Holy Bible - Revised Standard Version(RSV)

16:1	'I have said all this to you to keep you from falling away.
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.
16:3	And they will do this because they have not known the Father, nor me.
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.
16:5	But now I am going to him who sent me;yet none of you asks me, Where are you going?'
16:6	But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts.
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.
16:8	And when he comes, he will convince the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment:
16:9	concerning sin, because they do not believe in me;
16:10	concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no more;
16:11	concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
16:12	'I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
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.
16:14	He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
16:15	All that the Father has is mine;therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
16:16	'A little while, and you will see me no more;again a little while, and you will see me.'
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'?'
16:18	They said, 'What does he mean by a little while'? We do not know what he means.'
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'?
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.
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.
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.
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.
16:24	Hitherto you have asked nothing in my name;ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
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.
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;
16:27	for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from the Father.
16:28	I came from the Father and have come into the world;again, I am leaving the world and going to the Father.'
16:29	His disciples said, 'Ah, now you are speaking plainly, not in any figure!
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.'
16:31	Jesus answered them, 'Do you now believe?
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.
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.'
