John 11-16

New King James Version

The Death of Lazarus

11 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of ^(A)Mary and her sister Martha. ^2 (B)It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with fragrant oil and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. ³ Therefore the sisters sent to Him, saying, “Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick.”

⁴ When Jesus heard that, He said, “This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”

⁵ Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. ⁶ So, when He heard that he was sick, ^(C)He stayed two more days in the place where He was. ⁷ Then after this He said to the disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.”

⁸ The disciples said to Him, “Rabbi, lately the Jews sought to ^(D)stone You, and are You going there again?”

⁹ Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? ^(E)If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the ^(F)light of this world. ¹⁰ But ^(G)if one walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.” ¹¹ These things He said, and after that He said to them, “Our friend Lazarus ^(H)sleeps, but I go that I may wake him up.”

¹² Then His disciples said, “Lord, if he sleeps he will get well.” ¹³ However, Jesus spoke of his death, but they thought that He was speaking about taking rest in sleep.

¹⁴ Then Jesus said to them plainly, “Lazarus is dead. ¹⁵ And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, that you may believe. Nevertheless let us go to him.”

¹⁶ Then ^(I)Thomas, who is called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with Him.”

I Am the Resurrection and the Life

¹⁷ So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days. ¹⁸ Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about ^[a]two miles away. ¹⁹ And many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

²⁰ Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met Him, but Mary was sitting in the house. ²¹ Now Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died. ²² But even now I know that ^(J)whatever You ask of God, God will give You.”

²³ Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”

²⁴ Martha said to Him, ^(K)“I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

²⁵ Jesus said to her, “I am ^(L)the resurrection and the life. ^(M)He who believes in Me, though he may ^(N)die, he shall live. ²⁶ And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”

²⁷ She said to Him, “Yes, Lord, ^(O)I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”

Jesus and Death, the Last Enemy

²⁸ And when she had said these things, she went her way and secretly called Mary her sister, saying, “The Teacher has come and is calling for you.” ²⁹ As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly and came to Him. ³⁰ Now Jesus had not yet come into the town, but ^[b]was in the place where Martha met Him. ^31 (P)Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and comforting her, when they saw that Mary rose up quickly and went out, followed her, ^[c]saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”

³² Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, and saw Him, she ^(Q)fell down at His feet, saying to Him, ^(R)“Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.”

³³ Therefore, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled. ³⁴ And He said, “Where have you laid him?”

They said to Him, “Lord, come and see.”

^35 (S)Jesus wept. ³⁶ Then the Jews said, “See how He loved him!”

³⁷ And some of them said, “Could not this Man, ^(T)who opened the eyes of the blind, also have kept this man from dying?”

Lazarus Raised from the Dead

³⁸ Then Jesus, again groaning in Himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a ^(U)stone lay against it. ³⁹ Jesus said, “Take away the stone.”

Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.”

⁴⁰ Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would ^(V)see the glory of God?” ⁴¹ Then they took away the stone ^[d]from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. ⁴² And I know that You always hear Me, but ^(W)because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me.” ⁴³ Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!” ⁴⁴ And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with ^(X)graveclothes, and ^(Y)his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Loose him, and let him go.”

The Plot to Kill Jesus^(Z)

⁴⁵ Then many of the Jews who had come to Mary, ^(AA)and had seen the things Jesus did, believed in Him. ⁴⁶ But some of them went away to the Pharisees and ^(AB)told them the things Jesus did. ^47 (AC)Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council and said, ^(AD)“What shall we do? For this Man works many signs. ⁴⁸ If we let Him alone like this, everyone will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and nation.”

⁴⁹ And one of them, ^(AE)Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all, ^50 (AF)nor do you consider that it is expedient for ^[e]us that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation should perish.” ⁵¹ Now this he did not say on his own authority; but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation, ⁵² and ^(AG)not for that nation only, but ^(AH)also that He would gather together in one the children of God who were scattered abroad.

⁵³ Then, from that day on, they plotted to ^(AI)put Him to death. ^54 (AJ)Therefore Jesus no longer walked openly among the Jews, but went from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called ^(AK)Ephraim, and there remained with His disciples.

^55 (AL)And the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went from the country up to Jerusalem before the Passover, to ^(AM)purify themselves. ^56 (AN)Then they sought Jesus, and spoke among themselves as they stood in the temple, “What do you think—that He will not come to the feast?” ⁵⁷ Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if anyone knew where He was, he should report it, that they might ^(AO)seize Him.

