Jesus' Warning
These things I have spoken unto you that ye may not be offended.
These things I have spoken unto you that ye may not be offended.
“I have told you these things so that you won’t abandon your faith.
They shall put you out of the synagogues; but the hour is coming that every one who kills you will think to render service to God;
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.
and these things they will do because they have not known the Father nor me.
This is because they have never known the Father or me.
But I have spoken these things to you, that when their hour shall have come, ye may remember them, that I have said [them] unto you. But I did not say these things unto you from [the] beginning, because I was with you.
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 Holy Spirit Promised
But now I go to him that has sent me, and none of you demands of me, Where goest thou?
But now I go to him that has sent me, and none of you demands of me, Where goest thou?
The Work of the Holy Spirit
“But now I am going away to the one who sent me, and not one of you is asking where I am going.
But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.
Instead, you grieve because of what I’ve told you.
But I say the truth to you, It is profitable for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go I will send him to you.
And having come, he will bring demonstration to the world, of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
And when he comes, he will convict the world of its sin, and of God’s righteousness, and of the coming judgment.
of righteousness, because I go away to [my] Father, and ye behold me no longer;
Righteousness is available because I go to the Father, and you will see me no more.
of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
Judgment will come because the ruler of this world has already been judged.
I have yet many things to say to you, but ye cannot bear them now.
“There is so much more I want to tell you, but you can’t bear it now.
But when *he* is come, the Spirit of truth, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but whatsoever he shall hear he shall speak; and he will announce to you what is coming.
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.
He shall glorify me, for he shall receive of mine and shall announce [it] to you.
He will bring me glory by telling you whatever he receives from me.
All things that the Father has are mine; on account of this I have said that he receives of mine and shall announce [it] to you.
All that belongs to the Father is mine; this is why I said, ‘The Spirit will tell you whatever he receives from me.’
A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me, [because I go away to the Father].
Sadness Will Be Turned to Joy
“In a little while you won’t see me anymore. But a little while after that, you will see me again.”
The Disciples' Grief will Turn to Joy
[Some] of his disciples therefore said to one another, What is this he says to us, A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me, and, Because I go away to the Father?
[Some] of his disciples therefore said to one another, What is this he says to us, A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me, and, Because I go away to the Father?
Some 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’?
They said therefore, What is this which he says [of] the little while? We do not know [of] what he speaks.
And what does he mean by ‘a little while’? We don’t understand.”
Jesus knew therefore that they desired to demand of him, and said to them, Do ye inquire of this among yourselves that I said, A little while and ye do not behold me; and again a little while and ye shall see me?
Jesus 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.
Verily, verily, I say to you, that ye shall weep and lament, ye, but the world shall rejoice; and ye will be grieved, but your grief shall be turned to joy.
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.
A woman, when she gives birth to a child, has grief because her hour has come; but when the child is born, she no longer remembers the trouble, on account of the joy that a man has been born into the world.
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.
And ye now therefore have grief; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one takes from you.
So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again; then you will rejoice, and no one can rob you of that joy.
Ask and You will Receive
And in that day ye shall demand nothing of me: verily, verily, I say to you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give you.
And in that day ye shall demand nothing of me: verily, verily, I say to you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give you.
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.
Hitherto ye have asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
You haven’t done this before. Ask, using my name, and you will receive, and you will have abundant joy.
These things I have spoken to you in allegories; the hour is coming that I will no longer speak to you in allegories, but will declare to you openly concerning the Father.
“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.
In that day ye shall ask in my name; and I say not to you that I will demand of the Father for you,
Then you will ask in my name. I’m not saying I will ask the Father on your behalf,
for the Father himself has affection for you, because ye have had affection for me, and have believed that I came out from God.
I came out from the Father and have come into the world; again, I leave the world and go to the Father.
Yes, I came from the Father into the world, and now I will leave the world and return to the Father.”
His disciples say to him, Lo, now thou speakest openly and utterest no allegory.
Then his disciples said, “At last you are speaking plainly and not figuratively.
Now we know that thou knowest all things, and hast not need that any one should demand of thee. By this we believe that thou art come from God.
Now we understand that you know everything, and there’s no need to question you. From this we believe that you came from God.”
Behold, [the] hour is coming, and has come, that ye shall be scattered, each to his own, and shall leave me alone; and [yet] I am not alone, for the Father is with me.
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.
These things have I spoken to you that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye have tribulation; but be of good courage: I have overcome the world.
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.”
