2 |They will make you outcasts from the synagogue, but an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering service to God.
3 |These things they will do because they have not known the Father or Me.
4 |But these things I have spoken to you, so that when their hour comes, you may remember that I told you of them. These things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you.
5 |But now I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, 'Where are You going?'
6 |But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.
7 |But 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 |And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment;
9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me;
10 and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me;
11 and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
12 |I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear [them] now.
13 |But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.
14 |He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose [it] to you.
15 |All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose [it] to you.
16 |A little while, and you will no longer see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me.|
17 [Some] of His disciples then said to one another, |What is this thing He is telling us, 'A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me'; and, 'because I go to the Father'?|
18 So they were saying, |What is this that He says, 'A little while? We do not know what He is talking about.|
19 Jesus knew that they wished to question Him, and He said to them, |Are you deliberating together about this, that I said, 'A little while, and you will not see Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me'?
20 |Truly, truly, I say to you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will grieve, but your grief will be turned into joy.
21 |Whenever a woman is in labor she has pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a child has been born into the world.
22 |Therefore you too have grief now; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one [will] take your joy away from you.
23 |In that day you will not question Me about anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you.
24 |Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.
25 |These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; an hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but will tell you plainly of the Father.
26 |In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I will request of the Father on your behalf;
27 for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came forth from the Father.
28 |I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; I am leaving the world again and going to the Father.|
29 His disciples said, |Lo, now You are speaking plainly and are not using a figure of speech.
30 |Now we know that You know all things, and have no need for anyone to question You; by this we believe that You came from God.|
31 Jesus answered them, |Do you now believe?
32 |Behold, an hour is coming, and has [already] come, for you to be scattered, each to his own [home], and to leave Me alone; and [yet] I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.
33 |These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.|
