John 16:6-26 in English

⁶ But because I have spoken these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.

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 go, I will send him unto you.

⁸ And he, when he is come, will convict the world in respect of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

⁹ of sin, because they believe not on me;

¹⁰ of righteousness, because I go to the Father, and ye behold me no more;

¹¹ of judgment, because the prince of this world hath been judged.

¹² I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

¹³ Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but what things soever he shall hear, these shall he speak: and he shall declare unto you the things that are to come.

¹⁴ He shall glorify me: for he shall take of mine, and shall declare it unto you.

¹⁵ All things whatsoever the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he taketh of mine, and shall declare it unto you.

¹⁶ A little while, and ye behold me no more; and again a little while, and ye shall see me.

¹⁷ Some of his disciples therefore said one to another, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye behold me not; and again a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?

¹⁸ They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? We know not what he saith.

¹⁹ Jesus perceived that they were desirous to ask him, and he said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, A little while, and ye behold me not, and again a little while, and ye shall see me?

²⁰ Verily, verily, I say unto you, that ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

²¹ A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but when she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for the joy that a man is born into the world.

²² And ye therefore now have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one taketh away from you.

²³ And in that day ye shall ask me no question. Verily, verily, I say unto you, If ye shall ask anything of the Father, he will give it you in my name.

²⁴ Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be made full.

²⁵ These things have I spoken unto you in dark sayings: the hour cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in dark sayings, but shall tell you plainly of the Father.

²⁶ In that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you;

⁶ Instead, because I have told you these things, sorrow has filled your heart.

⁷ Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it’s to your advantage that I go away; because if I don’t go away, the Counselor won’t come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.

⁸ When He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

⁹ of sin, because they don’t believe in me;

¹⁰ of righteousness, because I go to my Father and you see me no more;

¹¹ and of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

¹² “I still have many things to tell you, but you can’t bear them now.

¹³ However, when the Spirit of truth has come, He will guide you into all truth. He won’t speak on His own, but whatever He hears He will speak. He will announce things to come.

¹⁴ He will glorify me, because He will take from what is mine and reveal it to you.

¹⁵ Everything that the Father has is mine. That is why I said that He will take from what is mine and reveal it to you.

¹⁶ “In a little while, you won’t see me; and in a little while longer, you will see me again, because I go to the Father.”

¹⁷ Then some of Jesus’ disciples said among themselves, “What does He mean by, ‘In a little while, and you won’t see me; and in a little while longer, you will see me, again;’ and, ‘because I go to the Father’?”

¹⁸ They kept asking, “What does He mean by ‘a little while’? We don’t understand what He is saying.”

¹⁹ Now Jesus knew that they wanted to ask Him, and He said to them, “Are you asking yourselves about what I said, ‘In a little while, and you won’t see me; and in a little while longer, you will see me, again’?

²⁰ Most assuredly, I tell you that you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice. You will be sad, but your sadness will be turned into joy.

²¹ A woman in labor is in pain because her time has come; but as soon as she has given birth to the baby, she forgets the agony, for joy that a child has been born into the world.

²² Therefore you have sorrow now, too, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and nobody will take your joy away from you.

²³ “In that day you will ask me nothing. Most assuredly, I tell you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you.

²⁴ Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

²⁵ “I’ve told you these things in figures of speech, but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech, but I will tell you plainly about the Father.

²⁶ In that day you will ask in my name. I don’t tell you that I’ll ask the Father for you,

⁶ But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.

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.

⁸ And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

⁹ Of sin, because they believe not on me;

¹⁰ Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

¹¹ Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

¹² I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

¹³ 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.

¹⁴ He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

¹⁵ All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

¹⁶ 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.

¹⁷ 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?

¹⁸ They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.

¹⁹ 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?

²⁰ 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.

²¹ 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.

²² 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.

²³ 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.

²⁴ Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

²⁵ 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.

²⁶ At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:

⁶ But because I have spoken these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.

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 go, I will send him unto you.

⁸ And he, when he is come, will convict the world in respect of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

⁹ of sin, because they believe not on me;

¹⁰ of righteousness, because I go to the Father, and ye behold me no more;

¹¹ of judgment, because the prince of this world hath been judged.

¹² I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

¹³ Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but what things soever he shall hear, these shall he speak: and he shall declare unto you the things that are to come.

¹⁴ He shall glorify me: for he shall take of mine, and shall declare it unto you.

¹⁵ All things whatsoever the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he taketh of mine, and shall declare it unto you.

¹⁶ A little while, and ye behold me no more; and again a little while, and ye shall see me.

¹⁷ Some of his disciples therefore said one to another, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye behold me not; and again a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?

¹⁸ They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? We know not what he saith.

¹⁹ Jesus perceived that they were desirous to ask him, and he said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, A little while, and ye behold me not, and again a little while, and ye shall see me?

²⁰ Verily, verily, I say unto you, that ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

²¹ A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but when she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for the joy that a man is born into the world.

²² And ye therefore now have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one taketh away from you.

²³ And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, If ye shall ask anything of the Father, he will give it you in my name.

²⁴ Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be fulfilled.

²⁵ These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: the hour cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but shall tell you plainly of the Father.

²⁶ In that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you;

⁶ Instead, because I have told you these things, you are very sad.

⁷ But the truth is that it is good for you that I am going away, because if I do not go away, the Holy Spirit, who will ◄encourage/be like a legal counsel for► you will not come to you. But when I go, I will send him to you.

⁸ When he comes, he will prove that those who do not belong to God MTY are wrong about what is sinful and about who is really righteous and about whom God will judge and condemn for their sin.

⁹ He will tell people that their greatest sin is that they do not believe in me.

¹⁰ He will tell people that because I am going back to my Father, and you will no longer see me, you will know that I am the one who was truly righteous.

¹¹ He will tell people that the fact that God has already determined that he will punish Satan, the one who rules this world, shows that some day God will also punish those who do not belong to him.

¹² I have many more things that I would like to tell you, but you are not able to accept them now.

¹³ But God's Spirit is the one who will teach you God's truth. When he comes, he will guide you so that you understand all spiritual truth. He will not speak from his own authority. Instead, it is the things that he hears my Father say that he will tell you. He will also tell you about things that will happen later.

¹⁴ He will honor me by revealing my truth to you.

¹⁵ Everything that my Father has is mine. That is why I said that the Spirit is able to reveal my truth to you.”

¹⁶ “After a short time I will leave you, and you will not see me. Then a short time after that you will see me again.”

