[an error occurred while processing this directive]English Standard Version
1[an error occurred while processing this directive]1“I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away.
2[an error occurred while processing this directive]2They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God.
3[an error occurred while processing this directive]3And they will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me.
4[an error occurred while processing this directive]4But I have said these things to you, that when their hour comes you may remember that I told them to you. “I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you.
5[an error occurred while processing this directive]5But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’
6[an error occurred while processing this directive]6But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.
7[an error occurred while processing this directive]7Nevertheless, 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 go, I will send him to you.
8[an error occurred while processing this directive]8And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment:
9[an error occurred while processing this directive]9concerning sin, because they do not believe in me;
10[an error occurred while processing this directive]10concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer;
11[an error occurred while processing this directive]11concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
12[an error occurred while processing this directive]12“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
13[an error occurred while processing this directive]13When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.
14[an error occurred while processing this directive]14He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
15[an error occurred while processing this directive]15All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
16[an error occurred while processing this directive]16“A little while, and you will see me no longer; and again a little while, and you will see me.”
17[an error occurred while processing this directive]17So some of his disciples said to one another, “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 am going to the Father’?”
18[an error occurred while processing this directive]18So they were saying, “What does he mean by ‘a little while’? We do not know what he is talking about.”
19[an error occurred while processing this directive]19Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, so he said to them, “Is this what you are asking yourselves, what I meant by saying, ‘A little while and you will not see me, and again a little while and you will see me’?
20[an error occurred while processing this directive]20Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy.
21[an error occurred while processing this directive]21When a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world.
22[an error occurred while processing this directive]22So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.
23[an error occurred while processing this directive]23In that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.
24[an error occurred while processing this directive]24Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
25[an error occurred while processing this directive]25“I have said these things to you in figures of speech. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech but will tell you plainly about the Father.
26[an error occurred while processing this directive]26In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf;
27[an error occurred while processing this directive]27for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.
28[an error occurred while processing this directive]28I came from the Father and have come into the world, and now I am leaving the world and going to the Father.”
29[an error occurred while processing this directive]29His disciples said, “Ah, now you are speaking plainly and not using figurative speech!
30[an error occurred while processing this directive]30Now we know that you know all things and do not need anyone to question you; this is why we believe that you came from God.”
31[an error occurred while processing this directive]31Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe?
32[an error occurred while processing this directive]32Behold, the hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.
33[an error occurred while processing this directive]33I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
