^16:1 I have spoken to you^° these things in-order-that you^° should not be offended. ^16:2 They will be making^* you^° as one expelled from the synagogues. But the hour is coming, that^* every person, the one who killed you^°, may think as to be offering divine-service to God. ^16:3 And they will be doing^* these things to you^°, because they did not know the Father, nor me. ^16:4 But I have spoken these things to you^°, that^* whenever the hour comes, you^° may remember them, I spoke them to you^°. Now I did not say these things to you^° from the beginning, because I was with you^°. ^16:5 But now I am proceeding-away to the one who sent me, and none out-of you^° asks me, Where are you proceeding-away to? ^16:6 But because I have spoken these things to you^°, sorrow has filled your^° heart. ^16:7 But I tell you^° the truth. It is advantageous for you^° that^* I should go away; for^* if I do not go away, the Helper^* will not be coming to you^°, but if I travel on, I will be sending him to you^°. ^16:8 And after that one comes, he will be convicting the world concerning sin and concerning righteousness and concerning judgment. ^16:9 Concerning sin, indeed, because they do not believe into me; ^16:10 concerning righteousness, because I am proceeding-away to my Father and you^° view me no more; ^16:11 and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged. ^16:12 I still have many things to say to you^°, but you^° are not able to bear them now. ^16:13 But whenever that one, the Spirit of the truth, comes, he will be guiding you^° into all the truth; for^* he will not be speaking from himself, but as many things as he may hear, these he will be speaking and he will be reporting to you^° the things which are coming. ^16:14 That one will be glorifying me, because he will receive from me and will be proclaiming it to you^°. ^16:15 All things, as many things as the Father has are mine, because of this, I said, He is receiving from me and will be proclaiming it to you^°. ^16:16 A little while and you^° do not view me, and again a little while and you^° will see me, because I am proceeding-away to the Father.

      ^16:17 Therefore, some out-of his disciples said to one another, What is this thing which he says to us, A little while and you^° do not view me, and again a little while and you^° will see me. Also, Because I am proceeding-away to the Father?

      ^16:18 Therefore, they were saying, What is this thing which he says, A little while? We do not know the meaning of what he says.

      ^16:19 Therefore, Jesus knew that they were wishing to ask him, and he said to them, Are you^° debating with one another concerning this thing which I said, A little while and you^° do not view me, and again, A little while and you^° will see me?

      ^16:20 Assuredly, assuredly, I am saying to you^°, You^° will be weeping and will be mourning, but the world will rejoice. But you^° will be sorrowful, but your^° sorrow will happen leading you^° to joy. ^16:21 A woman has sorrow whenever she bears a child, because her hour came. But whenever the child is born, she remembers the affliction no more, because of the joy that a man was born into the world. ^16:22 And therefore, you^° now indeed have sorrow, but I will see you^° again and your^° heart will be rejoicing and no one takes your^° joy away from you^°. ^16:23 And you^° will not be asking me anything in that day. Assuredly, assuredly, I am saying to you^°, As many things as you^° would ask the Father in my name, he will be giving them to you^°. ^16:24 Until now you^° asked for nothing in my name. Ask^° and you^° will receive, in-order-that your^° joy may be fulfilled.

      ^16:25 I have spoken these things to you^° in metaphors, but the hour is coming, when I will no more be speaking to you^° in metaphors, but will be proclaiming to you^° frankly concerning the Father. ^16:26 You^° will be asking in that day, in my name and I do not say to you^°, I will request of the Father concerning you^°; ^16:27 for^* the Father himself loves you^°, because you^° have loved me and have believed that I came forth from God. ^16:28 I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and I am traveling on to the Father.

      ^16:29 Then his disciples say to him, Behold, now you speak frankly and are not speaking in a metaphor. ^16:30 Now we know that you know all things and do not have need that^* anyone should ask you. In this, we believe that you came forth from God.

      ^16:31 Jesus answered them, Do you^° believe now? ^16:32 Behold, the hour is coming and has now come, in-order-that you^° might be scattered, each one to his own and you^° may leave me alone and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. ^16:33 I have spoken to you^° these things in-order-that you^° may have peace in me. You^° have affliction in the world, but have^° courage; I have overcome the world.