¹⁷ So some of us said to each other, “What does he mean by saying ‘After a short time you will not see me,’ and ‘A short time after that you will see me again’? And what does he mean by ‘Because I am going back to my Father’?”

¹⁸ We kept asking each other, “What does he mean by saying ‘After a little while’? We do not understand what he is saying.”

¹⁹ Jesus realized that we wanted to ask him about that. So he said to us, “You are asking RHQ each other what I meant when I said, ‘After a short time you will not see me, and then a short time after that you will see me again.’

²⁰ Listen to this carefully: After I ◄ leave you/die►, those who oppose God MTY will be happy, but you will be sad. But later you will stop being sad and you will become joyful.

²¹ A woman who is about to bear a child feels pain, because that is what happens MTY at that time. But after her baby is born, she forgets that pain, because she is very joyful that her child has been born.

²² It will be the same with you. I will soon die and you will be sad. But after that, I will see you again. Then you will be joyful, and no one will be able to stop you from being joyful.

²³ When that happens, you will not ask me any questions about anything. Listen to this carefully: After that happens, my Father will do for you anything you ask, because of his relationship with me MTY.

²⁴ Up to the present time, using my authority you have not asked God to do anything for you MTY. Now keep asking him for things that you need. If you do that, you will receive them, and then you will be completely joyful.

²⁵ Although I have been speaking these things using figurative language, there will soon be a time when I will no longer use that kind of language. Instead, I will tell you plainly ◄about my Father/what my Father wants►.

²⁶ At that time, you will ask him for things ◄because you belong to me/with my authority► MTY. I will not need to ask my Father to do what you ask.

⁶ But because I have told you these things, sorrow has filled your heart.

⁷ Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I don’t go away, the Counselor won’t come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.

⁸ When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment;

⁹ about sin, because they don’t believe in me;

¹⁰ about righteousness, because I am going to my Father, and you won’t see me any more;

¹¹ about judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.

¹² “I still have many things to tell you, but you can’t bear them now.

¹³ However, when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.

¹⁴ He will glorify me, for he will take from what is mine and will declare it to you.

¹⁵ All things that the Father has are mine; therefore I said that he takes of mine and will declare it to you.

¹⁶ “A little while, and you will not see me. Again a little while, and you will see me.”

¹⁷ Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me;’ and, ‘Because I go to the Father’?”

¹⁸ They said therefore, “What is this that he says, ‘A little while’? We don’t know what he is saying.”

¹⁹ Therefore Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, “Do you inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me?’

²⁰ Most certainly I tell you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

²¹ A woman, when she gives birth, has sorrow because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she doesn’t remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is born into the world.

²² Therefore you now have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.

²³ “In that day you will ask me no questions. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.

²⁴ Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.

²⁵ “I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.

²⁶ In that day you will ask in my name; and I don’t say to you that I will pray to the Father for you,

⁶ But because I have told you these things, sorrow has filled your heart.

⁷ Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I don’t go away, the Counselor won’t come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.

⁸ When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment;

⁹ about sin, because they don’t believe in me;

¹⁰ about righteousness, because I am going to my Father, and you won’t see me any more;

¹¹ about judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.

¹² “I still have many things to tell you, but you can’t bear them now.

¹³ However, when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.

¹⁴ He will glorify me, for he will take from what is mine and will declare it to you.

¹⁵ All things that the Father has are mine; therefore I said that he takes of mine and will declare it to you.

¹⁶ “A little while, and you will not see me. Again a little while, and you will see me.”

¹⁷ Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me;’ and, ‘Because I go to the Father’?”

¹⁸ They said therefore, “What is this that he says, ‘A little while’? We don’t know what he is saying.”

¹⁹ Therefore Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, “Do you inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me?’

²⁰ Most certainly I tell you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

²¹ A woman, when she gives birth, has sorrow because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she doesn’t remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is born into the world.

²² Therefore you now have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.

²³ “In that day you will ask me no questions. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.

²⁴ Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.

²⁵ “I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.

²⁶ In that day you will ask in my name; and I don’t say to you that I will pray to the Father for you,

⁶ But because I have told you these things, sorrow has filled your heart.

⁷ Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I don’t go away, the Counsellor won’t come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.

⁸ When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgement;

⁹ about sin, because they don’t believe in me;

¹⁰ about righteousness, because I am going to my Father, and you won’t see me any more;

¹¹ about judgement, because the prince of this world has been judged.

¹² “I still have many things to tell you, but you can’t bear them now.

¹³ However, when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.

¹⁴ He will glorify me, for he will take from what is mine and will declare it to you.

¹⁵ All things that the Father has are mine; therefore I said that he takes of mine and will declare it to you.

¹⁶ “A little while, and you will not see me. Again a little while, and you will see me.”

¹⁷ Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me;’ and, ‘Because I go to the Father’?”

¹⁸ They said therefore, “What is this that he says, ‘A little while’? We don’t know what he is saying.”

¹⁹ Therefore Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, “Do you enquire amongst yourselves concerning this, that I said, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me?’

²⁰ Most certainly I tell you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

²¹ A woman, when she gives birth, has sorrow because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she doesn’t remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is born into the world.

²² Therefore you now have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.

²³ “In that day you will ask me no questions. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.

²⁴ Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.

²⁵ “I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.

²⁶ In that day you will ask in my name; and I don’t say to you that I will pray to the Father for you,

⁶ But your hearts are full of sorrow because I have said these things.

⁷ But what I am saying is true: my going is for your good: for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

⁸ And he, when he comes, will make the world conscious of sin, and of righteousness, and of being judged:

⁹ Of sin, because they have not faith in me;

¹⁰ Of righteousness, because I go to the Father and you will see me no more;

¹¹ Of being judged, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

¹² I have still much to say to you, but you are not strong enough for it now.

¹³ However, when he, the Spirit of true knowledge, has come, he will be your guide into all true knowledge: for his words will not come from himself, but whatever has come to his hearing, that he will say: and he will make clear to you the things to come.

¹⁴ He will give me glory, because he will take of what is mine, and make it clear to you.

¹⁵ Everything which the Father has is mine: that is why I say, He will take of what is mine and will make it clear to you.

¹⁶ After a little time you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me.

¹⁷ So some of the disciples said one to another, What is this he is saying, After a little time, you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me? and, I am going to the Father?

¹⁸ So they said again and again, What is this he is saying, A little time? His words are not clear to us.

¹⁹ Jesus saw that they had a desire to put the question to him, so he said to them, Is this what you are questioning one with another, why I said, After a little time, you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me?

