1 These thinges have I sayde vnto you because ye shuld 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 excomunicat you: ye ye tyme shall come that whosoever killeth you will thinke that he doth God service. 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 suche thinges will they do vnto you because they have not knowen the father nether 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 thinges have I tolde you that when that houre is come ye myght remember them that I tolde you so. These thinges sayde I not unto you at the begynninge 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 now I goo my waye to him that sent me and none of you axeth me: whither 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 have sayde suche thinges vnto you youre hertes are full of sorowe. 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 Neverthelesse I tell you the trueth it is expedient for you that I goo awaye. For yf I goo not awaye that comforter will not come vnto you. But yf I departe I will sende him 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 when he is come he will rebuke ye worlde of synne and of rightwesnes 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 synne because they beleve not on me: concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; about sin, because people do not believe in me;
10 Of rightwesnes because I go to my father and ye shall se me no moare: 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 and of iudgement because the chefe ruler of this worlde is iudged all ready. concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. and about judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.
12 I have yet many thinges to saye vnto you: but ye canot beare them awaye now. “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 How be it when he is come (I meane the sprete of truthe) he will leade yon into all trueth. He shall not speake of him selfe: but whatsoever he shall heare that shall he speake and he will shewe you thinges 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 glorify me for he shall receave of myne and shall 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 thinges that ye father hath aremyne. Therfore sayd I vnto you that he shall take of myne and shewe 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 ye shall not se me and agayne after a whyle ye shall se me: For I goo 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 sayd some of his disciples bitwene them selves: what is this yt he sayth vnto vs after a whyle ye shall not se me and agayne after a whyle ye shall se 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 sayd therfore: what is this that he sayth after a whyle? we canot tell what he sayth. 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 perceaved yt they wo lde axe him and sayd vnto them: This is it that ye enquyre of bitwene youre selves that I sayd after a whyle ye shall not se me and agayne after a whyle ye shall se 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 Verely verely I saye vnto you: ye shall wepe and lamet and the worlde shall reioyce. Ye shall sorowe: but youre sorowe shalbe tourned to ioye. 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 traveyleth hath sorowe because her houre is come: but assone as she is delivered of the chylde she remembreth no moare the anguysshe for ioye that a man is borne in to the worlde. 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 now are in sorowe: but I will se you agayne and youre hertes shall reioyce and youre ioye shall no ma take fro 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 daye shall ye axe me no question. Verely verely I saye vnto you whatsoever ye shall axe the father in my name he will geve 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 Hitherto have ye axed nothinge in my name. Axe and ye shall receave it: that youre ioye maye 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 thinges have I spoken vnto you in proverbes. The tyme will come when I shall no moare speake to you in proverbes: but I shall shewe you playnly from 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 daye shall ye axe in myne name. And I saye not vnto you that I will speake 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 ye father him selfe loveth you because ye have loved me and have beleved 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: and I leve the worlde agayne and go to ye 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 sayd vnto him: loo now speakest thou playnly and thou vsest no proverbe. 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 knowe we that thou vnderstondest all thinges and nedest not yt eny man shuld axe the eny question. Therfore beleve we that thou camst fro 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 answered them: Now ye do beleve. Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? “Do you now believe?” Jesus replied.
32 Beholde ye houre draweth nye and is already come yt ye shalbe scatered every man his wayes and shall leave me alone. And yet am I not alone. For ye 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 have I spoke vnto you yt in me ye might have peace. For in ye worlde shall ye have tribulacio: but be of good cheare I have over come 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.”
