16 “我把这些事告诉了你们,使你们不致后退。 人要把你们赶出会堂;并且时候要到,所有要杀害你们的人,以为这样就是事奉 神。 他们要作这些事,因为他们不认识父,也不认识我。 我把这些事告诉了你们,让你们到了那个时候,可以想起我告诉过你们了。

圣灵的工作

“我起初没有把这些事告诉你们,因为我跟你们在一起。 现在我要到那差我来的那里去,你们中间并没有人问:‘你到哪里去?’ 然而因为我把这些事告诉了你们,你们心里就充满忧愁。 但我要把实情告诉你们,我去是对你们有益的。如果我不去,保惠师就不会到你们这里来;我若去了,就会差他到你们这里来。 他来了,就要在罪、在义、在审判各方面指证世人的罪。 在罪方面,是因为他们不信我; 10 在义方面,是因为我到父那里去,你们就再看不见我; 11 在审判方面,是因为这世界的统治者已经受了审判。

12 “我还有许多事要告诉你们,可是你们现在担当不了; 13 只等真理的灵来了,他要引导你们进入一切真理。他不是凭着自己说话,而是把他听见的都说出来,并且要把将来的事告诉你们。 14 他要荣耀我,因为他要把从我那里所领受的告诉你们。 15 父所有的一切,都是我的;所以我说,他要把从我那里所领受的告诉你们。

你们的忧愁要变为喜乐

16 “不久,你们不会再看见我;再过不久,你们还要看见我。” 17 于是他的门徒中有几个彼此说:“他对我们说:‘不久,你们不会看见我;再过不久,你们还要看见我。’又说:‘因为我到父那里去。’这是甚么意思呢?” 18 他们又说:“他所说的‘不久’,是甚么意思呢?我们不晓得他在讲甚么。” 19 耶稣知道他们想问他,就说:“我所说的‘不久,你们不会看见我;再过不久,你们还要看见我’,你们为了这话彼此议论吗? 20 我实实在在告诉你们,你们要痛哭哀号,世人却要欢喜;你们要忧愁,但你们的忧愁要变为喜乐。 21 妇人生产的时候会有忧愁,因为她的时候到了;但生了孩子以后,就不再记住那痛苦了,因为欢喜有一个人生到世上来。 22 现在你们也有忧愁;但我要再见你们,你们的心就会喜乐,你们的喜乐是没有人能够夺去的。 23 到了那天,你们甚么也不会问我了。我实实在在告诉你们,你们奉我的名无论向父求甚么,他必定赐给你们。 24 你们向来没有奉我的名求甚么;现在你们祈求,就必定得着,让你们的喜乐满溢。

耶稣已经胜过世界

25 “我用譬喻对你们说了这些事,时候要到,我不再用譬喻对你们说了,而是把关于父的事明明白白告诉你们。 26 到了那天,你们要奉我的名祈求,我不是说我要为你们请求父; 27 父自己爱你们,因为你们已经爱我,并且信我是从 神那里来的。 28 我从父那里来,到了这世界;我又离开这世界,到父那里去。” 29 门徒说:“你看,现在你是明说,不是用譬喻说了。 30 现在我们知道你是无所不知的,不需要人向你发问。因此,我们信你是从 神那里来的。” 31 耶稣对他们说:“现在你们信吗? 32 看哪,时候要到,而且已经到了,你们要分散,各人到自己的地方去,只留下我独自一个人。其实我不是独自一个人,因为有父与我同在。 33 我把这些事告诉你们,是要使你们在我里面有平安。在世上你们有患难,但你们放心,我已经胜了这世界。”

16 “All this(A) I have told you so that you will not fall away.(B) They will put you out of the synagogue;(C) in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God.(D) They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me.(E) I have told you this, so that when their time comes you will remember(F) that I warned you about them. I did not tell you this from the beginning because I was with you,(G) but now I am going to him who sent me.(H) None of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’(I) Rather, you are filled with grief(J) because I have said these things. But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate(K) will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.(L) When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: about sin,(M) because people do not believe in me; 10 about righteousness,(N) because I am going to the Father,(O) where you can see me no longer; 11 and about judgment, because the prince of this world(P) now stands condemned.