²⁰ Truly I say to you, You will be weeping and sorrowing, but the world will be glad: you will be sad, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

²¹ When a woman is about to give birth she has sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she has given birth to the child, the pain is put out of her mind by the joy that a man has come into the world.

²² So you have sorrow now: but I will see you again, and your hearts will be glad, and no one will take away your joy.

²³ And on that day you will put no questions to me. Truly I say to you, Whatever request you make to the Father, he will give it to you in my name.

²⁴ Up to now you have made no request in my name: do so, and it will be answered, so that your hearts may be full of joy.

²⁵ All this I have said to you in veiled language: but the time is coming when I will no longer say things in veiled language but will give you knowledge of the Father clearly.

²⁶ In that day you will make requests in my name: and I do not say that I will make prayer to the Father for you,

⁶ But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.

⁷ But I say the truth to you, It is profitable for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go I will send him to you.

⁸ And having come, he will bring demonstration to the world, of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

⁹ of sin, because they do not believe on me;

¹⁰ of righteousness, because I go away to my Father, and ye behold me no longer;

¹¹ of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

¹² I have yet many things to say to you, but ye cannot bear them now.

¹³ But when he is come, the Spirit of truth, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but whatsoever he shall hear he shall speak; and he will announce to you what is coming.

¹⁴ He shall glorify me, for he shall receive of mine and shall announce it to you.

¹⁵ All things that the Father has are mine; on account of this I have said that he receives of mine and shall announce it to you.

¹⁶ A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me, because I go away to the Father.

¹⁷ Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, What is this he says to us, A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me, and, Because I go away to the Father?

¹⁸ They said therefore, What is this which he says of the little while? We do not know of what he speaks.

¹⁹ Jesus knew therefore that they desired to demand of him, and said to them, Do ye inquire of this among yourselves that I said, A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me?

²⁰ Verily, verily, I say to you, that ye shall weep and lament, ye, but the world shall rejoice; and ye will be grieved, but your grief shall be turned to joy.

²¹ A woman, when she gives birth to a child, has grief because her hour has come; but when the child is born, she no longer remembers the trouble, on account of the joy that a man has been born into the world.

²² And ye now therefore have grief; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one takes from you.

²³ And in that day ye shall demand nothing of me: verily, verily, I say to you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give you.

²⁴ Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

²⁵ These things I have spoken to you in allegories; the hour is coming that I will no longer speak to you in allegories, but will declare to you openly concerning the Father.

²⁶ In that day ye shall ask in my name; and I say not to you that I will demand of the Father for you,

⁶ But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow hath filled your heart.

⁷ But I tell you the truth: it is expedient to you that I go: for if I go not, the Paraclete will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

⁸ And when he is come, he will convince the world of sin, and of justice, and of judgment.

⁹ Of sin: because they believed not in me.

¹⁰ And of justice: because I go to the Father; and you shall see me no longer.

¹¹ And of judgment: because the prince of this world is already judged.

¹² I have yet many things to say to you: but you cannot bear them now.

¹³ But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will teach you all truth. For he shall not speak of himself; but what things soever he shall hear, he shall speak; and the things that are to come, he shall shew you.

¹⁴ He shall glorify me; because he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it to you.

¹⁵ All things whatsoever the Father hath, are mine. Therefore I said, that he shall receive of mine, and shew it to you.

¹⁶ A little while, and now you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me: because I go to the Father.

¹⁷ Then some of the disciples said one to another: What is this that he saith to 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?

¹⁸ They said therefore: What is this that he saith, A little while? we know not what he speaketh.

¹⁹ And Jesus knew that they had a mind to ask him; and he said to them: Of this do you inquire among yourselves, because I said: A little while, and you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me?

²⁰ Amen, amen I say to you, that you shall lament and weep, but the world shall rejoice; and you shall be made sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

²¹ A woman, when she is in labour, hath sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she hath brought forth the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.

²² So also you now indeed have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice; and your joy no man shall take from you.

²³ And in that day you shall not ask me any thing. Amen, amen I say to you: if you ask the Father any thing in my name, he will give it you.

²⁴ Hitherto you have not asked any thing in my name. Ask, and you shall receive; that your joy may be full.

²⁵ These things I have spoken to you in proverbs. The hour cometh, when I will no more speak to you in proverbs, but will shew you plainly of the Father.

²⁶ In that day you shall ask in my name; and I say not to you, that I will ask the Father for you:

⁶ But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.

⁷ Nevertheless I speak the truth to you. It is profitable for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.

⁸ And when He comes, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

⁹ of sin, because they do not believe in Me;

¹⁰ of righteousness, because I am going to My Father and you see Me no more;

¹¹ of judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

¹² “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.

¹³ However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will announce to you things to come.

¹⁴ He will glorify Me, for He will take from what is Mine and He will announce it to you.

¹⁵ All things which the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He takes from what is Mine and will announce it to you.

¹⁶ “A little while and you will not see Me; and again a little while and you will see Me, because I am going to the Father.”

¹⁷ Then some of His disciples said to one another, “What is this that He says to us, ‘A little while and you will not see Me; and again a little while and you will see Me’; and, ‘I am going to the Father’?”

¹⁸ Therefore they said, “What is this that He says, ‘A little while’? We do not understand what He is saying.”

¹⁹ Now Jesus knew that they were desiring to ask Him, and He said to them, “Are you inquiring with one another that I said, ‘A little while and you will not see Me; and again a little while and you will see Me’?

²⁰ Most assuredly I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be grieved, but your grief will be turned into joy.

²¹ A woman, whenever she gives birth, has sorrow, because her hour has come; but whenever the child is born, she no longer remembers the anguish, on account of the joy that a child has been born into the world.

²² Therefore you also now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you.

²³ And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you.

²⁴ Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

²⁵ “These things I have spoken to you in figures of speech; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech, but I will tell you plainly about the Father.

²⁶ In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I will beseech the Father for you;

⁶ But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.

⁷ Nevertheless I am telling you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, because if I do not go away the Enabler will not come to you, but if I do go I will send Him to you.

⁸ “Now when He comes he will convict the world about sin and about righteousness and about judgment:

⁹ first about sin, because they do not believe into me;

¹⁰ then about righteousness, because I am going away to my Father and you will no longer see me;

¹¹ then about judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

¹² “I still have many things to say to you but you cannot bear it now.

¹³ However, when He, the Spirit of the Truth, has come, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own, but He will speak whatever He hears. He will also communicate to you the things that are coming.

¹⁴ He will glorify me because He will take of what is mine and communicate it to you.