The Anointing at Bethany^(AP)

12 Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, ^(AQ)where Lazarus was ^[f]who had been dead, whom He had raised from the dead. ^2 (AR)There they made Him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Him. ³ Then ^(AS)Mary took a pound of very costly oil of ^(AT)spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.

⁴ But one of His disciples, ^(AU)Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who would betray Him, said, ⁵ “Why was this fragrant oil not sold for ^[g]three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” ⁶ This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and ^(AV)had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it.

⁷ But Jesus said, “Let her alone; ^[h]she has kept this for the day of My burial. ⁸ For ^(AW)the poor you have with you always, but Me you do not have always.”

The Plot to Kill Lazarus

⁹ Now a great many of the Jews knew that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, ^(AX)whom He had raised from the dead. ^10 (AY)But the chief priests plotted to put Lazarus to death also, ^11 (AZ)because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.

The Triumphal Entry^(BA)

^12 (BB)The next day a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, ¹³ took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, and cried out:

^14 (BD)Then Jesus, when He had found a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written:

^16 (BF)His disciples did not understand these things at first; ^(BG)but when Jesus was glorified, ^(BH)then they remembered that these things were written about Him and that they had done these things to Him.

¹⁷ Therefore the people, who were with Him when He called Lazarus out of his tomb and raised him from the dead, bore witness. ^18 (BI)For this reason the people also met Him, because they heard that He had done this sign. ¹⁹ The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, ^(BJ)“You see that you are accomplishing nothing. Look, the world has gone after Him!”

The Fruitful Grain of Wheat

²⁰ Now there ^(BK)were certain Greeks among those ^(BL)who came up to worship at the feast. ²¹ Then they came to Philip, ^(BM)who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.”

²² Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus.

²³ But Jesus answered them, saying, ^(BN)“The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified. ²⁴ Most assuredly, I say to you, ^(BO)unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much ^[i]grain. ^25 (BP)He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. ²⁶ If anyone serves Me, let him ^(BQ)follow Me; and ^(BR)where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.

Jesus Predicts His Death on the Cross

^27 (BS)“Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? ^(BT)But for this purpose I came to this hour. ²⁸ Father, glorify Your name.”

^(BU)Then a voice came from heaven, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.”

²⁹ Therefore the people who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to Him.”

³⁰ Jesus answered and said, ^(BV)“This voice did not come because of Me, but for your sake. ³¹ Now is the judgment of this world; now ^(BW)the ruler of this world will be cast out. ³² And I, ^(BX)if I am ^[j]lifted up from the earth, will draw ^(BY)all peoples to Myself.” ^33 (BZ)This He said, signifying by what death He would die.

³⁴ The people answered Him, ^(CA)“We have heard from the law that the Christ remains forever; and how can You say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”

³⁵ Then Jesus said to them, “A little while longer ^(CB)the light is with you. ^(CC)Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; ^(CD)he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going. ³⁶ While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become ^(CE)sons of light.” These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and ^(CF)was hidden from them.

Who Has Believed Our Report?

³⁷ But although He had done so many ^(CG)signs before them, they did not believe in Him, ³⁸ that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke:

³⁹ Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again:

^41 (CK)These things Isaiah said ^[k]when he saw His glory and spoke of Him.

Walk in the Light

⁴² Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him, but ^(CL)because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; ^43 (CM)for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

⁴⁴ Then Jesus cried out and said, ^(CN)“He who believes in Me, ^(CO)believes not in Me ^(CP)but in Him who sent Me. ⁴⁵ And ^(CQ)he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me. ^46 (CR)I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness. ⁴⁷ And if anyone hears My words and does not ^[l]believe, ^(CS)I do not judge him; for ^(CT)I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. ^48 (CU)He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—^(CV)the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day. ⁴⁹ For ^(CW)I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, ^(CX)what I should say and what I should speak. ⁵⁰ And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I ^(CY)speak.”

Jesus Washes the Disciples’ Feet

13 Now ^(CZ)before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that ^(DA)His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He ^(DB)loved them to the end.

² And ^[m]supper being ended, ^(DC)the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Him, ³ Jesus, knowing ^(DD)that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He ^(DE)had come from God and ^(DF)was going to God, ^4 (DG)rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself. ⁵ After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded. ⁶ Then He came to Simon Peter. And Peter said to Him, ^(DH)“Lord, are You washing my feet?”

⁷ Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing you ^(DI)do not understand now, ^(DJ)but you will know after this.”

⁸ Peter said to Him, “You shall never wash my feet!”

Jesus answered him, ^(DK)“If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me.”

⁹ Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!”

