John:16-18
Seeker Overlay ON
*
These things have I spoken unto you ,
that ye should not be offended .
*
They shall put you out of the synagogues :
yea ,
the time cometh ,
that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service .
*
And these things will they do unto you ,
because they have not known the Father ,
nor me .
*
But these things have I told you ,
that when the time shall come ,
ye may remember that I told you of them .
And these things I said not unto you at the beginning ,
because I was with you .
*
But now I go my way to him that sent me ;
and none of you asketh me ,
Whither goest thou ?
*
But because I have said these things unto you ,
sorrow hath filled your heart .
*
Nevertheless I tell you the truth ;
It is expedient for you that I go away :
for if I go not away ,
the Comforter will not come unto you ;
but if I depart ,
I will send him unto you .
*
And when he is come ,
he will reprove the world of sin ,
and of righteousness ,
and of judgment :
*
Of sin ,
because they believe not on me ;
*
Of righteousness ,
because I go to my Father ,
and ye see me no more ;
*
Of judgment ,
because the prince of this world is judged .
*
I have yet many things to say unto you ,
but ye cannot bear them now .
*
Howbeit when he ,
the Spirit of truth ,
is come ,
he will guide you into all truth :
for he shall not speak of himself ;
but whatsoever he shall hear ,
that shall he speak :
and he will shew you things to come .
*
He shall glorify me :
for he shall receive of mine ,
and shall shew it unto you .
*
All things that the Father hath are mine :
therefore said I ,
that he shall take of mine ,
and shall shew it unto you .
*
A little while ,
and ye shall not see me :
and again ,
a little while ,
and ye shall see me ,
because I go to the Father .
*
Then said some of his disciples among themselves ,
What is this that he saith unto us ,
A little while ,
and ye shall not see me :
and again ,
a little while ,
and ye shall see me :
and ,
Because I go to the Father ?
*
They said therefore ,
What is this that he saith ,
A little while ?
we cannot tell what he saith .
*
Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him ,
and said unto them ,
Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said ,
A little while ,
and ye shall not see me :
and again ,
a little while ,
and ye shall see me ?
*
Verily ,
verily ,
I say unto you ,
That ye shall weep and lament ,
but the world shall rejoice :
and ye shall be sorrowful ,
but your sorrow shall be turned into joy .
*
A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow ,
because her hour is come :
but as soon as she is delivered of the child ,
she remembereth no more the anguish ,
for joy that a man is born into the world .
*
And ye now therefore have sorrow :
but I will see you again ,
and your heart shall rejoice ,
and your joy no man taketh from you .
*
And in that day ye shall ask me nothing .
Verily ,
verily ,
I say unto you ,
Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name ,
he will give it you .
*
Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name :
ask ,
and ye shall receive ,
that your joy may be full .
*
These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs :
but the time cometh ,
when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs ,
but I shall shew you plainly of the Father .
*
At that day ye shall ask in my name :
and I say not unto you ,
that I will pray the Father for you :
*
For the Father himself loveth you ,
because ye have loved me ,
and have believed that I came out from God .
*
I came forth from the Father ,
and am come into the world :
again ,
I leave the world ,
and go to the Father .
*
His disciples said unto him ,
Lo ,
now speakest thou plainly ,
and speakest no proverb .
*
Now are we sure that thou knowest all things ,
and needest not that any man should ask thee :
by this we believe that thou camest forth from God .
*
Jesus answered them ,
Do ye now believe ?
*
Behold ,
the hour cometh ,
yea ,
is now come ,
that ye shall be scattered ,
every man to his own ,
and shall leave me alone :
and yet I am not alone ,
because the Father is with me .
*
These things I have spoken unto you ,
that in me ye might have peace .
In the world ye shall have tribulation :
but be of good cheer ;
I have overcome the world .
*
These words spake Jesus ,
and lifted up his eyes to heaven ,
and said ,
Father ,
the hour is come ;
glorify thy Son ,
that thy Son also may glorify thee :
*
As thou hast given him power over all flesh ,
that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him .
*
And this is life eternal ,
that they might know thee the only true God ,
and Jesus Christ ,
whom thou hast sent .
*
I have glorified thee on the earth :
I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do .
*
And now ,
O Father ,
glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was .
*
I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world :
thine they were ,
and thou gavest them me ;
and they have kept thy word .
*
Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee .
*
For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me ;
and they have received them ,
and have known surely that I came out from thee ,
and they have believed that thou didst send me .
*
I pray for them :
I pray not for the world ,
but for them which thou hast given me ;
for they are thine .
*
And all mine are thine ,
and thine are mine ;
and I am glorified in them .
*
And now I am no more in the world ,
but these are in the world ,
and I come to thee .
Holy Father ,
keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me ,
that they may be one ,
as we are .
*
While I was with them in the world ,
I kept them in thy name :
those that thou gavest me I have kept ,
and none of them is lost ,
but the son of perdition ;
that the scripture might be fulfilled .
*
And now come I to thee ;
and these things I speak in the world ,
that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves .
*
I have given them thy word ;
and the world hath hated them ,
because they are not of the world ,
even as I am not of the world .
*
I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world ,
but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil .
*
They are not of the world ,
even as I am not of the world .
*
Sanctify them through thy truth :
thy word is truth .
*
As thou hast sent me into the world ,
even so have I also sent them into the world .
