| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1 “I have told you these things so that you won’t abandon your faith. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2 For you will be expelled from the synagogues, and the time is coming when those who kill you will think they are doing a holy service for God. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3 This is because they have never known the Father or me. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4 Yes, I’m telling you these things now, so that when they happen, you will remember my warning. I didn’t tell you earlier because I was going to be with you for a while longer. The Work of the Holy Spirit |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5 “But now I am going away to the one who sent me, and not one of you is asking where I am going. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6 Instead, you grieve because of what I’ve told you. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7 But in fact, it is best for you that I go away, because if I don’t, the Advocate won’t come. If I do go away, then I will send him to you. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8 And when he comes, he will convict the world of its sin, and of God’s righteousness, and of the coming judgment. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9 The world’s sin is that it refuses to believe in me. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10 Righteousness is available because I go to the Father, and you will see me no more. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11 Judgment will come because the ruler of this world has already been judged. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12 “There is so much more I want to tell you, but you can’t bear it now. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14 He will bring me glory by telling you whatever he receives from me. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15 All that belongs to the Father is mine; this is why I said, ‘The Spirit will tell you whatever he receives from me.’ Sadness Will Be Turned to Joy |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16 “In a little while you won’t see me anymore. But a little while after that, you will see me again.” |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17Some of the disciples asked each other, “What does he mean when he says, ‘In a little while you won’t see me, but then you will see me,’ and ‘I am going to the Father’? |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18And what does he mean by ‘a little while’? We don’t understand.” |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Jesus realized they wanted to ask him about it, so he said, “Are you asking yourselves what I meant? I said in a little while you won’t see me, but a little while after that you will see me again. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20 I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn over what is going to happen to me, but the world will rejoice. You will grieve, but your grief will suddenly turn to wonderful joy. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21 It will be like a woman suffering the pains of labor. When her child is born, her anguish gives way to joy because she has brought a new baby into the world. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22 So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again; then you will rejoice, and no one can rob you of that joy. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23 At that time you won’t need to ask me for anything. I tell you the truth, you will ask the Father directly, and he will grant your request because you use my name. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24 You haven’t done this before. Ask, using my name, and you will receive, and you will have abundant joy. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25 “I have spoken of these matters in figures of speech, but soon I will stop speaking figuratively and will tell you plainly all about the Father. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26 Then you will ask in my name. I’m not saying I will ask the Father on your behalf, |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27 for the Father himself loves you dearly because you love me and believe that I came from God. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28 Yes, I came from the Father into the world, and now I will leave the world and return to the Father.” |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29Then his disciples said, “At last you are speaking plainly and not figuratively. |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30Now we understand that you know everything, and there’s no need to question you. From this we believe that you came from God.” |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31Jesus asked, “Do you finally believe? |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32 But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when you will be scattered, each one going his own way, leaving me alone. Yet I am not alone because the Father is with me. |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33 I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” |
