rsv John:16
rsv@John:16:1 @ "I have said all this to you to keep you from falling away.
rsv@John:16:2 @ They will put you out of the synagogues; indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God.
rsv@John:16:3 @ And they will do this because they have not known the Father, nor me.
rsv@John:16:4 @ But I have said these things to you, that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you of them. "I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you.
rsv@John:16:5 @ But now I am going to him who sent me; yet none of you asks me, `Where are you going?'
rsv@John:16:6 @ But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts.
rsv@John:16:7 @ Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
rsv@John:16:8 @ And when he comes, he will convince the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment:
rsv@John:16:9 @ concerning sin, because they do not believe in me;
rsv@John:16:10 @ concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no more;
rsv@John:16:11 @ concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
rsv@John:16:12 @ "I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
rsv@John:16:13 @ When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.
rsv@John:16:14 @ He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
rsv@John:16:15 @ All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
rsv@John:16:16 @ "A little while, and you will see me no more; again a little while, and you will see me."
rsv@John:16:17 @ Some of his disciples said to one another, "What is this that he says to 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'?"
rsv@John:16:18 @ They said, "What does he mean by `a little while'? We do not know what he means."
rsv@John:16:19 @ Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him; so he said to them, "Is this what you are asking yourselves, what I meant by saying, `A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me'?
rsv@John:16:20 @ Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy.
rsv@John:16:21 @ When a woman is in travail she has sorrow, because her hour has come; but when she is delivered of the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a child is born into the world.
rsv@John:16:22 @ So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.
rsv@John:16:23 @ In that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask anything of the Father, he will give it to you in my name.
rsv@John:16:24 @ Hitherto you have asked nothing in my name; ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
rsv@John:16:25 @ "I have said this to you in figures; the hour is coming when I shall no longer speak to you in figures but tell you plainly of the Father.
rsv@John:16:26 @ In that day you will ask in my name; and I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you;
rsv@John:16:27 @ for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from the Father.
rsv@John:16:28 @ I came from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and going to the Father."
rsv@John:16:29 @ His disciples said, "Ah, now you are speaking plainly, not in any figure!
rsv@John:16:30 @ Now we know that you know all things, and need none to question you; by this we believe that you came from God."
rsv@John:16:31 @ Jesus answered them, "Do you now believe?
rsv@John:16:32 @ The hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, every man to his home, and will leave me alone; yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.
rsv@John:16:33 @ I have said this to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
