King James VersionJohn16

John

1 These things have I spo­ken unto you, that ye should not be of­fend­ed. 2 They shall put you out of the syn­a­gogues: yea, the time cometh, that whoso­ev­er kil­leth you will think that he doeth God ser­vice. 3 And these things will they do unto you, be­cause they have not known the Fa­ther, nor me. 4 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may re­mem­ber that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the be­gin­ning, be­cause I was with you. 5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you as­keth me, Whith­er goest thou? 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: 27 For the Fa­ther him­self loveth you, be­cause ye have loved me, and have be­lieved that I came out from God. 28 I came forth from the Fa­ther, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Fa­ther. 29 His dis­ci­ples said unto him, Lo, now speak­est thou plain­ly, and speak­est no proverb. 30 Now are we sure that thou know­est all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we be­lieve that thou camest forth from God. 31 Je­sus an­swered them, Do ye now be­lieve? 32 Be­hold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scat­tered, ev­ery man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, be­cause the Fa­ther is with me. 33 These things I have spo­ken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribu­la­tion: but be of good cheer; I have over­come the world.
