Chapter 16
John AFV2020 16:1  "I have spoken these things to you so that you will not be offended.
John AFV2020 16:2  They shall cast you out of the synagogues; furthermore, the time is coming that everyone who kills you will think that he is rendering service to God.
John AFV2020 16:3  And they shall do these things to you because they do not know the Father, nor Me.
John AFV2020 16:4  But I have told you these things so that when the time comes, you may remember that I said them to you. However, I did not say these things to you at the beginning because I was with you.
John AFV2020 16:5  But now I am going to Him Who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, 'Where are You going?'
John AFV2020 16:6  But because I have spoken these things to you, grief has filled your hearts.
John AFV2020 16:7  But I am telling you the truth. It is profitable for you that I go away because if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you. However, if I go, I will send it to you.
John AFV2020 16:8  And when that one has come, it will convict the world concerning sin, and righteousness, and judgment:
John AFV2020 16:9  Concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me;
John AFV2020 16:10  Concerning righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you no longer will see Me;
John AFV2020 16:11  And concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
John AFV2020 16:12  I have yet many things to tell you, but you are not able to bear them now.
John AFV2020 16:13  However, when that one has come, even the Spirit of the truth, it will lead you into all truth because it shall not speak from itself, but whatever it shall hear, it shall speak. And it shall disclose to you the things to come.
John AFV2020 16:14  That one shall glorify Me because it shall disclose to you the things that it receives from Me.
John AFV2020 16:15  Everything that the Father has is Mine; for this reason, I said that it shall receive from Me and shall disclose these things to you.
John AFV2020 16:16  A little while, and you shall not see Me; and again a little while, and you shall see Me, because I am going to the Father."
John AFV2020 16:17  Then some of His disciples said to one another, "What is this that He is saying to us, 'A little while, and you shall not see Me; and again a little while, and you shall see Me,' and, 'because I am going to the Father'? "
John AFV2020 16:18  Therefore they said, "What is this that He is saying, the 'little while'? We do not understand what He is saying."
John AFV2020 16:19  Then Jesus, knowing that they desired to ask Him, said to them, "Why are you inquiring among one another about this that I said, 'A little while, and you shall not see Me; and again a little while, and you shall see Me'?
John AFV2020 16:20  Truly, truly I tell you, you shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice; and you shall be grieved, but your grief shall be turned into joy.
John AFV2020 16:21  A woman when she is giving birth has grief because her time of travail has come; but after she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a child has been born into the world.
John AFV2020 16:22  And likewise, you indeed have grief now; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and no one shall take your joy from you.
John AFV2020 16:23  And in that day you shall ask Me nothing. Truly, truly I tell you, whatever you shall ask the Father in My name, He will give you.
John AFV2020 16:24  Until this day, you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full.
John AFV2020 16:25  These things I have spoken to you in allegories; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in allegories, but I will plainly disclose to you the things of the Father.
John AFV2020 16:26  In that day, you shall ask in My name; and I do not tell you that I will beseech the Father for you,
John AFV2020 16:27  For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God.
John AFV2020 16:28  I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and am going to the Father."
John AFV2020 16:29  Then His disciples said to Him, "Behold, now You are speaking plainly and are not speaking in an allegory.
John AFV2020 16:30  Now we know that You understand all things, and do not need to have someone ask You. By this we believe that You came forth from God."
John AFV2020 16:32  Listen, the time is coming, and has already come, that you shall be scattered each to his own, and you shall leave Me alone; and yet I am not alone because the Father is with Me.
John AFV2020 16:33  These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation. But be courageous! I have overcome the world."
