16:1	"These things I have spoken to you, that you may be kept from stumbling.
16:2	"They will make you outcasts from the synagogue, but an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering service to God.
16:3	"And these things they will do, because they have not known the Father, or Me.
16:4	"But these things I have spoken to you, that when their hour comes, you may remember that I told you of them. And these things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you.
16:5	"But now I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, 'Where are You going?'
16:6	"But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.
16:7	"But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper shall not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.
16:8	"And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin, and righteousness, and judgment;
16:9	concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me;
16:10	and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you no longer behold Me;
16:11	and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
16:12	"I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear [them] now.
16:13	"But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.
16:14	"He shall glorify Me; for He shall take of Mine, and shall disclose [it] to you.
16:15	"All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said, that He takes of Mine, and will disclose [it] to you.
16:16	"A little while, and you will no longer behold Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me."
16:17	[Some] of His disciples therefore said to one another, "What is this thing He is telling us, 'A little while, and you will not behold Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me'; and, 'because I go to the Father '?"
16:18	And so they were saying, "What is this that He says, 'A little while '? We do not know what He is talking about."
16:19	Jesus knew that they wished to question Him, and He said to them, "Are you deliberating together about this, that I said, 'A little while, and you will not behold Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me'?
16:20	"Truly, truly, I say to you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned to joy.
16:21	"Whenever a woman is in travail she has sorrow, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she remembers the anguish no more, for joy that a child has been born into the world.
16:22	"Therefore you too now have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one takes your joy away from you.
16:23	"And in that day you will ask Me no question. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you shall ask the Father for anything, He will give it to you in My name.
16:24	"Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.
16:25	"These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; an hour is coming when I will speak no more to you in figurative language, but will tell you plainly of the Father.
16:26	"In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I will request the Father on your behalf;
16:27	for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from the Father.
16:28	"I came forth from the Father, and have come into the world; I am leaving the world again, and going to the Father."
16:29	His disciples said, "Lo, now You are speaking plainly, and are not using a figure of speech.
16:30	"Now we know that You know all things, and have no need for anyone to question You; by this we believe that You came from God."
16:31	Jesus answered them, "Do you now believe?
16:32	"Behold, an hour is coming, and has [already] come, for you to be scattered, each to his own [home], and to leave Me alone; and [yet] I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.
16:33	"These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world."