¹⁵ All that the Father has is mine; that is why I said that He takes from what is mine and will communicate it to you.

¹⁶ “In just a little you will not see me, and in another little you will see me, because I am going to the Father.”

¹⁷ Then some of His disciples said among themselves: “What is this that He is telling us, ‘In just a little you will not see me, and in another little you will see me,’ and because ‘I am going to the Father’?”

¹⁸ So they said: “What is this ‘little’ that He mentions? We do not know what He is talking about.”

¹⁹ Well Jesus knew that they were wanting to question Him and said to them: “Are you inquiring among yourselves about what I said, ‘In just a little you will not see me, and in another little you will see me’?

²⁰ Most assuredly I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will become grieved, but your grief will be turned into joy.

²¹ When a woman gives birth she has pain, because her time has come; but when the child is born she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world.

²² So in your turn you are now experiencing grief, but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.

²³ In that day you will not question me about anything. “Most assuredly I say to you that whatever you ask the Father in my name He will give you.

²⁴ Until now you have not asked anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.

²⁵ “I have told you these things using figures of speech, but a time is coming when I will no longer talk to you with figures of speech; rather I will tell you plainly about the Father.

²⁶ In that day you will ask in my name; I do not say to you that I will request the Father on your behalf,

⁶ Of course, now that I've told you, you're full of grief.

⁷ But I'm telling you the truth: it's better for you that I go away, for if I don't the Comforter won't come to you. If I go away, I will send him to you.

⁸ When he comes, he will convince those in the world that they have wrong ideas regarding sin, about what is right, and about judgment:

⁹ Sin, for they don't trust in me.

¹⁰ What is right, for I'm going to the Father and you won't see me any longer.

¹¹ Judgment, for the ruler of this world has been condemned.

¹² There's much more I want to explain to you, but you couldn't stand it now.

¹³ However, when the Spirit of truth comes, he will teach you the whole truth. He doesn't speak for himself, but he only says what he hears, and he will tell you what's going to happen.

¹⁴ He brings me glory for he teaches you whatever he receives from me.

¹⁵ All that belongs to the Father is mine. This is why I said that the Spirit teaches you whatever he receives from me.

¹⁶ In a little while you won't see me anymore, but then a little while after that you will see me.”

¹⁷ Some of his disciples said to one another, “What does he mean, ‘In a little while you won't see me, but a little while after that you will see me’? and ‘For I'm going to the Father’?”

¹⁸ They were asking, “What does he mean by ‘in a little while’? We don't know what he's talking about.”

¹⁹ Jesus realized that they wanted to ask him about this. So he asked them, “Are you wondering about my comment, ‘In a little while you won't see me, but a little while after that you will see me’?

²⁰ I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice. You will grieve, but your grief will turn into joy.

²¹ A woman in labor suffers pain because her time has come, but once the baby is born, she forgets the agony because of the joy that a child has been brought into the world.

²² Yes, you're grieving now, but I will see you again; and you will rejoice, and no one can take away your joy.

²³ When that time comes you won't need to ask me for anything. I tell you the truth, the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.

²⁴ Until now you haven't asked for anything in my name, so ask and you shall receive, and your happiness will be complete.

²⁵ I've been talking to you using picture language. But soon I won't use such picture language any more when I speak to you. Instead I'll explain the Father to you very plainly.

²⁶ At that time you will ask in my name. I'm not saying to you that I will plead with the Father on your behalf,

⁶ But because I haue saide these thinges vnto you, your hearts are full of sorowe.

⁷ Yet I tell you the trueth, It is expedient for you that I goe away: for if I goe not away, that Comforter will not come vnto you: but if I depart, I will send him vnto you.

⁸ And when he is come, he will reproue the worlde of sinne, and of righteousnesse, and of iudgement.

⁹ Of sinne, because they beleeued not in me:

¹⁰ Of righteousnesse, because I goe to my Father, and ye shall see me no more:

¹¹ Of iudgement, because the prince of this world is iudged.

¹² I haue yet many things to say vnto you, but ye cannot beare them nowe.

¹³ Howbeit, when he is come which is the Spirit of trueth, he will leade you into all trueth: for he shall not speake of himselfe, but whatsoeuer he shall heare, shall he speake, and he will shew you the things to come.

¹⁴ He shall glorifie me: for he shall receiue of mine, and shall shewe it vnto you.

¹⁵ All thinges that the Father hath, are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shewe it vnto you.

¹⁶ A litle while, and ye shall not see me: and againe a litle while, and ye shall see me: for I goe to the Father.

¹⁷ Then said some of his disciples among them selues, What is this that he saieth vnto vs, A litle while, and ye shall not see me, and againe, a litle while, and ye shall see me, and, For I goe to the Father.

¹⁸ They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A litle while? we know not what he sayeth.

¹⁹ Now Iesus knew that they would aske him, and said vnto them, Doe ye enquire among your selues, of that I said, A litle while, and ye shall not see me: and againe, a litle while, and yee shall see me?

²⁰ Verely, verely I say vnto you, that ye shall weepe and lament, and the worlde shall reioyce: and ye shall sorowe, but your sorowe shalbe turned to ioye.

²¹ A woman when she traueileth, hath sorowe, because her houre is come: but assoone as she is deliuered of the childe, she remembreth no more the anguish, for ioy that a man is borne into the world.

²² And ye nowe therefore are in sorowe: but I will see you againe, and your hearts shall reioyce, and your ioy shall no man take from you.

²³ And in that day shall ye aske me nothing. Verely, verely I say vnto you, whatsoeuer ye shall aske the Father in my Name, he will giue it you.

²⁴ Hitherto haue ye asked nothing in my Name: aske, and ye shall receiue, that your ioye may be full.

²⁵ These things haue I spoken vnto you in parables: but the time will come, when I shall no more speake to you in parables: but I shall shew you plainely of the Father.

²⁶ At that day shall ye aske in my Name, and I say not vnto you, that I will pray vnto the Father for you:

⁶ But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.

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.

⁸ And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

⁹ of sin, because they believe not on me;

¹⁰ of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

¹¹ of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

¹² I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

¹³ 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.

¹⁴ He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

¹⁵ All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

¹⁶ 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.

¹⁷ 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?

¹⁸ They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.

¹⁹ 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?

²⁰ 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.

²¹ 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.

²² 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.

²³ 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.

²⁴ Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

²⁵ 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.

²⁶ At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:

⁶ But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow hath filled your hearts.

⁷ But I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I depart. For if I do not depart, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

⁸ And when he is come, he will bring conviction to the world, of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.

