that he takes of mine, and will declare it to you.
|
|
16. |
A little while, and you will not see me. Again a little while, and you will see me."
|
|
17. |
Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, "What is this that he says to us, 'A little while, and you won't see me, and again a little while, and you will see me;' and, 'Because I go to the Father?'"
|
|
18. |
They said therefore, "What is this that he says, 'A little while?' We don't know what he is saying."
|
|
19. |
Therefore Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, "Do you inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, 'A little while, and you won't see me, and again a little while, and you will see me?'
|
|
20. |
Most assuredly I tell you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.
|
|
21. |
A woman, when she is in travail, has sorrow, because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she doesn't remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a child is born into the world.
|
|
22. |
You therefore now have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.
|
|
23. |
In that day you will ask me no question. Most assuredly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father, he will give it to you in my name.
|
|
24. |
Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.
|
|
25. |
I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time comes when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.
|
|
26. |
In that day you will ask in my name; and I don't say to you, that I will pray to the Father for you,
|
|
27. |
for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from God.
|
|
28. |
I came out from the Father, and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world, and go to the Father."
|
|
29. |
His disciples said to him, "Behold, now you speak plainly, and speak no figures of speech.
|
|
30. |
Now we know that you know all things, and don't need for anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came forth from God."
|
|
31. |
Jesus answered them, "Do you now believe?
|
|
32. |
Behold, the time comes, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, everyone to his own place, and will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
|
|
33. |
I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have oppression; but cheer up! I have overcome the world."
