約翰福音 16
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
16 「我對你們說了這些事,是要使你們不至於跌倒。 2 人要把你們趕出會堂,而且時候將到,凡殺你們的還以為是在事奉 神。 3 他們這樣做,是因為沒有認識父,也沒有認識我。 4 我對你們說了這些事,是要在他們做這些事的時候,你們會想起我對你們說過的話。」
聖靈的工作
「我起先沒有對你們說這些事,因為我一直與你們同在。 5 現在我要到差我來的父那裏去,你們中間卻沒有人問我『你去哪裏?』 6 只因我對你們說了這些事,你們就滿心憂愁。 7 然而,我把真情告訴你們,我去對你們是有益的。我若不去,保惠師就不會到你們這裏來;我若去,就差他到你們這裏來。 8 他來的時候,要為罪、為義,為審判,指證世人; 9 為罪,是因他們不信我; 10 為義,是因我到父那裏去,你們將不再見到我; 11 為審判,是因這世界的統治者已受了審判。
12 「我還有好些事要告訴你們,但你們現在擔當不了[a]。 13 但真理的靈來的時候,他要引導你們進入一切真理。因為他不是憑着自己說的,而是把他所聽見的都說出來,並且要把將要來的事向你們傳達。 14 他要榮耀我,因為他要把從我領受的向你們傳達。 15 凡父所有的都是我的,所以我說,他要把從我領受的向你們傳達。」
憂愁變為喜樂
16 「不久,你們將不再見到我;再過不久,你們還要見到我。」 17 有幾個門徒彼此說:「他對我們說『不久,你們將不再見到我;再過不久,你們還要見到我』;又說『因我到父那裏去』。這是甚麼意思呢?」 18 於是門徒說:「他說[b]『不久』到底是甚麼意思呢?我們不明白他說甚麼。」 19 耶穌看出他們要問他,就對他們說:「我說『不久,你們將不再見到我;再過不久,你們還要見到我』,你們為這話彼此詢問嗎? 20 我實實在在地告訴你們,你們將要痛哭,哀號,世人反要歡喜。你們將要憂愁,然而你們的憂愁要變成喜樂。 21 婦人生產的時候會憂愁,因為她的時候到了;但孩子一生出來,就不再記得那痛苦了,因為歡喜有一個人生在世上了。 22 你們現在也是憂愁,但我要再見到你們,你們的心就會有喜樂了;這喜樂沒有人能奪去。 23 到那日,你們甚麼也不會問我了。我實實在在地告訴你們,你們奉我的名無論向父求甚麼,他會賜給你們[c]。 24 直到現在,你們沒有奉我的名求甚麼,如今你們求就必得着,使你們的喜樂得以滿足。」
我已經勝過世界
25 「這些事,我是用比方對你們說的;時候將到,我不再用比方對你們說,而是要把父的事明白地告訴你們。 26 到那日,你們要奉我的名祈求;我並不對你們說,我要為你們向父祈求。 27 父自己愛你們,因為你們已經愛我,又信我是從 神[d]而來的。 28 我從父而來,到了世界[e],又離開世界,到父那裏去。」
29 門徒說:「你看,如今你是明說,不用比方了。 30 現在我們曉得你凡事都知道,也不需要有人問你;從此我們信你是從 神而來的。」 31 耶穌回答他們:「現在你們信了嗎? 32 看哪,時候將到,其實已經到了,你們要分散,各歸自己的地方,留下我獨自一人;然而我不是獨自一人,因為有父與我同在。 33 我對你們說了這些事,是要使你們在我裏面有平安。在世上你們有苦難,但你們要有勇氣[f],我已經勝過世界。」
Juan 16
Nueva Versión Internacional
16 »Todo esto les he dicho para que no flaquee su fe. 2 Los expulsarán de las sinagogas; y llegará el día en que cualquiera que los mate pensará que está prestando un servicio a Dios. 3 Actuarán de este modo porque no nos han conocido ni al Padre ni a mí. 4 Y digo esto para que cuando llegue ese día se acuerden de que ya se lo había advertido. Sin embargo, no les dije esto al principio porque yo estaba con ustedes.
La obra del Espíritu Santo
5 »Ahora vuelvo al que me envió, pero ninguno de ustedes me pregunta: “¿A dónde vas?”. 6 Al contrario, como les he dicho estas cosas, se han entristecido mucho. 7 Pero digo la verdad: les conviene que me vaya porque, si no lo hago, el Consolador no vendrá a ustedes; en cambio, si me voy, se lo enviaré. 8 Y cuando él venga, convencerá al mundo de su error[a] en cuanto al pecado, a la justicia y al juicio; 9 en cuanto al pecado, porque no creen en mí; 10 en cuanto a la justicia, porque voy al Padre y ustedes ya no podrán verme; 11 y en cuanto al juicio, porque el príncipe de este mundo ya ha sido juzgado.
12 »Muchas cosas me quedan aún por decirles, que por ahora no podrían soportar. 13 Pero cuando venga el Espíritu de la verdad, él los guiará a toda la verdad, porque no hablará por su propia cuenta, sino que dirá solo lo que oiga y les anunciará las cosas por venir. 14 Él me glorificará porque tomará de lo mío y se lo dará a conocer a ustedes. 15 Todo cuanto tiene el Padre es mío. Por eso les dije que el Espíritu tomará de lo mío y se lo dará a conocer a ustedes.
16 »Dentro de poco ya no me verán; pero un poco después volverán a verme».
La despedida de Jesús
17 Algunos de sus discípulos comentaban entre sí:
«¿Qué quiere decir con eso de que “dentro de poco ya no me verán”, y “un poco después volverán a verme”, y “porque voy al Padre”?». 18 Luego insistían: «¿Qué quiere decir con eso de “dentro de poco”? No sabemos de qué habla».