⁹ Of sin, because they believe not in me;

¹⁰ of righteousness, because I go to the Father, and ye see me no more;

¹¹ of judgment, because the prince of this world hath been judged.

¹² I have yet many things to say to you, but ye cannot bear them now.

¹³ But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all the truth. For he will not speak from himself, but whatever he shall hear, that he will speak; and he will tell you the things to come.

¹⁴ He will glorify me, for he will receive of what is mine, and will tell it to you.

¹⁵ Every thing that the Father hath is mine. For this cause I said, that he receiveth of what is mine, and will tell it to you.

¹⁶ A little while, and ye no longer behold me; and again a little while, and ye will see me.

¹⁷ Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, What is this that he saith to us, A little while, and ye behold me not, and again a little while, and ye will see me? and, Because I go to the Father?

¹⁸ They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? We do not know what he is speaking of.

¹⁹ Jesus knew that they were desirous of asking him, and said to them, Is it of this that ye are inquiring of one another, that I said, A little while, and ye behold me not, and again a little while, and ye will See me?

²⁰ Truly, truly do I say to you, that ye will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; ye will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

²¹ 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, through joy that a man is born into the world.

²² So ye also now have sorrow; but I shall see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one taketh from you.

²³ And in that day ye will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly do I say to you, Whatever ye shall ask the Father, he will give it you in my name.

²⁴ Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my name; ask, and ye will receive, that your joy may be made full.

²⁵ These things I have spoken to you in parables. The time is coming, when I shall no more speak to you in parables, but shall tell you plainly of the Father.

²⁶ In that day ye will ask in my name; and I do not tell you that I will pray the Father for you;

⁶ Although your hearts are full of sorrow at all that I have been saying to you.

⁷ Yet I am only telling you the truth; it is for your good that I should go away. For otherwise the helper will never come to you, but, if I leave you, I will send him to you.

⁸ And he, when he comes, will bring conviction to the world as to sin, and as to righteousness, and as to judgement;

⁹ as to sin, for people do not believe in me;

¹⁰ as to righteousness, for I am going to the Father, and you will see me no longer;

¹¹ as to judgement, for the Spirit that is ruling this world has been condemned.

¹² I have still much to say to you, but you cannot bear it now.

¹³ Yet when he — The Spirit of truth — comes, he will guide you into all truth; for he will not speak on his own authority, but he will speak of all that he hears; and he will tell you of the things that are to come.

¹⁴ He will honour me; because he will take of what is mine, and will tell it to you.

¹⁵ Everything that the Father has is mine; that is why I said that he takes of what is mine, and will tell it to you.

¹⁶ In a little while you will no longer see me; and then in a little while you will see me indeed.”

¹⁷ At this some of his disciples said to one another, “What does he mean by saying to us ‘In a little while you will not see me, and then in a little while you will see me indeed’; and by saying ‘Because I am going to the Father’?

¹⁸ What does he mean by ‘In a little while’?” they said; “we do not know what he is speaking about.”

¹⁹ Jesus saw that they were wanting to ask him a question, and said, “Are you trying to find out from one another what I meant by saying ‘In a little while you will not see me; and then in a little while you will see me indeed’?

²⁰ In truth I tell you that you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice; you will suffer pain, but your pain will turn to joy.

²¹ A woman in labour is in pain because her time has come; but no sooner is the child born, than she forgets her trouble in her joy that a child has been born into the world.

²² You, in the same way, are sorry now; but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will rob you of your joy.

²³ And at that time you will not ask me anything; in truth I tell you, if you ask the Father for anything, he will grant it to you in my name.

²⁴ So far you have not asked for anything, in my name; ask, and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.

²⁵ I have spoken to you of all this in figures; a time is coming, however, when I will not speak any longer to you in figures, but will tell you about the Father plainly.

²⁶ You will ask, at that time, in my name; and I do not say that I will intercede with the Father for you;

⁶ Although your hearts are full of sorrow at all that I have been saying to you.

⁷ Yet I am only telling you the truth; it is for your good that I should go away. For otherwise the helper will never come to you, but, if I leave you, I will send him to you.

⁸ And he, when he comes, will bring conviction to the world as to sin, and as to righteousness, and as to judgment;

⁹ as to sin, for people do not believe in me;

¹⁰ as to righteousness, for I am going to the Father, and you will see me no longer;

¹¹ as to judgment, for the Spirit that is ruling this world has been condemned.

¹² I have still much to say to you, but you cannot bear it now.

¹³ Yet when he — The Spirit of truth — comes, he will guide you into all truth; for he will not speak on his own authority, but he will speak of all that he hears; and he will tell you of the things that are to come.

¹⁴ He will honor me; because he will take of what is mine, and will tell it to you.

¹⁵ Everything that the Father has is mine; that is why I said that he takes of what is mine, and will tell it to you.

¹⁶ In a little while you will no longer see me; and then in a little while you will see me indeed.”

¹⁷ At this some of his disciples said to one another, “What does he mean by saying to us ‘In a little while you will not see me, and then in a little while you will see me indeed’; and by saying ‘Because I am going to the Father’?

¹⁸ What does he mean by ‘In a little while’?” they said; “we do not know what he is speaking about.”

¹⁹ Jesus saw that they were wanting to ask him a question, and said, “Are you trying to find out from one another what I meant by saying ‘In a little while you will not see me; and then in a little while you will see me indeed’?

²⁰ In truth I tell you that you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice; you will suffer pain, but your pain will turn to joy.

²¹ A woman in labor is in pain because her time has come; but no sooner is the child born, than she forgets her trouble in her joy that a child has been born into the world.

²² You, in the same way, are sorry now; but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will rob you of your joy.

²³ And at that time you will not ask me anything; in truth I tell you, if you ask the Father for anything, he will grant it to you in my name.

²⁴ So far you have not asked for anything, in my name; ask, and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.

²⁵ I have spoken to you of all this in figures; a time is coming, however, when I will not speak any longer to you in figures, but will tell you about the Father plainly.

²⁶ You will ask, at that time, in my name; and I do not say that I will intercede with the Father for you;

⁶ But because I have told you these things, sorrow has filled your heart.

⁷ Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I don’t go away, the Counselor won’t come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.

⁸ When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment;

⁹ about sin, because they don’t believe in me;

¹⁰ about righteousness, because I am going to 'Avi ·my Father·, and you won’t see me any more;

¹¹ about judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.

¹² “I have yet many things to tell you, but you can’t bear them now.

¹³ However when he, haRuach the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.

