* These things , have I spoken unto you , that ye may not be caused to stumble : * Excommunicants from the synagogue , will they make you ; Nay ! there cometh an hour , that , every one who killeth you , shall think to be rendering , divine service , unto God ! * And , these things , will they do , because they got to know , neither the Father nor me . * But , these things , have I told you , That , whensoever their hour shall come , ye may remember , that , thereof , I told you . These things , however , I told you not , from the beginning , because I was , with you ; * But , now , I go my way unto him that sent me , and , not one from among you , questioneth me Whither goest thou ? * But , because , these things , I have told you , sorrow , hath filled your heart . * But , I , the truth , am telling you It is profitable for you , that , I , depart ; for , if I should not depart , The Advocate , would in nowise come unto you , but , if I go , I will send him unto you . * And , having come , He , will reprove the world Concerning sin , and concerning righteousness , and concerning judgment : * Concerning sin , indeed , because they are not believing on me ; * But , concerning righteousness , because , unto the Father , I go my way , and , no longer , do ye behold me ; * And , concerning judgment , because , the ruler of this world , hath been judged . * Yet many things , have I , unto you , to be saying , but ye cannot bear them , just now ; * Howbeit , as soon as , he , hath come The Spirit of truth , he will guide you into all truth ; for he will not speak from himself , but , whatsoever he heareth , he will speak , and , the coming things , will he announce unto you . * He , shall glorify me ; for , of mine , shall he receive , and announce unto you . * All things , whatsoever the Father hath , are , my own ; therefore , said IOf mine , shall he receive , and announce unto you . * A little while , and , no longer , ye behold me ; and , again a little while , and ye shall see me . * Some of his disciples , therefore , said one to another What is this which he is saying to us : A little while , and ye behold me not , and , again a little while , and ye shall see me ; and Because I go my way unto the Father ? * They were saying , therefore What is this which he saith : A little while ? We know not what he is saying . * Jesus took note , that they were wishing to question him , and said unto them Concerning this , are ye enquiring one with another , because I said : A little while , and ye behold me not , and , again , a little while , and ye shall see me ? * Verily , verily , I say unto you Ye , shall weep and lament , but , the world , shall rejoice : Ye , shall be grieved , but , your grief , into joy , shall be turned . * A woman , as soon as she is about to bring forth , hath , grief , because her hour hath come ; but , as soon as she hath given birth to the child , no longer , remembereth she the anguish , by reason of the joy , that a human being into the world hath been born . * And , ye , therefore , now , indeed have grief ; but , again , will I see you , and your heart shall rejoice , and , your joy , no one , shall force from you . * And , in that day , shall ye request me , nothing : Verily , verily , I say unto you Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father , He will give you , in my name . * Until even now , ye have asked nothing in my name : Be asking , and ye shall receive , that , your joy , may be made full . * These things , in similitudes , have I spoken unto you : There cometh an hour , when , no longer in similitudes , will I speak unto you , but , openly , concerning the Father , will I tell you . * In that day , In my name , shall ye ask : and I say not that , I , will request the Father for you ; * For , the Father himself , dearly loveth you , because , ye , have dearly loved me , and believed that , I , from the Father , came forth : * I came forth out of the Father , and have come into the world , Again , I leave the world , and go , unto the Father . * His disciples say See ! now , openly , art thou speaking , and , not a single similitude , art thou using : * Now , we know , that thou knowest all things , and hast , no need , that one be questioning thee . Hereby , do we believe , that , from God , thou camest forth . * Jesus answered them As yet , ye believe : * Lo ! there cometh an hour , and hath come , that ye should be scattered , each , unto his own home ; and , me , alone , should leave ; And yet I am not , alone , but , the Father , is , with me ! * These things , have I spoken unto you , that , in me , ye may have , peace : In the world , ye have , tribulation ; but be taking courage , I , have overcome the world .