*
And for their sakes I sanctify myself ,
that they also might be sanctified through the truth .
*
Neither pray I for these alone ,
but for them also which shall believe on me through their word ;
*
That they all may be one ;
as thou ,
Father ,
art in me ,
and I in thee ,
that they also may be one in us :
that the world may believe that thou hast sent me .
*
And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them ;
that they may be one ,
even as we are one :
*
I in them ,
and thou in me ,
that they may be made perfect in one ;
and that the world may know that thou hast sent me ,
and hast loved them ,
as thou hast loved me .
*
Father ,
I will that they also ,
whom thou hast given me ,
be with me where I am ;
that they may behold my glory ,
which thou hast given me :
for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world .
*
O righteous Father ,
the world hath not known thee :
but I have known thee ,
and these have known that thou hast sent me .
*
And I have declared unto them thy name ,
and will declare it :
that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them ,
and I in them .
*
When Jesus had spoken these words ,
he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron ,
where was a garden ,
into the which he entered ,
and his disciples .
*
And Judas also ,
which betrayed him ,
knew the place :
for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples .
*
Judas then ,
having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees ,
cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons .
*
Jesus therefore ,
knowing all things that should come upon him ,
went forth ,
and said unto them ,
Whom seek ye ?
*
They answered him ,
Jesus of Nazareth .
Jesus saith unto them ,
I am he .
And Judas also ,
which betrayed him ,
stood with them .
*
As soon then as he had said unto them ,
I am he ,
they went backward ,
and fell to the ground .
*
Then asked he them again ,
Whom seek ye ?
And they said ,
Jesus of Nazareth .
*
Jesus answered ,
I have told you that I am he :
if therefore ye seek me ,
let these go their way :
*
That the saying might be fulfilled ,
which he spake ,
Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none .
*
Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it ,
and smote the high priest '
s servant ,
and cut off his right ear .
The servant '
s name was Malchus .
*
Then said Jesus unto Peter ,
Put up thy sword into the sheath :
the cup which my Father hath given me ,
shall I not drink it ?
*
Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus ,
and bound him ,
*
And led him away to Annas first ;
for he was father in law to Caiaphas ,
which was the high priest that same year .
*
Now Caiaphas was he ,
which gave counsel to the Jews ,
that it was expedient that one man should die for the people .
*
And Simon Peter followed Jesus ,
and so did another disciple :
that disciple was known unto the high priest ,
and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest .
*
But Peter stood at the door without .
Then went out that other disciple ,
which was known unto the high priest ,
and spake unto her that kept the door ,
and brought in Peter .
*
Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter ,
Art not thou also one of this man '
s disciples ?
He saith ,
I am not .
*
And the servants and officers stood there ,
who had made a fire of coals ;
for it was cold :
and they warmed themselves :
and Peter stood with them ,
and warmed himself .
*
The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples ,
and of his doctrine .
*
Jesus answered him ,
I spake openly to the world ;
I ever taught in the synagogue ,
and in the temple ,
whither the Jews always resort ;
and in secret have I said nothing .
*
Why askest thou me ?
ask them which heard me ,
what I have said unto them :
behold ,
they know what I said .
*
And when he had thus spoken ,
one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand ,
saying ,
Answerest thou the high priest so ?
*
Jesus answered him ,
If I have spoken evil ,
bear witness of the evil :
but if well ,
why smitest thou me ?
*
Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest .
*
And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself .
They said therefore unto him ,
Art not thou also one of his disciples ?
He denied it ,
and said ,
I am not .
*
One of the servants of the high priest ,
being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off ,
saith ,
Did not I see thee in the garden with him ?
*
Peter then denied again :
and immediately the cock crew .
*
Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment :
and it was early ;
and they themselves went not into the judgment hall ,
lest they should be defiled ;
but that they might eat the passover .
*
Pilate then went out unto them ,
and said ,
What accusation bring ye against this man ?
*
They answered and said unto him ,
If he were not a malefactor ,
we would not have delivered him up unto thee .
*
Then said Pilate unto them ,
Take ye him ,
and judge him according to your law .
The Jews therefore said unto him ,
It is not lawful for us to put any man to death :
*
That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled ,
which he spake ,
signifying what death he should die .
*
Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again ,
and called Jesus ,
and said unto him ,
Art thou the King of the Jews ?
*
Jesus answered him ,
Sayest thou this thing of thyself ,
or did others tell it thee of me ?
*
Pilate answered ,
Am I a Jew ?
Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me :
what hast thou done ?
*
Jesus answered ,
My kingdom is not of this world :
if my kingdom were of this world ,
then would my servants fight ,
that I should not be delivered to the Jews :
but now is my kingdom not from hence .
*
Pilate therefore said unto him ,
Art thou a king then ?
Jesus answered ,
Thou sayest that I am a king .
To this end was I born ,
and for this cause came I into the world ,
that I should bear witness unto the truth .
Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice .
*
Pilate saith unto him ,
What is truth ?
And when he had said this ,
he went out again unto the Jews ,
and saith unto them ,
I find in him no fault at all .
*
But ye have a custom ,
that I should release unto you one at the passover :
will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews ?
*
Then cried they all again ,
saying ,
Not this man ,
but Barabbas .
Now Barabbas was a robber .
*
Then Pilate therefore took Jesus ,
and scourged him .
