16  Þetta hef ég talað til yðar, svo að þér fallið ekki frá.

Þeir munu gjöra yður samkunduræka. Já, sú stund kemur, að hver sem líflætur yður þykist veita Guði þjónustu.

Þetta munu þeir gjöra, af því þeir þekkja hvorki föðurinn né mig.

Þetta hef ég talað til yðar, til þess að þér minnist þess, að ég sagði yður það, þegar stund þeirra kemur. Ég hef ekki sagt yður þetta frá öndverðu, af því ég var með yður.

En nú fer ég til hans, sem sendi mig, og enginn yðar spyr mig: ,Hvert fer þú?`

En hryggð hefur fyllt hjarta yðar, af því að ég sagði yður þetta.

En ég segi yður sannleikann: Það er yður til góðs, að ég fari burt, því ef ég fer ekki, kemur hjálparinn ekki til yðar. En ef ég fer, sendi ég hann til yðar.

Þegar hann kemur, mun hann sanna heiminum, hvað er synd og réttlæti og dómur, _

syndin er, að þeir trúðu ekki á mig,

10 réttlætið, að ég fer til föðurins, og þér sjáið mig ekki lengur,

11 og dómurinn, að höfðingi þessa heims er dæmdur.

12 Enn hef ég margt að segja yður, en þér getið ekki borið það nú.

13 En þegar hann kemur, andi sannleikans, mun hann leiða yður í allan sannleikann. Hann mun ekki mæla af sjálfum sér, heldur mun hann tala það, sem hann heyrir, og kunngjöra yður það, sem koma á.

14 Hann mun gjöra mig dýrlegan, því af mínu mun hann taka og kunngjöra yður.

15 Allt sem faðirinn á, er mitt. Því sagði ég, að hann tæki af mínu og kunngjörði yður.

16 Innan skamms sjáið þér mig ekki lengur, og aftur innan skamms munuð þér sjá mig."

17 Þá sögðu nokkrir lærisveina hans sín á milli: "Hvað er hann að segja við oss: 'Innan skamms sjáið þér mig ekki, og aftur innan skamms munuð þér sjá mig,' og: 'Ég fer til föðurins'?"

18 Þeir spurðu: "Hvað merkir þetta: ,Innan skamms`? Vér vitum ekki, hvað hann er að fara."

19 Jesús vissi, að þeir vildu spyrja hann, og sagði við þá: "Eruð þér að spyrjast á um það, að ég sagði: ,Innan skamms sjáið þér mig ekki, og aftur innan skamms munuð þér sjá mig`?

20 Sannlega, sannlega segi ég yður: Þér munuð gráta og kveina, en heimurinn mun fagna. Þér munuð verða hryggir, en hryggð yðar mun snúast í fögnuð.

21 Þegar konan fæðir, er hún í nauð, því stund hennar er komin. Þegar hún hefur alið barnið, minnist hún ekki framar þrauta sinna af fögnuði yfir því, að maður er í heiminn borinn.

22 Eins eruð þér nú hryggir, en ég mun sjá yður aftur, og hjarta yðar mun fagna, og enginn tekur fögnuð yðar frá yður.

23 Á þeim degi munuð þér ekki spyrja mig neins. Sannlega, sannlega segi ég yður: Hvað sem þér biðjið föðurinn um í mínu nafni, mun hann veita yður.

24 Hingað til hafið þér einskis beðið í mínu nafni. Biðjið, og þér munuð öðlast, svo að fögnuður yðar verði fullkominn.

25 Þetta hef ég sagt yður í líkingum. Sú stund kemur, að ég tala ekki framar við yður í líkingum, heldur mun ég berum orðum segja yður frá föðurnum.

26 Á þeim degi munuð þér biðja í mínu nafni. Ég segi yður ekki, að ég muni biðja föðurinn fyrir yður,

27 því sjálfur elskar faðirinn yður, þar eð þér hafið elskað mig og trúað, að ég sé frá Guði út genginn.

28 Ég er út genginn frá föðurnum og kominn í heiminn. Ég yfirgef heiminn aftur og fer til föðurins."

29 Lærisveinar hans sögðu: "Nú talar þú berum orðum og mælir enga líking.

30 Nú vitum vér, að þú veist allt og þarft eigi, að nokkur spyrji þig. Þess vegna trúum vér, að þú sért út genginn frá Guði."

31 Jesús svaraði þeim: "Trúið þér nú?

32 Sjá, sú stund kemur og er komin, að þér tvístrist hver til sín og skiljið mig einan eftir. Þó er ég ekki einn, því faðirinn er með mér.

33 Þetta hef ég talað við yður, svo að þér eigið frið í mér. Í heiminum hafið þér þrenging. En verið hughraustir. Ég hef sigrað heiminn."

16 “All this(A) I have told you so that you will not fall away.(B) They will put you out of the synagogue;(C) in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God.(D) They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me.(E) I have told you this, so that when their time comes you will remember(F) that I warned you about them. I did not tell you this from the beginning because I was with you,(G) but now I am going to him who sent me.(H) None of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’(I) Rather, you are filled with grief(J) because I have said these things. But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate(K) will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.(L) When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: about sin,(M) because people do not believe in me; 10 about righteousness,(N) because I am going to the Father,(O) where you can see me no longer; 11 and about judgment, because the prince of this world(P) now stands condemned.

12 “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.(Q) 13 But when he, the Spirit of truth,(R) comes, he will guide you into all the truth.(S) He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14 He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. 15 All that belongs to the Father is mine.(T) That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”

The Disciples’ Grief Will Turn to Joy

16 Jesus went on to say, “In a little while(U) you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me.”(V)

17 At this, some of his disciples said to one another, “What does he mean by saying, ‘In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me,’(W) and ‘Because I am going to the Father’?”(X) 18 They kept asking, “What does he mean by ‘a little while’? We don’t understand what he is saying.”

19 Jesus saw that they wanted to ask him about this, so he said to them, “Are you asking one another what I meant when I said, ‘In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me’? 20 Very truly I tell you, you will weep and mourn(Y) while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.(Z) 21 A woman giving birth to a child has pain(AA) because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world. 22 So with you: Now is your time of grief,(AB) but I will see you again(AC) and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.(AD) 23 In that day(AE) you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.(AF) 24 Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive,(AG) and your joy will be complete.(AH)

25 “Though I have been speaking figuratively,(AI) a time is coming(AJ) when I will no longer use this kind of language but will tell you plainly about my Father. 26 In that day you will ask in my name.(AK) I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf. 27 No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me(AL) and have believed that I came from God.(AM) 28 I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.”(AN)

29 Then Jesus’ disciples said, “Now you are speaking clearly and without figures of speech.(AO) 30 Now we can see that you know all things and that you do not even need to have anyone ask you questions. This makes us believe(AP) that you came from God.”(AQ)

31 “Do you now believe?” Jesus replied. 32 “A time is coming(AR) and in fact has come when you will be scattered,(AS) each to your own home. You will leave me all alone.(AT) Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me.(AU)

33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace.(AV) In this world you will have trouble.(AW) But take heart! I have overcome(AX) the world.”

16 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;

10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

13 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.

14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

16 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.

17 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?

18 They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.

19 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?

20 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.

21 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.

22 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.

23 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.

24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

25 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.

26 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:

27 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.

28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.

29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.

30 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.

31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?

32 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.

33 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.
