16:1  These things have I spoken unto you, that you should not be offended.
16:2  They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time comes, that whosoever kills you will think that he does God service.
16:3  And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
16:4  But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, you may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.
16:5  But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asks me, Where do you go?
16:6  But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow has filled your heart.
16:7  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.
16:8  And when he is come, he will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
16:9  Of sin, because they believe not on me;
16:10  Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and you see me no more;
16:11  Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
16:12  I have yet many things to say unto you, but you cannot bear them now.
16:13  But 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.
16:14  He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you.
16:15  All things that the Father has are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show it unto you.
16:16  A little while, and you shall not see me: and again, a little while, and you shall see me, because I go to the Father.
16:17  Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he said unto us, A little while, and you shall not see me: and again, a little while, and you shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?
16:18  They said therefore, What is this that he said, A little while? we cannot tell what he said.
16:19  Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do you inquire among yourselves of what I said, A little while, and you shall not see me: and again, a little while, and you shall see me?
16:20  Verily, verily, I say unto you, That you shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and you shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
16:21  A woman when she is in travail has sorrow, because her hour has come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembers no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
16:22  And you now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man takes from you.
16:23  And in that day you shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, whatsoever you shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it to you.
16:24  Until now have you asked nothing in my name: ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full.
16:25  These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time comes, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall show you plainly of the Father.
16:26  At that day you shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:
16:27  For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
16:28  I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.
16:29  His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speak you plainly, and speak no proverb.
16:30  Now are we sure that you know all things, and need not that any man should ask you: but this we believe that you came forth from God.
16:31  Jesus answered them, Do you now believe?
16:32  Behold, the hour comes, yea, is now come, that you 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.
16:33  These things I have spoken unto you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
