1These things I tell you, that you may not be discouraged. 2They will expel you from the synagogue; nay, the time is coming, when, whosoever kills you, will think he offers sacrifice to God. 3And these things they will do, because they know not the Father nor me. 4Of these things I warn you now, that when the time shall come, you may remember that I mentioned them to you. I did not, indeed, mention them at the beginning, because I was with you myself. 5And now I go away to him who sent me; yet none of you ask me, Whither do you go? 6But because of those things which I have foretold you, you are overwhelmed with grief. 7Nevertheless, I tell you the truth; it is for your good that I depart; for if I do not depart, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go away, I will send him to you. 8And when he is come, he will convince the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment: 9concerning sin, because they believe not on me; 10concerning righteousness because I go to my Father, and you see me no longer; 11concerning judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. 12I have many things still to tell you, but you can not yet bear them. 13But when the Spirit of Truth is come, he will conduct you into all the truth: for his words will not proceed from himself: but whatsoever he shall have heard, he will speak, and show you things to come. 14He will glorify me: for he will take of mine and communicate to you. 15Whatsoever is the Father's, is mine; therefore, I say that he will take of mine to communicate to you. 16A little while you shall not see me; a little while after, you shall see me; because I go to the Father. 17Some of the disciples said among themselves, What does he mean by this; a little while you shall not see me; a little while after, you shall see me; because I go to the Father? 18What means this little while, of which he speaks? We do not comprehend it. 19Jesus perceiving that they were desirous to ask him, said to them, Do you inquire among yourselves about this that I said, A little while you shall not see me; a little while after, you shall see me? 20Most assuredly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice: you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. 21A woman in travail has sorrow, because her hour is come. But when her son is born, she remembers her anguish no longer; for joy that she has brought a man into the world. 22So, you, at present, are in grief; but I will visit you again, and your hearts shall be joyful, and none shall rob you of your joy. 23On that day, you will put no questions to me. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatsoever you shall ask the Father, in my name, he will give you. 24Hitherto you have asked nothing in my name; ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be complete. 25These things I have spoken to you in figures: the time approaches when I shall no more discourse to you in figures, but instruct you plainly concerning the Father. 26The you will ask in my name, and I say not, that I will entreat the Father for you: 27for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and believed that I came from God. 28From the presence of the Father I cam into the world. Again, I leave the world, and return to the Father. 29His disciples replied, Now, indeed, you speak plainly, and without a figure. 30Now we are convinced that you know all things, and need not that any should put questions to you. By this we believe that you came forth from God. 31Jesus answered, Do you now believe? 32Behold, the time comes, or rather is come, when you shall disperse, every one to his own, and shall leave me alone; yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. 33These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take courage! I have overcome the world.
