John 16

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.
