John Chapter 16 (Index)
001 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
002 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
003 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
004 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.
005 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?
006 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
007 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
008 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
009 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
010 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
011 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
012 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
013 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 show you things to come.
014 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you.
015 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show it unto you.
016 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.
017 Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith 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?
018 They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.
019 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?
020 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
021 A woman 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.
022 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.
023 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
024 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
025 These 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 show you plainly of the Father.
026 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:
027 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
028 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.
029 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.
030 Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.
031 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?
032 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
033 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.
