From God

Now we know that thou knowest all things, and hast no need that any one should ask thee: in this we believe that thou earnest forth from God ~John 16:30

CHAPTER 16: VERSE 1

JESUS

These things have I spoken to you
that you may not be offended.

VERSE 2

JESUS

They will put you out of the
synagogues: indeed, the hour comes
that every one that kills you will
think that he offers service to
God.

VERSE 3

JESUS

And these things will they do
because they have not known the
Father nor me.

VERSE 4

JESUS

But these things I have spoken to
you that when the hour comes you
may remember them, that I told you.
And these things I told you not
from the beginning, because I was
with you.

VERSE 5

JESUS

But now I go to him that sent me,
and no one of you asks me: Whither
goest thou?

VERSE 6

JESUS

And yet, because I have told you
these things, sorrow has filled
your heart.

VERSE 7

JESUS

But I tell you the truth, it is
profitable for you that I go away.
For if I go not away, the Advocate
will not come to you; but if I go,
I will send him to you.

VERSE 8

JESUS

And when he comes, he will convince
the world of sin, and of
righteousness, and of judgment.

VERSE 9

JESUS

Of sin indeed, because they believe
not on me;

VERSE 10

JESUS

…but of righteousness, because I
go to the Father and you see me no
more;

VERSE 11

JESUS

…but of judgment, because the
prince of this world is judged.

VERSE 12

JESUS

I have yet many things to say to
you, but you cannot bear them now;

VERSE 13

JESUS

…but when he has come, the Spirit
of truth, he shall guide you in all
the truth; for he shall not speak
of himself, but whatever he hears
he shall speak, and he shall
announce to you things to come.

VERSE 14

JESUS

He shall glorify me, for he shall
take of mine and announce it to
you.

VERSE 15

JESUS

All things whatever the Father has
are mine: therefore I said that he
takes of mine and announces to you.

VERSE 16

JESUS

A little while, and you see me no
more, and again a little while, and
you shall see me.

VERSE 17

Some of his disciples therefore said one to another:

DISCIPLES

What is this that he says to us:
A little while, and you see me not,
and again a little while, and you
shall see me? and that I go to the
Father?

VERSE 18

They said therefore:

DISCIPLES

This, what is it that he says, The
little while? We know not what he
says.

VERSE 19

Jesus knew that they desired to ask him, and he said to
them:

JESUS

Concerning this do you inquire
among yourselves because I said: A
little while, and you see me not,
and again a little while, and you
shall see me?

VERSE 20

JESUS

Verily, verily, I say to you, that
you shall weep and lament, but the
world shall rejoice: you shall be
sorrowful, but your sorrow shall
become joy.

VERSE 21

JESUS

The wife, when she is in labor, has
sorrow, because her hour has come;
but when she has brought forth the
child, she no longer remembers the
affliction for joy that a man has
been born into the world.

VERSE 22

JESUS

And you therefore now indeed have
sorrow; but I shall see you again,
and your heart shall rejoice, and
your joy no one takes from you.

VERSE 23

JESUS

And in that day, of me you shall
ask nothing. Verily, verily, I say
to you, if you ask anything of the
Father, he will give it to you in
my name.

VERSE 24

JESUS

Till now you have asked nothing in
my name: ask, and you shall
receive, that your joy may be
fulfilled.

VERSE 25

JESUS

These things I have spoken to you
in parables: the hour comes when I
will no longer speak to you in
parables, but will tell you plainly
concerning the Father.

VERSE 26

JESUS

In that day you shall ask in my
name, and 1 say not to you that I
will beseech the Father for you;

VERSE 27

JESUS

…for the Father himself loves
you, because you have loved me, and
have believed that I came forth
from God.

VERSE 28

JESUS

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

VERSE 29

His disciples say:

DISCIPLES

Behold, now thou speakest plainly,
and utterest no parable.

VERSE 30

DISCIPLES

Now we know that thou knowest all
things, and hast no need that any
one should ask thee: in this we
believe that thou earnest forth
from God.

VERSE 31

Jesus answered them:

JESUS

Do you now believe?

VERSE 32

JESUS

Behold, the hour comes, and has
come, that you shall be scattered
each one to his own and leave me
alone; and yet I am not alone, for
the Father is with me.

VERSE 33

JESUS

These things I have spoken to you
that in me you may have peace. In
the world you have affliction; but
take courage, I have overcome the
world.
