"These things I have spoken to you so that you will not be led into sin.

These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.

"They will ban you from the synagogue, yet an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering a service to God.

They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

"These things they will do because they have not known the Father nor Me.

And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.

"But these things I have spoken to you, so that when their hour comes, you may remember that I told you of them. However, I did not say these things to you at the beginning, because I was with you.

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.

"But now I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, 'Where are You going?'

But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?

"But because I have said these things to you, grief has filled your heart.

But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.

"But I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I am leaving; for if I do not leave, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.

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.

"And He, when He comes, will convict the world regarding sin, and righteousness, and judgment:

And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

regarding sin, because they do not believe in Me;

Of sin, because they believe not on me;

and regarding righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you no longer are going to see Me;

Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

and regarding judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

"I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them at the present time.

I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

"But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.

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 shew you things to come.

"He will glorify Me, for He will take from Mine and will disclose it to you.

He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

"All things that the Father has are Mine; this is why I said that He takes from Mine and will disclose it to you.

All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

"A little while, and you no longer are going to see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me."

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.

So some of His disciples said to one another, "What is this that He is telling us, 'A little while, and you are not going to see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me'; and, 'because I am going to the Father'?"

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?

So they were saying, "What is this that He says, 'A little while'? We do not know what He is talking about."

They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.

Jesus knew that they wanted to question Him, and He said to them, "Are you deliberating together about this, that I said, 'A little while, and you are not going to see Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me'?

Now 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?

"Truly, truly I say to you that you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice; you will grieve, but your grief will be turned into joy!

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.

"Whenever a woman is in labor she has pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a child has been born into the world.

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.

"Therefore you too have grief now; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one is going to take your joy away from you.

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.

"And on that day you will not question Me about anything. Truly, truly I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you.

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.

"Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.

Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

"These things I have spoken to you in figures of speech; an hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.

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 shew you plainly of the Father.

"On that day you will ask in My name, and I am not saying to you that I will request of the Father on your behalf;

At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:

for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came forth from the Father.

For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.

"I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and going to the Father."

I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.

His disciples said, "See, now You are speaking plainly and are not using any figure of speech.

His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.

"Now we know that You know all things, and that You have no need for anyone to question You; this is why we believe that You came forth from God."

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.

Jesus replied to them, "Do you now believe?

Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?

"Behold, an hour is coming, and has already come, for you to be scattered, each to his own home, and to leave Me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.

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.

"These things I have spoken to you so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world."

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.