12 “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.(Q) 13 But when he, the Spirit of truth,(R) comes, he will guide you into all the truth.(S) He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14 He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. 15 All that belongs to the Father is mine.(T) That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”

The Disciples’ Grief Will Turn to Joy

16 Jesus went on to say, “In a little while(U) you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me.”(V)

17 At this, some of his disciples said to one another, “What does he mean by saying, ‘In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me,’(W) and ‘Because I am going to the Father’?”(X) 18 They kept asking, “What does he mean by ‘a little while’? We don’t understand what he is saying.”

19 Jesus saw that they wanted to ask him about this, so he said to them, “Are you asking one another what I meant when I said, ‘In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me’? 20 Very truly I tell you, you will weep and mourn(Y) while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.(Z) 21 A woman giving birth to a child has pain(AA) because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world. 22 So with you: Now is your time of grief,(AB) but I will see you again(AC) and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.(AD) 23 In that day(AE) you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.(AF) 24 Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive,(AG) and your joy will be complete.(AH)

25 “Though I have been speaking figuratively,(AI) a time is coming(AJ) when I will no longer use this kind of language but will tell you plainly about my Father. 26 In that day you will ask in my name.(AK) I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf. 27 No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me(AL) and have believed that I came from God.(AM) 28 I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.”(AN)

29 Then Jesus’ disciples said, “Now you are speaking clearly and without figures of speech.(AO) 30 Now we can see that you know all things and that you do not even need to have anyone ask you questions. This makes us believe(AP) that you came from God.”(AQ)

31 “Do you now believe?” Jesus replied. 32 “A time is coming(AR) and in fact has come when you will be scattered,(AS) each to your own home. You will leave me all alone.(AT) Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me.(AU)

33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace.(AV) In this world you will have trouble.(AW) But take heart! I have overcome(AX) the world.”

16 »Estas cosas les he dicho(A) para que no tengan tropiezo[a](B) . Los expulsarán de las sinagogas(C); pero viene la hora(D)cuando cualquiera que los mate pensará que así rinde un servicio a Dios(E). Y harán estas cosas porque no han conocido ni al Padre ni a Mí(F). Pero les he dicho estas cosas para que cuando llegue la[b]hora(G), se acuerden de que ya les había hablado de ellas[c]. Y no les dije estas cosas al principio(H), porque Yo estaba con ustedes.

»Pero ahora voy al que me envió(I) , y ninguno de ustedes me pregunta: “¿Adónde vas(J) ?”. Pero porque les he dicho estas cosas, la tristeza ha llenado su corazón(K).

La obra del Espíritu Santo

»Pero Yo les digo la verdad: les conviene que Yo me vaya; porque si no me voy, el Consolador[d](L) no vendrá a ustedes; pero si me voy, se lo enviaré(M) .

»Y cuando Él venga, convencerá[e] al mundo de pecado, de justicia y de juicio; de pecado, porque no creen en Mí(N); 10 de justicia(O), porque Yo voy al Padre(P)y ustedes no me verán más; 11 y de juicio, porque el príncipe de este mundo ha sido juzgado(Q).

12 »Aún tengo muchas cosas que decirles, pero ahora no las pueden soportar. 13 Pero cuando Él, el Espíritu de verdad(R)venga, los guiará a toda la verdad, porque no hablará por Su propia cuenta, sino que hablará todo lo que oiga, y les hará saber(S)lo que habrá de venir. 14 Él me glorificará(T), porque tomará de lo Mío y se lo hará saber a ustedes. 15 Todo lo que tiene el Padre es Mío(U); por eso dije que Él toma de lo Mío y se lo hará saber a ustedes.

16 »Un poco más(V) , y ya no me verán(W) ; y de nuevo un poco, y me verán(X) ». 17 Entonces algunos de Sus discípulos se decían unos a otros: «¿Qué es esto que nos dice: “Un poco más, y no me verán, y de nuevo un poco, y me verán(Y)” y “Porque Yo voy al Padre(Z)”?». 18 Por eso decían: «¿Qué es esto que dice: “Un poco”? No sabemos de qué habla».

19 Jesús sabía que querían preguntarle(AA), y les dijo: «¿Están discutiendo entre ustedes sobre esto, porque dije: “Un poco más, y no me verán, y de nuevo un poco, y me verán”? 20 En verdad les digo, que llorarán y se lamentarán(AB), pero el mundo se alegrará; ustedes estarán tristes, pero su tristeza se convertirá en alegría(AC). 21 Cuando la mujer está para dar a luz, tiene aflicción(AD), porque ha llegado su hora; pero cuando da a luz al niño, ya no se acuerda de la angustia, por la alegría de que un niño[f]haya nacido en el mundo.

