1 These thynges haue I sayde vnto you, because ye shoulde not be offended. “I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away. “All this I have told you so that you will not fall away.
2 They shall excomunitate you: yea the time shall come, that who so euer kylleth you, wyll thynke that he doth God seruice. They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God.
3 And such thynges wyll they do vnto you, because they haue not knowen the father, neither yet me. And they will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me. They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me.
4 But these thynges haue I tolde you, that when the tyme is come, ye may remeber then that I tolde you. These thynges sayde I not vnto you at the begynnyng, because I was present with you. But 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. I have told you this, so that when their time comes you will remember that I warned you about them. I did not tell you this from the beginning because I was with you,
5 But nowe I go my waye, to hym that sent me, & none of you asketh me, whyther goest thou. But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ but now I am going to him who sent me. None of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’
6 But because I haue saide such thinges vnto you, your heartes are ful of sorow. But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. Rather, you are filled with grief because I have said these things.
7 Neuerthelesse, I tell you the trueth, it is expedient for you that I go away. For yf I go not away, that comforter wyll not come vnto you: But yf I depart, I wyll sende hym vnto you. Nevertheless, 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. But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
8 And whe he is come, he wyll rebuke the world of sinne, and of righteousnes, and of iudgement. And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment:
9 Of sinne, because they beleue not on me. concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; about sin, because people do not believe in me;
10 Of righteousnes, because I go to my father, and ye shall see me no more. concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer; about righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer;
11 Of iudgement, because the prince of this worlde is iudged alredy. concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. and about judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.
12 I haue yet many thynges to say vnto you, but ye can not beare them away nowe. “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.
13 Howebeit, when he is come, whiche is the spirite of trueth, he wyl leade you into all trueth. He shall not speake of himselfe: but whatsoeuer he shal heare, that shall he speake, and he wyll shewe you thynges to come. When 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. But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.
14 He shall glorifie me: For he shall receaue of mine, and shal shewe vnto you. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you.
15 All thynges that the father hath, are mine: Therfore sayde I vnto you that he shall take of mine, & shew vnto you. All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”
16 After a whyle, and ye shall not see me, and agayne after a whyle ye shall see me: for I go to the father. “A little while, and you will see me no longer; and again a little while, and you will see me.” Jesus went on to say, “In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me.”
17 Then sayde some of his disciples betwene them selues: What is this that he saith vnto vs, after a whyle, & ye shal not see me, and againe, after a whyle ye shal see me: and, that I go to the father? So 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’?” At this, some of his disciples said to one another, “What does he mean by saying, ‘In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me,’ and ‘Because I am going to the Father’?”
18 They sayde therefore: What is this that he saith, after a whyle? we can not tell what he saith. So they were saying, “What does he mean by ‘a little while’? We do not know what he is talking about.” They kept asking, “What does he mean by ‘a little while’? We don’t understand what he is saying.”
19 Iesus perceaued that they would aske hym, and sayde vnto them: Do ye enquire among your selues of that I said after a whyle, and, ye shall not see me, & againe, after a while & ye shall see me? Jesus 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’? Jesus saw that they wanted to ask him about this, so he said to them, “Are you asking one another what I meant when I said, ‘In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me’?
20 Ueryly veryly I say vnto you, ye shall wepe and lament, the worlde shall reioyce: ye shall sorowe, but your sorowe shalbe turned to ioy. Truly, 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. Very truly I tell you, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.
21 A woman, when she trauayleth, hath sorowe, because her houre is come: but assoone as she is deliuered of the childe, she remembreth no more the anguishe, for ioy that a man is borne into ye world. When 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. A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world.
22 And ye nowe therefore haue sorowe: but I wyll see you agayne, and your heartes shall reioyce, and your ioy shall no man take from you. So 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. So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.
23 And in that day shall ye aske me no question. Ueryly veryly I say vnto you, whatsoeuer ye shal aske the father in my name, he wyll geue it you. In 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. In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.
24 Hytherto haue ye asked nothyng in my name: Aske, & ye shall receaue, that your ioy may be full. Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full. Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.
25 These thynges haue I spoken vnto you by prouerbes. The tyme wyl come, when I shall no more speake vnto you by prouerbes: but I shall shewe you playnely of my father. “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. “Though I have been speaking figuratively, a time is coming when I will no longer use this kind of language but will tell you plainly about my Father.
26 At that day shall ye aske in my name: And I say not vnto you, that I wyll pray vnto my father for you. In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf; In that day you will ask in my name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf.
27 For the father hym selfe loueth you, because ye haue loued me, and haue beleued that I came out from God. for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God. No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.
28 I went out from the father, and came into the worlde: Agayne, I leaue the worlde, and go to the father. I came from the Father and have come into the world, and now I am leaving the world and going to the Father.” I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.”
29 His disciples sayde vnto hym: Lo, nowe talkest thou plainely, and speakest no prouerbe. His disciples said, “Ah, now you are speaking plainly and not using figurative speech! Then Jesus’ disciples said, “Now you are speaking clearly and without figures of speech.
30 Nowe are we sure that thou knowest all thynges, & nedest not, that any man shoulde aske thee any question: Therfore beleue we, that thou camest from God. Now 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.” Now we can see that you know all things and that you do not even need to have anyone ask you questions. This makes us believe that you came from God.”
31 Iesus aunswered them: Do ye nowe beleue? Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? “Do you now believe?” Jesus replied.
32 Beholde, the houre draweth nye, and is alredy come, that ye shalbe scattered euery man to his owne, and shall leaue me alone. And yet am I not alone: For the father is with me. Behold, 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. “A time is coming and in fact has come when you will be scattered, each to your own home. You will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me.
33 These wordes haue I spoken vnto you, that in me ye myght haue peace. For in the worlde shall ye haue tribulation: but be of good cheare, I haue ouercome the worlde. I 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.” “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