¹⁴ He will glorify me, for he will take from what is mine, and will declare it to you.

¹⁵ All things whatever haAbba ·the Father· has are mine; therefore I said that he takes of mine, and will declare it to you.

¹⁶ A little while, and you will not see me. Again a little while, and you will see me.”

¹⁷ Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me;’ and, ‘Because I go to haAbba ·the Father·’?”

¹⁸ They said therefore, “What is this that he says, ‘A little while’? We don’t know what he is saying.”

¹⁹ Therefore Yeshua Salvation perceived that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, “Do you inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me?’

²⁰ Most certainly I tell you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

²¹ A woman, when she gives birth, has sorrow, because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she does not remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is born into the world.

²² Therefore you now have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.

²³ “In that day you will ask me no questions. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of haAbba ·the Father· in my name, he will give it to you.

²⁴ Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.

²⁵ I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about haAbba ·the Father·.

²⁶ In that day you will ask in my name; and I don’t say to you, that I will pray to haAbba ·the Father· for you,

⁶ But because I have sayde suche thinges vnto you youre hertes are full of sorowe.

⁷ Neverthelesse I tell you the trueth it is expedient for you that I goo awaye. For yf I goo not awaye that comforter will not come vnto you. But yf I departe I will sende him vnto you.

⁸ And when he is come he will rebuke the worlde of synne and of rightwesnes and of iudgement.

⁹ Of synne because they beleve not on me:

¹⁰ Of rightwesnes because I go to my father and ye shall se me no moare:

¹¹ and of iudgement because the chefe ruler of this worlde is iudged all ready.

¹² I have yet many thinges to saye vnto you: but ye cannot beare them awaye now.

¹³ How be it when he is come (I meane the sprete of truthe) he will leade yon into all trueth. He shall not speake of him selfe: but whatsoever he shall heare that shall he speake and he will shewe you thinges to come.

¹⁴ He shall glorify me for he shall receave of myne and shall shewe vnto you.

¹⁵ All thinges that the father hath aremyne. Therfore sayd I vnto you that he shall take of myne and shewe vnto you.

¹⁶ After a whyle ye shall not se me and agayne after a whyle ye shall se me: For I goo to the father.

¹⁷ Then sayd some of his disciples bitwene them selves: what is this that he sayth vnto vs after a whyle ye shall not se me and agayne after a whyle ye shall se me: and that I go to the father.

¹⁸ They sayd therfore: what is this that he sayth after a whyle? we cannot tell what he sayth.

¹⁹ Iesus perceaved that they wolde axe him and sayd vnto them: This is it that ye enquyre of bitwene youre selves that I sayd after a whyle ye shall not se me and agayne after a whyle ye shall se me.

²⁰ Verely verely I saye vnto you: ye shall wepe and lamet and the worlde shall reioyce. Ye shall sorowe: but youre sorowe shalbe tourned to ioye.

²¹ A woman when she traveyleth hath sorowe because her houre is come: but assone as she is delivered of the chylde she remembreth no moare the anguysshe for ioye that a man is borne in to the worlde.

²² And ye now are in sorowe: but I will se you agayne and youre hertes shall reioyce and youre ioye shall no man take from you.

²³ And in that daye shall ye axe me no question. Verely verely I saye vnto you whatsoever ye shall axe the father in my name he will geve it you.

²⁴ Hitherto have ye axed nothinge in my name. Axe and ye shall receave it: that youre ioye maye be full.

²⁵ These thinges have I spoken vnto you in proverbes. The tyme will come when I shall no moare speake to you in proverbes: but I shall shewe you playnly from my father.

²⁶ At that daye shall ye axe in myne name. And I saye not vnto you that I will speake vnto my father for you.

⁶ But because I have said these things to you, sadness has filled your heart.

⁷ But truly I tell you, it is better for you that I go away. For if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you, but if I go, I will send him to you.

⁸ When he comes, the Comforter will prove the world to be wrong about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment—

⁹ about sin, because they do not believe in me;

¹⁰ about righteousness, because I am going to the Father, and you will no longer see me;

¹¹ and about judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

¹² I have many things to say to you, but you would not understand them now.

¹³ But when he, the Spirit of Truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak from himself. But he will say whatever he hears, and he will tell you things that are to come.

¹⁴ He will glorify me, because he will take from what is mine and he will tell it to you.

¹⁵ Everything that the Father has is mine. Therefore, I said that the Spirit will take from what is mine and he will tell it to you.

¹⁶ In a short amount of time you will no longer see me, and after another short amount of time you will see me.”

¹⁷ Then some of his disciples said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, 'A short amount of time you will no longer see me and after another short amount of time you will see me,' and, 'Because I go to the Father'?”

¹⁸ Therefore they said, “What is this that he says, 'A short amount of time'? We do not know what he is talking about.”

¹⁹ Jesus saw that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, “Is this what you are asking yourselves, what I meant by saying, 'A little while and you will no longer see me, and again a little while and you will see me'?

²⁰ Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will be glad. You will become full of sadness, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

²¹ When a woman gives birth she has sadness because her hour has come, but when she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers her pain because of her joy that a man has been born into the world.

²² So you have sadness now, but I will see you again, and your heart will be glad, and no one will be able to take away your joy from you.

²³ On that day you will not ask me anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask anything of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.

²⁴ Until now you have not asked anything in my name. Ask, and you will receive so that your joy will be fulfilled.

²⁵ I have said these things to you in figures of speech, but the hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech, but instead I will tell you plainly about the Father.

²⁶ On that day you will ask in my name and I do not say to you that I will pray to the Father for you,

⁶ But because I have told you these things, sorrow has filled your heart.

⁷ Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I don’t go away, the Counselor won’t come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.

⁸ When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment;

⁹ about sin, because they don’t believe in me;

¹⁰ about righteousness, because I am going to my Father, and you won’t see me any more;

¹¹ about judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.

¹² “I still have many things to tell you, but you can’t bear them now.

¹³ However, when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.

¹⁴ He will glorify me, for he will take from what is mine and will declare it to you.

¹⁵ All things that the Father has are mine; therefore I said that he takes of mine and will declare it to you.

¹⁶ “A little while, and you will not see me. Again a little while, and you will see me.”

¹⁷ Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me;’ and, ‘Because I go to the Father’?”

¹⁸ They said therefore, “What is this that he says, ‘A little while’? We don’t know what he is saying.”

¹⁹ Therefore Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, “Do you inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me?’

²⁰ Most certainly I tell you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

²¹ A woman, when she gives birth, has sorrow because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she doesn’t remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is born into the world.

