John 16 : King James Version

16
1These things have I spoken unto you, that ye
should not be offended. 2They shall put you out of the
synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will
think that he doeth God service. 3And these things will
they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
4But 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.
5But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you
asketh me, Whither goest thou? 6But because I have said
these things unto you, sorrow 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, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I
depart, I will send him unto you. 8And when he is come,
he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of
judgment: 9Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me
no more; 11Of judgment, because the prince of this world
is judged. 12I have yet many things to say unto you, but
ye cannot bear them now. 13Howbeit 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 shew you things to come. 14He shall glorify
me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
15All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I,
that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 16A
little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while,
and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father. 17Then
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?
18They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A
little while? we cannot tell what he saith. 19Now Jesus
knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye
enquire 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?
20Verily, 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. 21A 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. 22And ye now
therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart
shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. 23And
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.
24Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye
shall receive, that 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
plainly of the Father. 26At that day ye shall ask in my
name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:
27For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have
loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. 28I
came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I
leave the world, and go to the Father. 29His disciples
said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no
proverb. 30Now 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. 31Jesus answered them,
Do ye now believe? 32Behold, 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. 33These 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.
