John 15:18-17:26

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁸ If the world hate you, know ye, that it hath hated me before you.

¹⁹ If you had been of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

²⁰ Remember my word that I said to you: The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you: if they have kept my word, they will keep yours also.

²¹ But all these things they will do to you for my name's sake: because they know not him who sent me.

²² If I had not come, and spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.

²³ He that hateth me, hateth my Father also.

²⁴ If I had not done among them the works that no other man hath done, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.

²⁵ But that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law: They hated me without cause.

²⁶ But when the Paraclete cometh, whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the Father, he shall give testimony of me.

²⁷ And you shall give testimony, because you are with me from the beginning.

16 These things have I spoken to you, that you may not be scandalized.

² They will put you out of the synagogues: yea, the hour cometh, that whosoever killeth you, will think that he doth a service to God.

³ And these things will they do to you; because they have not known the Father, nor me.

⁴ But these things I have told you, that when the hour shall come, you may remember that I told you of them.

⁵ But I told you not these things from the beginning, because I was with you. And now I go to him that sent me, and none of you asketh me: Whither goest thou?

⁶ But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow hath filled your heart.

⁷ But I tell you the truth: it is expedient to you that I go: for if I go not, the Paraclete will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

⁸ And when he is come, he will convince the world of sin, and of justice, and of judgment.

⁹ Of sin: because they believed not in me.

¹⁰ And of justice: because I go to the Father; and you shall see me no longer.

¹¹ And of judgment: because the prince of this world is already judged.

¹² I have yet many things to say to you: but you cannot bear them now.

¹³ But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will teach you all truth. For he shall not speak of himself; but what things soever he shall hear, he shall speak; and the things that are to come, he shall shew you.

¹⁴ He shall glorify me; because he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it to you.

¹⁵ All things whatsoever the Father hath, are mine. Therefore I said, that he shall receive of mine, and shew it to you.

¹⁶ A little while, and now you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me: because I go to the Father.

¹⁷ Then some of the disciples said one to another: What is this that he saith to us: A little while, and you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me, and, because I go to the Father?

¹⁸ They said therefore: What is this that he saith, A little while? we know not what he speaketh.

¹⁹ And Jesus knew that they had a mind to ask him; and he said to them: Of this do you inquire among yourselves, because I said: A little while, and you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me?

²⁰ Amen, amen I say to you, that you shall lament and weep, but the world shall rejoice; and you shall be made sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

²¹ A woman, when she is in labour, hath sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she hath brought forth the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.

²² So also you now indeed have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice; and your joy no man shall take from you.

²³ And in that day you shall not ask me any thing. Amen, amen I say to you: if you ask the Father any thing in my name, he will give it you.

²⁴ Hitherto you have not asked any thing in my name. Ask, and you shall receive; that your joy may be full.

²⁵ These things I have spoken to you in proverbs. The hour cometh, when I will no more speak to you in proverbs, but will shew you plainly of the Father.

²⁶ In that day you shall ask in my name; and I say not to you, that I will ask the Father for you:

²⁷ For the Father himself loveth you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.

²⁸ I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again I leave the world, and I go to the Father.

²⁹ His disciples say to him: Behold, now thou speakest plainly, and speakest no proverb.

³⁰ Now we know that thou knowest all things, and thou needest not that any man should ask thee. By this we believe that thou camest forth from God.

³¹ Jesus answered them: Do you now believe?

³² Behold, the hour cometh, and it is now come, that you shall be scattered every man to his own, and shall leave me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

³³ These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you shall have distress: but have confidence, I have overcome the world.

17 These things Jesus spoke, and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said: Father, the hour is come, glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee.

² As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he may give eternal life to all whom thou hast given him.

³ Now this is eternal life: That they may know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

⁴ I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

⁵ And now glorify thou me, O Father, with thyself, with the glory which I had, before the world was, with thee.

⁶ I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou hast given me out of the world. Thine they were, and to me thou gavest them; and they have kept thy word.

⁷ Now they have known, that all things which thou hast given me, are from thee:

⁸ Because the words which thou gavest me, I have given to them; and they have received them, and have known in very deed that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.

⁹ I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them whom thou hast given me: because they are thine:

¹⁰ And all my things are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

¹¹ And now I am not in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name whom thou has given me; that they may be one, as we also are.

¹² While I was with them, I kept them in thy name. Those whom thou gavest me have I kept; and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition, that the scripture may be fulfilled.

¹³ And now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy filled in themselves.

¹⁴ I have given them thy word, and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world; as I also am not of the world.

¹⁵ I pray not that thou shouldst take them out of the world, but that thou shouldst keep them from evil.

¹⁶ They are not of the world, as I also am not of the world.

¹⁷ Sanctify them in truth. Thy word is truth.

¹⁸ As thou hast sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.

¹⁹ And for them do I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.

²⁰ And not for them only do I pray, but for them also who through their word shall believe in me;

²¹ That they all may be one, as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

²² And the glory which thou hast given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, as we also are one:

²³ I in them, and thou in me; that they may be made perfect in one: and the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast also loved me.

²⁴ Father, I will that where I am, they also whom thou hast given me may be with me; that they may see my glory which thou hast given me, because thou hast loved me before the creation of the world.

²⁵ Just Father, the world hath not known thee; but I have known thee: and these have known that thou hast sent me.

²⁶ And I have made known thy name to them, and will make it known; that the love wherewith thou hast loved me, may be in them, and I in them.