²² Therefore you now have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.

²³ “In that day you will ask me no questions. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.

²⁴ Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.

²⁵ “I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.

²⁶ In that day you will ask in my name; and I don’t say to you that I will pray to the Father for you,

⁶ But because I have told you these things, sorrow has filled your heart.

⁷ Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I don’t go away, the Counsellor won’t come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.

⁸ When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgement;

⁹ about sin, because they don’t believe in me;

¹⁰ about righteousness, because I am going to my Father, and you won’t see me any more;

¹¹ about judgement, because the prince of this world has been judged.

¹² “I still have many things to tell you, but you can’t bear them now.

¹³ However, when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.

¹⁴ He will glorify me, for he will take from what is mine and will declare it to you.

¹⁵ All things that the Father has are mine; therefore I said that he takes of mine and will declare it to you.

¹⁸ They said therefore, “What is this that he says, ‘A little while’? We don’t know what he is saying.”

¹⁹ Therefore Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, “Do you enquire amongst yourselves concerning this, that I said, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me?’

²⁰ Most certainly I tell you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

²¹ A woman, when she gives birth, has sorrow because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she doesn’t remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is born into the world.

²² Therefore you now have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.

²³ “In that day you will ask me no questions. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.

²⁴ Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.

²⁵ “I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.

²⁶ In that day you will ask in my name; and I don’t say to you that I will pray to the Father for you,

⁶ But because I have said these things to you, sorrow hath filled your heart.

⁷ Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I depart; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send him to you.

⁸ And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

⁹ Of sin, because they believe not on me;

¹⁰ Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

¹¹ Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

¹² I have yet many things to say to you, but ye cannot bear them now.

¹³ But, when he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all the truth: for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he shall hear, that will he speak: and he will show you things to come.

¹⁴ He will glorify me: for he will receive of mine, and will show it to you.

¹⁵ All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore I said, that he will take of mine, and show it to you.

¹⁶ 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.

¹⁷ Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith to 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?

¹⁸ They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.

¹⁹ Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said to them, Do ye inquire among yourselves of that which I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?

²⁰ Verily, verily, I say to you, that ye will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice: and ye will be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

²¹ 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.

²² 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.

²³ And in that day ye will ask me nothing: Verily, verily, I say to you, Whatever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.

²⁴ Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

²⁵ These things have I spoken to you in proverbs: but the time cometh when I shall no more speak to you in proverbs, but I shall show you plainly concerning the Father.

²⁶ At that day ye will ask in my name: and I say not to you, that I will pray the Father for you:

⁶ But because I have told you these things, sorrow has filled your heart.

⁷ Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I don’t go away, the Counselor won’t come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.

²⁶ In that day you will ask in my name; and I don’t say to you that I will pray to the Father for you,

⁶ but for I have spoken to you these things, heaviness or sorrow hath full-filled your heart.

⁷ But I say to you truth, it speedeth to you, that I go; for if I go not forth or go away, the Comforter shall not come to you; but if I go forth or go away, I shall send him to you.

⁸ And when he cometh, he shall reprove the world of sin, and of rightwiseness, and of doom,

⁹ Of sin, for they have not believed in me;

¹⁰ and of rightwiseness, for I go to the Father, and now ye shall not see me;

¹¹ but of doom, for the prince of this world is now deemed.

¹² Yet I have many things to say to you, but ye may not bear them now.

¹³ But when the Spirit of truth cometh, he shall teach you all truth; for he shall not speak of himself, but whatever things he shall hear, he shall speak; and he shall tell to you those things that be to come.

¹⁴ He shall clarify me, for of mine he shall take, and shall tell to you.

¹⁵ All things, whatever things the Father hath, be mine; therefore I said to you, that of mine he shall take, and shall tell to you.

¹⁶ A little, and then ye shall not see me; and again a little, and ye shall see me, for I go to the Father.

¹⁷ Therefore some of his disciples said together, What is this thing that he saith to us, A little, and ye shall not see me; and again a little, and ye shall see me, for I go to the Father?

¹⁸ Therefore they said, What is this that he saith to us, A little? we know not what he speaketh.

¹⁹ And Jesus knew, that they would ask him, and he said to them, Of this thing ye seek among you, for I said, A little, and ye shall not see me; and again a little, and ye shall see me.

²⁰ Truly, truly, I say to you, that ye shall mourn and weep, but the world shall have joy; and ye shall be sorrow-ful, but your sorrow shall turn into joy.

²¹ A woman when she beareth child, hath heaviness or sorrow, for her time is come; but when she hath born a son, now she thinketh not on the pain, for joy, for a man is born into the world.

²² And therefore ye have now sorrow, but again I shall see you, and your heart shall have joy, and no man shall take from you your joy.

²³ And in that day ye shall not ask me anything; truly, truly, I say to you, if ye ask the Father anything in my name, he shall give it to you.

²⁴ Till now ye asked nothing in my name; ask ye, and ye shall take, that your joy be full.

²⁵ I have spoken to you these things in proverbs; the hour cometh, when now I shall not speak to you in proverbs, but openly of my Father I shall tell to you.

²⁶ In that day ye shall ask in my name; and I say not to you, that I shall pray the Father for you;

⁶ but for I have spoken to you these things, heaviness or sorrow hath full-filled your heart(s). (but because I have spoken these things to you, now sorrow hath filled your hearts full.)

⁷ But I say to you (the) truth, it speedeth to you, that I go, (or But I tell you the truth, it is more expedient for you, that I go away); for if I go not forth, the Comforter shall not come to you; but if I go forth, I shall send him to you. But I say to you truth, it speedeth to you, that I go; soothly if I shall not go away, the comforter shall not come to you; forsooth if I shall go away, I shall send him to you.

⁸ And when he cometh, he shall reprove the world of sin, and of rightwiseness, and of doom, (And when he cometh, he shall prove the world wrong about sin, and about righteousness, and about judgement.)

⁹ Of sin (or About sin), for they have not believed in me;

¹⁰ and of rightwiseness (or and about righteousness), for I go to the Father, and now ye shall not see me;

¹¹ but of doom, for the prince of this world is now deemed. (and about judgement, for the Prince of this world is now judged.)

¹³ But when the Spirit of truth cometh, he shall teach you all truth; for he shall not speak of himself, but whatever things he shall hear, he shall speak; and he shall tell to you those things that be to come.

¹⁴ He shall clarify me, for of mine he shall take, and shall tell to you. (He shall glorify me, for he shall receive it from me, and then he shall tell it to you.)