¹⁰ Jesus said to him, “He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and ^(DL)you are clean, but not all of you.” ¹¹ For ^(DM)He knew who would betray Him; therefore He said, “You are not all clean.”

¹² So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, “Do you ^[n]know what I have done to you? ^13 (DN)You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. ^14 (DO)If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, ^(DP)you also ought to wash one another’s feet. ¹⁵ For ^(DQ)I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. ^16 (DR)Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. ^17 (DS)If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

Jesus Identifies His Betrayer^(DT)

¹⁸ “I do not speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but that the ^(DU)Scripture may be fulfilled, ^(DV)‘He who eats ^[o]bread with Me has lifted up his heel against Me.’ ^19 (DW)Now I tell you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe that I am He. ^20 (DX)Most assuredly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.”

^21 (DY)When Jesus had said these things, ^(DZ)He was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, ^(EA)one of you will betray Me.” ²² Then the disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom He spoke.

²³ Now ^(EB)there was ^[p]leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved. ²⁴ Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to ask who it was of whom He spoke.

²⁵ Then, leaning ^[q]back on Jesus’ breast, he said to Him, “Lord, who is it?”

²⁶ Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it.” And having dipped the bread, He gave it to ^(EC)Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. ^27 (ED)Now after the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.” ²⁸ But no one at the table knew for what reason He said this to him. ²⁹ For some thought, because ^(EE)Judas had the money box, that Jesus had said to him, “Buy those things we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor.

³⁰ Having received the piece of bread, he then went out immediately. And it was night.

The New Commandment

³¹ So, when he had gone out, Jesus said, ^(EF)“Now the Son of Man is glorified, and ^(EG)God is glorified in Him. ³² If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and ^(EH)glorify Him immediately. ³³ Little children, I shall be with you a ^(EI)little while longer. You will seek Me; ^(EJ)and as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come,’ so now I say to you. ^34 (EK)A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. ^35 (EL)By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

³⁶ Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, where are You going?”

Jesus answered him, “Where I ^(EM)am going you cannot follow Me now, but ^(EN)you shall follow Me afterward.”

³⁷ Peter said to Him, “Lord, why can I not follow You now? I will ^(EO)lay down my life for Your sake.”

³⁸ Jesus answered him, “Will you lay down your life for My sake? Most assuredly, I say to you, the rooster shall not ^(EP)crow till you have denied Me three times.

The Way, the Truth, and the Life

14 “Let ^(EQ)not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. ² In My Father’s house are many ^[r]mansions; if it were not so, ^[s]I would have told you. ^(ER)I go to prepare a place for you. ³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, ^(ES)I will come again and receive you to Myself; that ^(ET)where I am, there you may be also. ⁴ And where I go you know, and the way you know.”

^5 (EU)Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”

⁶ Jesus said to him, “I am ^(EV)the way, ^(EW)the truth, and ^(EX)the life. ^(EY)No one comes to the Father ^(EZ)except through Me.

The Father Revealed

^7 (FA)“If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”

⁸ Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”

⁹ Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? ^(FB)He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? ¹⁰ Do you not believe that ^(FC)I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you ^(FD)I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. ¹¹ Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, ^(FE)or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.

The Answered Prayer

^12 (FF)“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. ^13 (FG)And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be ^(FH)glorified in the Son. ¹⁴ If you ^[t]ask anything in My name, I will do it.

Jesus Promises Another Helper

^15 (FI)“If you love Me, ^[u]keep My commandments. ¹⁶ And I will pray the Father, and ^(FJ)He will give you another ^[v]Helper, that He may abide with you forever— ^17 (FK)the Spirit of truth, ^(FL)whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you ^(FM)and will be in you. ^18 (FN)I will not leave you orphans; ^(FO)I will come to you.

Indwelling of the Father and the Son

¹⁹ “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but ^(FP)you will see Me. ^(FQ)Because I live, you will live also. ²⁰ At that day you will know that ^(FR)I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. ^21 (FS)He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and ^[w]manifest Myself to him.”

^22 (FT)Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?”

²³ Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, ^(FU)and We will come to him and make Our home with him. ²⁴ He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and ^(FV)the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.

The Gift of His Peace

²⁵ “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. ²⁶ But ^(FW)the ^[x]Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will ^(FX)send in My name, ^(FY)He will teach you all things, and bring to your ^(FZ)remembrance all things that I said to you. ^27 (GA)Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. ²⁸ You have heard Me ^(GB)say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because ^[y]I said, ^(GC)‘I am going to the Father,’ for ^(GD)My Father is greater than I.

