John 16–17

16^aThese things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not ^bbe offended. ²They shall ^cput you out of the synagogues: yea, ^dthe time cometh, ^ethat whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God ^fservice. ³And these things will they do unto you, ^gbecause they have not known the Father, nor me. ⁴But ^hthese things have I told you, that when ^dthe time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And ⁱthese things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you. ⁵But now ^kI go my way to him that sent me; and ^lnone of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? ⁶But because I have said these things unto you, ^msorrow hath filled your heart. ⁷Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, ⁿthe Comforter ^owill not come unto you; but ^pif I depart, ^qI will send him unto you. ⁸And when he is come, he will ^||rreprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: ^9sOf sin, ^tbecause they believe not on me; ^10uOf righteousness, ^wbecause I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; ^11xOf judgment, because ^ythe prince of this world ^zis judged.

^12aI have yet many things to say unto you, ^bbut ye cannot bear them now. ¹³Howbeit when he, ^cthe Spirit of truth, is come, ^dhe will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and ^ehe will ^fshew you things to come. ¹⁴He shall ^gglorify me: for ^hhe shall receive of mine, and shall ^fshew it unto you. ¹⁵ⁱAll things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that ^hhe shall take of mine, and shall ^fshew it unto you. ^16kA little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ^lye shall see me, ^mbecause I go to the Father.

¹⁷Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, ⁿA 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? ¹⁸They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith. ¹⁹Now Jesus ^oknew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves of that I said, ⁿA little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me? ²⁰Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall ^pweep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but ^qyour sorrow shall be turned into joy. ²¹A ^rwoman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. ²²And ye now therefore have ^ssorrow: but I will see you again, and ^tyour heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. ²³And ^uin that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, ^wWhatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. ²⁴Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, ^xthat your joy may be full. ²⁵These things have I spoken unto you in ^||proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in ^||proverbs, but I shall shew you ^yplainly of the Father. ^26zAt that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: ²⁷For ^athe Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have ^bbelieved ^bcthat I came out from God. ^28cdI came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and ^ego to the Father.

²⁹His disciples said unto him, Lo, ^fnow speakest thou plainly, and speakest no ^||proverb. ³⁰Now are we sure that ^gthou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this ^hwe believe that ^hithou camest forth from God. ³¹Jesus answered them, ^kDo ye now believe? ³²Behold, ^lthe hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ^mye shall be scattered, ⁿevery man to ^||ohis own, and shall leave me alone: and ^pyet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. ³³These things I have spoken unto you, that ^qin me ye might have peace. In the world ^rye shall have tribulation: but ^sbe of good cheer; ^tI have overcome the world.

17These words spake Jesus, and ^alifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, ^bthe hour is come; ^cglorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: ^2dAs thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to ^eas many as thou hast given him. ³And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the ^fonly ^gtrue God, and Jesus Christ, ^hwhom thou hast sent. ⁴ⁱI have glorified thee on the earth: ^kI have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. ⁵And now, O Father, ^lglorify thou me with thine own self with the glory ^mwhich I had with thee ⁿbefore the world was.

^6oI have manifested thy name unto the men ^pwhich thou gavest me out of the world: ^zthine they were, and thou gavest them me; and ^qthey have kept thy word. ⁷Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are ^rof thee. ⁸For I have given unto them ^sthe words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and ^thave known surely that I came out from thee, and they ^thave ^ubelieved that ^wthou didst send me. ^9xI pray for them: I ^ypray not for the world, but for them ^pwhich thou hast given me; for ^zthey are thine. ¹⁰And all mine are thine, and ^athine are mine; and I am glorified ^bin them. ¹¹And now ^cI am no more in the world, but ^dthese are in the world, and I come to thee. ^eHoly Father, ^fkeep ^gthrough thine own name those ^hwhom thou hast given me, ⁱthat they may be one, ^kas we are. ¹²While I was with them in the world, I ^fkept them ^gin thy name: those ^hthat thou gavest me I have kept, and ^lnone of them is lost, but ^mthe son of perdition; ⁿthat the scripture might be fulfilled. ^13oAnd now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have ^pmy joy fulfilled in themselves. ^14qI have given them thy word; and ^rthe world hath hated them, ^sbecause they are not of the world, even as ^tI am not of the world. ¹⁵I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest ^fkeep them from ^uthe evil. ^16wThey are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. ^17xSanctify them ^ythrough thy truth: ^zthy word is ^atruth. ^18bAs thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. ¹⁹And for their sakes I ^csanctify myself, that they also might be ^||dsanctified through the truth. ²⁰Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me ^ethrough their word; ²¹That ^fthey all may be one; as ^gthou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that ^hthey also may be one in us: that the world may ⁱbelieve that ^kthou hast sent me. ²²And ^lthe glory which thou gavest me ^mI have given them; ^hthat they may be one, even as we are one: ^23gmI in them, and thou in me, that ⁿthey may be made perfect in one; and ^othat the world may know that ^kthou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. ²⁴Father, I will that ^pthey also, ^qwhom thou hast given me, be with me where ^rI am; that ^sthey may behold my glory, ^lwhich thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me ^tbefore the foundation of the world. ²⁵O ^urighteous Father, ^vthe world hath not known thee: but ^wI have known thee, and these ^xhave known that ^kthou hast sent me. ²⁶And ^yI have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love ^zwherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, ^gand I in them.
