John 16:6-26

⁶but 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.)

⁷But 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.

⁸And 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.)

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

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

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

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

¹³But 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.

¹⁴He 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.)

¹⁵All 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.)

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

¹⁷Therefore 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?

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

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

²⁰Truly, truly, I say to you, (or Truly, I tell you the truth), that ye shall mourn and weep, but the world shall have joy; and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall turn into joy.

²¹A 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.

²²And 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.

²³And 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.)

²⁴Till 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.

²⁵I 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.

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