" aThese things
I have spoken
to you so
that you may be kept
from bstumbling
.
" 1They will amake you outcasts
from the synagogue
, but ban hour
is coming
for everyone
cwho kills
you to think
that he is offering
service
to God
.
"These things
they will do
abecause
they have not known
the Father
or
Me.
"But these things
I have spoken
to you, aso
that when
their hour
comes
, you 1may remember
that I told
you of them. These
things
I did not say
to you bat the beginning
, because
I was with you.
"But now aI am going
to Him who sent
Me; and none
of you asks
Me, ` bWhere
are You going
?'
"But because I have said
these
things
to you, asorrow
has filled
your heart
.
"But I tell you the truth
, it is to your advantage
that I go
away
; for if
I do not go
away
, the 1 aHelper
will not come
to you; but if
I go
, bI will send
Him to you.
"And He, when He comes, will convict
the world
concerning
sin
and righteousness
and judgment
;
concerning sin
, abecause
they do not believe
in Me;
and concerning arighteousness
, because
bI go
to the Father
and you no
longer
see
Me;
aand concerning judgment
, because
the ruler
of this
world
has been judged
.
"I have many
more
things
to say
to you, but you cannot
bear
them now
.
"But when He, athe Spirit
of truth
, comes
, He will bguide
you into all
the truth
; for He will not speak
on His own
initiative
, but whatever
He hears
, He will speak
; and He will disclose
to you what is to come
.
"He will aglorify Me, for He will take
of Mine
and will disclose
it to you.
" aAll things
that the Father
has
are Mine
; therefore
I said
that He takes
of Mine
and will disclose
it to you.
" aA little while
, and byou will no
longer
see
Me; and again
a little
while
, and cyou will see
Me."
Some of His disciples then
said
to one
another
, "What
is this
thing
He is telling
us, ` aA little
while
, and you will not see
Me; and again
a little
while
, and you will see
Me'; and, `because
bI 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."
aJesus knew
that they wished
to question
Him, and He said
to them, "Are you deliberating
together
about
this
, that I said
, `A little
while
, and you will not see
Me, and again
a little
while
, and you will see
Me'?
"Truly, truly
, I say
to you, that ayou will weep
and lament
, but the world
will rejoice
; you will grieve
, but byour grief
will be turned
into joy
.
" aWhenever a woman
is in labor
she has
1pain
, 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 2child
has been born
into the world
.
"Therefore ayou too
have
grief
now
; but bI will see
you again
, and your heart
will rejoice
, and no
one
will take
your joy
away
from you.
" aIn that day byou will not question
Me about anything
. Truly
, truly
, I say
to you, cif
you ask
the Father
for anything
in My name
, He will give
it to you.
" aUntil now
you have asked
for nothing
in My name
; ask
and you will receive
, so
that your bjoy
may be made
full
.
"These things
I have spoken
to you in 1 afigurative
language
; ban hour
is coming
when
I will no
longer
speak
to you in 1figurative
language
, but will tell
you plainly
of the Father
.
" aIn that day byou will ask
in My name
, and I do not say
to you that I will request
of the Father
on your behalf
;
for athe Father Himself
loves
you, because
you have loved
Me and bhave believed
that cI came
forth
from the Father
.
" aI came forth
from the Father
and have come
into the world
; I am leaving
the world
again
and bgoing
to the Father
."
His disciples *said
, "Lo
, now
You are speaking
plainly
and are not 1using
aa figure
of speech
.
"Now we know
that You know
all
things
, and have
no
need
for anyone
to question
You; by this
we abelieve
that You bcame
from God
."
Jesus answered
them, "Do you now
believe
?
"Behold, aan hour
is coming
, and has already come
, for byou to be scattered
, each
to chis own
home, and to leave
Me alone
; and yet dI am
not alone
, because
the Father
is with Me.
"These things
I have spoken
to you, so
that ain Me you may have
peace
. bIn the world
you have
tribulation
, but ctake
courage
; dI have overcome
the world
."
