Jesus Warns and Comforts His Disciples
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 16
|
|
###### 1 **"These things I have spoken to you, that you** **should not be made to stumble.**
|
|
###### 2 **They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming** **that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service.**
|
|
###### 3 **And** **these things they will do** **to you because they have not known the Father nor Me.**
|
|
###### 4 **But these things I have told you, that when** **the time comes, you may remember that I told you of them.**
|
|
**"And these things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you.**The Work of the Holy Spirit
|
|
|
|
###### 5 **"But now I** **go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, 'Where are You going?'**
|
|
###### 6 **But because I have said these things to you,** **sorrow has filled your heart.**
|
|
###### 7 **Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage 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 has** **come, 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 go to My Father and you see Me no more;**
|
|
###### 11 **of judgment, because** **the ruler of this world is 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 tell you things to come.**
|
|
###### 14 **He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare _it_ to you.**
|
|
###### 15 **All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He** **will take of Mine and declare _it_ to you.**Sorrow Will Turn to Joy
|
|
|
|
###### 16 **"A** **little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me,** **because I go to the Father."**
|
|
|
|
###### 17 Then _some_ of His disciples said among themselves, "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, **'because I go to the Father'**?"
|
|
###### 18 They said therefore, "What is this that He says, **'A little while'**? We do not know what He is saying."
|
|
|
|
###### 19 Now Jesus knew that they desired to ask Him, and He said to them, **"Are you inquiring among yourselves about what 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 sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into** **joy.**
|
|
###### 21 **A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because her hour has come; but as soon as she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world.**
|
|
###### 22 **Therefore you 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.**Jesus Christ Has Overcome the World
|
|
|
|
###### 25 **"These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, 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 shall pray the Father for you;**
|
|
###### 27 **for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and** **have believed that I came forth from God.**
|
|
###### 28 **I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father."**
|
|
|
|
###### 29 His disciples said to Him, "See, now You are speaking plainly, and using no figure of speech!
|
|
###### 30 Now we are sure that You know all things, and have no need that anyone should question You. By this we believe that You came forth from God."
|
|
|
|
###### 31 Jesus answered them, **"Do you now believe?**
|
|
###### 32 **Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered,** **each to his** **own, and will leave Me alone. And** **yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.**
|
|
###### 33 **These things I have spoken to you, that** **in Me you may have peace.** **In the world you** **will have tribulation; but be of good cheer,** **I have overcome the world."**