²⁹ “And ^(GE)now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe. ³⁰ I will no longer talk much with you, ^(GF)for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has ^(GG)nothing in Me. ³¹ But that the world may know that I love the Father, and ^(GH)as the Father gave Me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go from here.

The True Vine

15 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. ^2 (GI)Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He ^[z]takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear ^(GJ)more fruit. ^3 (GK)You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. ^4 (GL)Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.

⁵ “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much ^(GM)fruit; for without Me you can do ^(GN)nothing. ⁶ If anyone does not abide in Me, ^(GO)he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. ⁷ If you abide in Me, and My words ^(GP)abide in you, ^(GQ)you^[aa] will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. ^8 (GR)By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; ^(GS)so you will be My disciples.

Love and Joy Perfected

⁹ “As the Father ^(GT)loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. ^10 (GU)If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.

¹¹ “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and ^(GV)that your joy may be full. ^12 (GW)This is My ^(GX)commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. ^13 (GY)Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. ^14 (GZ)You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. ¹⁵ No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, ^(HA)for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. ^16 (HB)You did not choose Me, but I chose you and ^(HC)appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father ^(HD)in My name He may give you. ¹⁷ These things I command you, that you love one another.

The World’s Hatred

^18 (HE)“If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. ^19 (HF)If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet ^(HG)because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. ²⁰ Remember the word that I said to you, ^(HH)‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. ^(HI)If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. ²¹ But ^(HJ)all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me. ^22 (HK)If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, ^(HL)but now they have no excuse for their sin. ^23 (HM)He who hates Me hates My Father also. ²⁴ If I had not done among them ^(HN)the works which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have ^(HO)seen and also hated both Me and My Father. ²⁵ But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, ^(HP)‘They hated Me without a cause.’

The Coming Rejection

^26 (HQ)“But when the ^[ab]Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, ^(HR)He will testify of Me. ²⁷ And ^(HS)you also will bear witness, because ^(HT)you have been with Me from the beginning.

Jesus Warns and Comforts His Disciples

16 “These things I have spoken to you, that you ^(HU)should not be made to stumble. ^2 (HV)They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming ^(HW)that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service. ³ And ^(HX)these things they will do ^[ac]to you because they have not known the Father nor Me. ⁴ But these things I have told you, that when ^[ad]the time 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.

The Work of the Holy Spirit

⁵ “But now I ^(HY)go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’ ⁶ But because I have said these things to you, ^(HZ)sorrow has filled your heart. ⁷ Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but ^(IA)if I depart, I will send Him to you. ⁸ And when He has ^(IB)come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: ^9 (IC)of sin, because they do not believe in Me; ^10 (ID)of righteousness, ^(IE)because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; ^11 (IF)of judgment, because ^(IG)the ruler of this world is judged.

¹² “I still have many things to say to you, ^(IH)but you cannot bear them now. ¹³ However, when He, ^(II)the Spirit of truth, has come, ^(IJ)He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. ^14 (IK)He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. ^15 (IL)All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He ^[ae]will take of Mine and declare it to you.

Sorrow Will Turn to Joy

¹⁶ “A ^(IM)little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me, ^(IN)because I go to the Father.”

¹⁷ Then some of His disciples said among themselves, “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’?” ¹⁸ They said therefore, “What is this that He says, ‘A little while’? We do not ^[af]know what He is saying.”

¹⁹ Now Jesus knew that they desired to ask Him, and He said to them, “Are you inquiring among yourselves about what I said, ‘A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me’? ²⁰ Most assuredly, I say to you that you will weep and ^(IO)lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into ^(IP)joy. ^21 (IQ)A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because her hour has come; but as soon as she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world. ²² Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and ^(IR)your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you.

²³ “And in that day you will ask Me nothing. ^(IS)Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. ²⁴ Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, ^(IT)that your joy may be ^(IU)full.

Jesus Christ Has Overcome the World

²⁵ “These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell you ^(IV)plainly about the Father. 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; ^27 (IW)for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and ^(IX)have believed that I came forth from God. ^28 (IY)I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.”

²⁹ His disciples said to Him, “See, now You are speaking plainly, and using no figure of speech! ³⁰ Now we are sure that ^(IZ)You know all things, and have no need that anyone should question You. By this ^(JA)we believe that You came forth from God.”

³¹ Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? ^32 (JB)Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, ^(JC)each to his ^[ag]own, and will leave Me alone. And ^(JD)yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. ³³ These things I have spoken to you, that ^(JE)in Me you may have peace. ^(JF)In the world you ^[ah]will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, ^(JG)I have overcome the world.”