22 »Por tanto, ahora ustedes tienen también aflicción(AE) ; pero Yo los veré otra vez(AF) , y su corazón se alegrará, y nadie les quitará su gozo. 23 En aquel día(AG)no me preguntarán nada(AH). En verdad les digo, que si piden algo al Padre en Mi nombre, Él se lo dará(AI). 24 Hasta ahora nada han pedido en Mi nombre(AJ); pidan y recibirán, para que su gozo sea completo(AK).

25 »Estas cosas les he hablado en lenguaje figurado[g](AL) ; viene el tiempo[h](AM) cuando no les hablaré más en lenguaje figurado, sino que les hablaré del Padre claramente. 26 En ese día(AN)pedirán(AO)en Mi nombre, y no les digo que Yo rogaré al Padre por ustedes, 27 pues el Padre mismo los ama, porque ustedes me han amado(AP)y han creído(AQ)que Yo salí del Padre(AR). 28 Salí del Padre(AS)y he venido al mundo; de nuevo, dejo el mundo y voy al Padre(AT)».

29 Sus discípulos le dijeron*: «Ahora hablas claramente y no usas lenguaje figurado[i](AU). 30 Ahora entendemos que Tú sabes todas las cosas, y no necesitas que nadie te pregunte; por esto creemos(AV) que Tú viniste de Dios(AW)».

31 Jesús les respondió: «¿Ahora creen? 32 Miren, la hora viene(AX), y ya ha llegado, en que serán esparcidos(AY), cada uno por su lado[j](AZ), y me dejarán solo; y sin embargo no estoy solo(BA), porque el Padre está conmigo. 33 Estas cosas les he hablado para que en Mí tengan paz(BB). En el mundo tienen tribulación(BC); pero confíen[k](BD), Yo he vencido al mundo(BE)».

16 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.

They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

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

But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.

But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?

But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.

Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

Of sin, because they believe not on me;

10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

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

17 Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?

18 They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.

19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?

20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

21 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.

22 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.

23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.

24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

25 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.

26 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:

27 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye 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 go to the Father.

29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.

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

31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?

32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye 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 unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

16 “Sinabi ko ito sa inyo upang huwag ninyong talikuran ang inyong pananalig sa akin. Ititiwalag kayo sa mga sinagoga. Darating ang panahon na ang sinumang pumatay sa inyo ay mag-aakalang naglilingkod siya sa Diyos. At gagawin nila ito sapagkat hindi nila ako kilala, ni ang Ama. Subalit sinabi ko na ito sa inyo upang kapag dumating na ang oras na gagawin na nila ang mga ito, maaalala ninyo ang sinabi ko sa inyo tungkol sa kanila.”

Ang Gawain ng Espiritu Santo

“Hindi ko ito sinabi sa inyo noong una sapagkat kasama pa ninyo ako. Ngunit ngayo'y pupunta na ako sa nagsugo sa akin at wala ni isa man sa inyo ang nagtatanong kung saan ako pupunta. Ngayon sinabi ko na sa inyo, lubha naman kayong nalungkot. Subalit sinasabi ko sa inyo ang katotohanan. Ang pag-alis ko'y sa ikabubuti ninyo, sapagkat hindi paparito sa inyo ang Patnubay kung hindi ako aalis. Ngunit pag-alis ko, isusugo ko siya sa inyo. Pagdating niya ay kanyang patutunayan na mali ang mga taga-sanlibutan tungkol sa kasalanan, tungkol sa katuwiran at tungkol sa paghatol ng Diyos. Patutunayan niya ang tungkol sa kanilang kasalanan sapagkat hindi sila naniwala sa akin. 10 Patutunayan niya ang tungkol sa katuwiran sapagkat ako'y pupunta sa Ama at hindi na ninyo makikita; 11 at ang tungkol sa paghatol ng Diyos, sapagkat hinatulan na ang pinuno ng sanlibutang ito.

