John 16:1-11 ▼

1 These thinges have I sayde vnto you because ye shuld not be offended.

2 They shall excomunicat you: ye ye tyme shall come that whosoever killeth you will thinke that he doth God service.

3 And suche thinges will they do vnto you because they have not knowen the father nether yet 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.

5 But now I goo my waye to him that sent me and none of you axeth me: whither goest thou?

6 But because I have sayde suche thinges vnto you youre hertes are full of sorowe.

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.

8 And when he is come he will rebuke ye worlde of synne and of rightwesnes and of iudgement.

9 Of synne because they beleve not on me:

10 Of rightwesnes because I go to my father and ye shall se me no moare:

11 and of iudgement because the chefe ruler of this worlde is iudged all ready.