¹⁵ All things, whatever things the Father hath, be mine; therefore I said to you, that of mine he shall take, and (then) shall tell to you. (Everything, whatever the Father hath, is mine; and so I said to you, that he shall receive it from me, and then he shall tell it to you.)

¹⁶ A little, and then ye shall not see me; and again a little, and ye shall see me, for I go to the Father.

¹⁷ Therefore some of his disciples said together, What is this thing that he saith to us, A little, and ye shall not see me; and again a little, and ye shall see me, for I go to the Father?

²¹ A woman when she beareth (a) child, hath heaviness or sorrow, for her time is come; but when she hath born a son, now she thinketh not on the pain, for (or because of her) joy, for a man is born into the world.

²² And therefore ye have now sorrow, but again I shall see you, and your heart(s) shall have joy, and no man shall take from you your joy.

²³ And in that day ye shall not ask (of) me anything; truly, truly, I say to you, if ye ask the Father (for) anything in my name, he shall give it to you. (And on that day ye shall ask nothing of me; truly, I tell you the truth, if ye ask the Father for anything in my name, he shall give it to you.)

²⁴ Till now ye (have) asked nothing in my name; ask ye, and ye shall take, (or ask, and ye shall receive), (so) that your joy be full.

²⁵ I have spoken to you these things in proverbs; the hour cometh, when now I shall not speak to you in proverbs, but openly of my Father I shall tell to you or but openly of my Father I shall tell you.

²⁶ In that day ye shall ask in my name; and I say not to you, that I shall pray (to) the Father for you;

⁶ but for Y haue spokun to you these thingis, heuynesse hath fulfillid youre herte.

⁷ But Y seie to you treuthe, it spedith to you, that Y go; for if Y go not forth, the coumfortour schal not come to you; but if Y go forth, Y schal sende hym to you.

⁸ And whanne he cometh, he schal repreue the world of synne, and of riytwisnesse, and of doom.

⁹ Of synne, for thei han not bileued in me;

¹⁰ and of riytwisnesse, for Y go to the fadir, and now ye schulen not se me;

¹¹ but of doom, for the prince of this world is now demed.

¹² Yit Y haue many thingis for to seie to you, but ye moun not bere hem now.

¹³ But whanne thilke spirit of treuthe cometh, he schal teche you al trewthe; for he schal not speke of hym silf, but what euer thinges he schal here, he schal speke; and he schal telle to you tho thingis that ben to come.

¹⁴ He schal clarifie me, for of myne he schal take, and schal telle to you.

¹⁵ Alle thingis `whiche euer the fadir hath, ben myne; therfor Y seide to you, for of myne he schal take, and schal telle to you.

¹⁶ A litil, and thanne ye schulen not se me; and eftsoone a litil, and ye schulen se me, for Y go to the fadir.

¹⁷ Therfor summe of hise disciplis seiden togidere, What is this thing that he seith to vs, A litil, and ye schulen not se me; and eftsoone a litil, and ye schulen se me, for Y go to the fadir?

¹⁸ Therfor thei seiden, What is this that he seith to vs, A litil? we witen not what he spekith.

¹⁹ And Jhesus knew, that thei wolden axe hym, and he seide to hem, Of this thing ye seken among you, for Y seide, A litil, and ye schulen not se me; and eftsoone a litil, and ye schulen se me.

²⁰ Treuli, treuli, Y seie to you, that ye schulen mourne and wepe, but the world schal haue ioye; and ye schulen be soreuful, but youre sorewe schal turne in to ioye.

²¹ A womman whanne sche berith child, hath heuynesse, for hir tyme is comun; but whanne sche hath borun a sone, now sche thenkith not on the peyne, for ioye, for a man is borun in to the world.

²² And therfor ye han now sorew, but eftsoone Y schal se you, and youre herte schal haue ioie, and no man schal take fro you youre ioie.

²³ And in that day ye schulen not axe me ony thing; treuli, treuli, `Y seie to you, if ye axen the fadir ony thing in my name, he schal yyue to you.

²⁴ `Til now ye axiden no thing in my name; `axe ye, `and ye schulen take, that youre ioie be ful.

²⁵ Y haue spokun to you these thingis in prouerbis; the our cometh, whanne now Y schal not speke to you in prouerbis, but opynli of my fadir Y schal telle to you.

²⁶ In that dai ye schulen axe in my name; and Y seie not to you, that Y schal preye the fadir of you;

⁶ but because these things I have said to you, the sorrow hath filled your heart.

⁷ 'But I tell you the truth; it is better for you that I go away, for if I may not go away, the Comforter will not come unto you, and if I go on, I will send Him unto you;

⁸ and having come, He will convict the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment;

⁹ concerning sin indeed, because they do not believe in me;

¹⁰ and concerning righteousness, because unto my Father I go away, and no more do ye behold me;

¹¹ and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world hath been judged.

¹² 'I have yet many things to say to you, but ye are not able to bear them now;

¹³ and when He may come — the Spirit of truth — He will guide you to all the truth, for He will not speak from Himself, but as many things as He will hear He will speak, and the coming things He will tell you;

¹⁴ He will glorify me, because of mine He will take, and will tell to you.

¹⁵ 'All things, as many as the Father hath, are mine; because of this I said, That of mine He will take, and will tell to you;

¹⁶ a little while, and ye do not behold me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go away unto the Father.'

¹⁷ Therefore said some of his disciples one to another, 'What is this that he saith to us, A little while, and ye do not behold me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me, and, Because I go away unto the Father?'

¹⁸ they said then, 'What is this he saith — the little while? we have not known what he saith.'

¹⁹ Jesus, therefore, knew that they were wishing to ask him, and he said to them, 'Concerning this do ye seek one with another, because I said, A little while, and you do not behold me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me?

²⁰ verily, verily, I say to you, that ye shall weep and lament, and the world will rejoice; and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow joy will become.

²¹ 'The woman, when she may bear, hath sorrow, because her hour did come, and when she may bear the child, no more doth she remember the anguish, because of the joy that a man was born to the world.

²² 'And ye, therefore, now, indeed, have sorrow; and again I will see you, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one doth take from you,

²³ and in that day ye will question me nothing; verily, verily, I say to you, as many things as ye may ask of the Father in my name, He will give you;

²⁴ till now ye did ask nothing in my name; ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

²⁵ 'These things in similitudes I have spoken to you, but there cometh an hour when no more in similitudes will I speak to you, but freely of the Father, will tell you.

²⁶ 'In that day, in my name ye will make request, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father for you,