12 “Marami pa akong sasabihin sa inyo subalit hindi pa ninyo kayang tanggapin sa ngayon. 13 Ngunit(A) pagdating ng Espiritu ng katotohanan, papatnubayan niya kayo sa buong katotohanan. Sapagkat ang sasabihin niya ay hindi mula sa kanyang sarili, kundi ang kanyang narinig; at ipahahayag niya sa inyo ang mga mangyayari sa hinaharap. 14 Pararangalan niya ako sapagkat tatanggapin ng Espiritu mula sa akin ang ipahahayag niya sa inyo. 15 Ang lahat ng sa Ama ay sa akin, kaya ko sinabing tatanggapin ng Espiritu ang mula sa akin at ipahahayag niya ito sa inyo.”

Kalungkutang Magiging Kagalakan

16 “Kaunting panahon na lamang at hindi na ninyo ako makikita, at pagkaraan ng kaunti pang panahon, ako'y inyong makikitang muli.”

17 Nag-usap-usap ang ilan sa kanyang mga alagad, “Ano kaya ang ibig niyang sabihin na kaunting panahon na lamang at hindi na natin siya makikita, at pagkaraan ng kaunti pang panahon ay makikita natin siyang muli? Sinabi pa niya, ‘Sapagkat ako'y pupunta sa Ama.’ 18 Ano kaya ang kahulugan ng, ‘kaunting panahon na lamang’? Hindi natin maunawaan ang kanyang sinasabi!”

19 Alam ni Jesus na ibig nilang magtanong, kaya't sinabi niya, “Nagtatanungan kayo tungkol sa sinabi kong ‘kaunting panahon na lamang at hindi na ninyo ako makikita, at pagkaraan ng kaunti pang panahon, ako'y makikita ninyong muli.’ 20 Pakatandaan ninyo: iiyak kayo at tatangis, ngunit magagalak ang sanlibutan. Labis kayong malulungkot, subalit ang inyong kalungkutan ay mapapalitan ng kagalakan.

21 “Kapag manganganak na ang isang babae, siya'y nalulungkot sapagkat dumating na ang oras ng kanyang paghihirap. Ngunit pagkapanganak niya, nakakalimutan na niya ang kanyang paghihirap; sapagkat nagagalak siya dahil sa pagsilang ng isang sanggol sa sanlibutan.

22 “Gayundin naman, nalulungkot kayo ngayon, ngunit muli ko kayong makikita, at mag-uumapaw sa inyong puso ang kagalakang hindi maaagaw ninuman. 23 Sa araw na iyon, hindi na ninyo kailangang humingi sa akin. Pakatandaan ninyo: anumang hingin ninyo sa Ama sa aking pangalan ay ibibigay niya sa inyo. 24 Hanggang ngayo'y wala pa kayong hinihingi sa kanya sa aking pangalan. Humingi kayo, at kayo'y tatanggap upang malubos ang inyong kagalakan.”

Pagtatagumpay sa Pangalan ni Jesus

25 “Ang mga ito'y sinabi ko sa inyo nang patalinghaga. Subalit darating ang panahong hindi na ako magsasalita sa inyo sa ganitong paraan; tuwiran ko nang sasabihin sa inyo ang tungkol sa Ama. 26 Sa araw na iyon ay hihingi kayo sa kanya sa aking pangalan, at hindi ko sinasabing ako mismo ang hihiling sa Ama para sa inyo. 27 Mahal kayo ng Ama sapagkat ako'y minahal ninyo at naniwala kayo na ako'y nagmula sa Diyos.[a] 28 Ako nga'y nanggaling sa Ama at naparito sa sanlibutan; ngayo'y aalis na ako sa sanlibutan at babalik na sa Ama.”

29 Sinabi ng kanyang mga alagad, “Ngayon po'y tuwiran na ang inyong pangungusap sa amin at hindi na patalinghaga! 30 Ngayon alam na po naming alam ninyo ang lahat ng bagay, at hindi na kailangang tanungin pa kayo ninuman. Dahil dito, naniniwala po kami na kayo'y mula sa Diyos.”

31 Sumagot si Jesus, “Talaga bang naniniwala na kayo? 32 Darating ang oras, at ngayon na nga, na magkakawatak-watak kayo. Magkakanya-kanya kayo ng lakad, at iiwan ninyo ako. Gayunma'y hindi ako nag-iisa sapagkat kasama ko ang Ama. 33 Sinabi ko ito sa inyo upang sa inyong pakikipag-isa sa akin ay magkaroon kayo ng kapayapaan. Magdaranas kayo ng kapighatian sa sanlibutang ito, ngunit tibayan ninyo ang inyong loob! Napagtagumpayan ko na ang sanlibutan!”