19 Jesús se dio cuenta de que querían hacerle preguntas acerca de esto, entonces les dijo:
—¿Se están preguntando qué quise decir cuando dije: “Dentro de poco ya no me verán”, y “un poco después volverán a verme”? 20 Les aseguro que ustedes llorarán de dolor, mientras que el mundo se alegrará. Se pondrán tristes, pero su tristeza se convertirá en alegría. 21 La mujer que está por dar a luz siente dolores porque ha llegado su momento, pero en cuanto nace la criatura se olvida de su angustia por la alegría de haber traído al mundo un nuevo ser. 22 Lo mismo les pasa a ustedes; ahora están tristes, pero cuando vuelva a verlos se alegrarán y nadie les va a quitar esa alegría. 23 En aquel día ya no me pedirán nada. Les aseguro que mi Padre les dará todo lo que pidan en mi nombre. 24 Hasta ahora no han pedido nada en mi nombre. Pidan y recibirán para que su alegría sea completa.
25 »Les he dicho todo esto por medio de comparaciones, pero viene la hora en que ya no les hablaré así, sino que les hablaré claramente acerca del Padre. 26 En aquel día pedirán en mi nombre. Y no digo que voy a rogar por ustedes al Padre, 27 ya que el Padre mismo los ama porque me han amado y han creído que yo he venido de parte de Dios. 28 Salí del Padre y vine al mundo; ahora dejo de nuevo el mundo y vuelvo al Padre.
29 —Ahora sí estás hablando directamente, sin vueltas ni rodeos —dijeron sus discípulos—. 30 Ya podemos ver que sabes todas las cosas; ni siquiera necesitas que nadie te haga preguntas. Por esto creemos que saliste de Dios.
31 —¿Ahora creen? —contestó Jesús—. 32 Miren que viene la hora, y ya es la hora, en que ustedes serán dispersados; cada uno se irá a su propia casa y a mí me dejarán solo. Sin embargo, solo no estoy, porque el Padre está conmigo. 33 Yo les he dicho estas cosas para que en mí hallen paz. En este mundo afrontarán aflicciones, pero ¡anímense! Yo he vencido al mundo.

John 16
New International Version
16 “All this(A) I have told you so that you will not fall away.(B) 2 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) 3 They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me.(E) 4 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) 5 but now I am going to him who sent me.(H) None of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’(I) 6 Rather, you are filled with grief(J) because I have said these things. 7 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) 8 When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 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.”
John 16
Amplified Bible
Jesus’ Warning
16 “I have told you these things so that you will not stumble or be caught off guard and fall away. 2 They will put you out of the synagogues and make you outcasts. And a time is coming when whoever kills you will think that he is offering service to God. 3 And they will do these things because they have not known the Father or Me. 4 I have told you these things [now], so that when their time comes, you will remember that I told you about them. I did not say these things to you at the beginning, because I was with you.
The Holy Spirit Promised
5 “But now I am going 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, sorrow has filled your hearts [and taken complete possession of them]. 7 But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the [a]Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby) will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him (the Holy Spirit) to you [to be in close fellowship with you]. 8 And He, when He comes, will convict the world about [the guilt of] sin [and the need for a Savior], and about righteousness, and about judgment: 9 about sin [and the true nature of it], because they do not believe in Me [and My message]; 10 about righteousness [personal integrity and godly character], because I am going to My Father and you will no longer see Me; 11 about judgment [the certainty of it], because the ruler of this world (Satan) has been judged and condemned.
12 “I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear [to hear] them now. 13 But when He, the Spirit of Truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth [full and complete truth]. For He will not speak on His own initiative, but He will speak whatever He hears [from the Father—the message regarding the Son], and He will disclose to you what is to come [in the future]. 14 He will glorify and honor Me, because He (the Holy Spirit) will take from what is Mine and will disclose it to you. 15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Because of this I said that He [the Spirit] will take from what is Mine and will reveal it to you.
Jesus’ Death and Resurrection Foretold
16 “A little while, and you will no longer see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me.” 17 Some of His disciples said to one another, “What does He mean when He tells us, ‘A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me’; and, ‘because I am going to My Father’?” 18 So they were saying, “What does He mean when He says, ‘A little while’? We do not know what He is talking about.” 19 Jesus knew that they wanted to ask Him, so He said to them, “Are you wondering among yourselves about what I meant when I said, ‘A little while, and you will not see Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me’? 20 I assure you and most solemnly say to you, that you will weep and grieve [in great mourning], but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy. 21 A woman, when she is in labor, has pain because her time [to give birth] has come; but when she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of her joy that a child has come into the world. 22 So for now you are in grief; but I will see you again, and [then] your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take away from you your [great] joy.
Prayer Promises
23 In that day you will not [need to] ask Me about anything. I assure you and most solemnly say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name [as My representative], He will give you. 24 Until now you have not asked [the Father] for anything in My name; but now ask and keep on asking and you will receive, so that your joy may be full and complete.
25 “I have told you these things in figurative language (veiled language, proverbs); the hour is now coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech, but I will tell you plainly about the Father. 26 In that day you will ask in My name, and I am not saying to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf [because it will be unnecessary]; 27 for the Father Himself [tenderly] loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came from the Father. 28 I came from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and going to the Father.”
29 His disciples said, “Ah, now You are speaking plainly to us and not in figures of speech! 30 Now we know that You know all things, and have no need for anyone to question You; because of this we believe [without any doubt] that you came from God.” 31 Jesus answered them, “Do you now [at last] believe? 32 Take careful notice: an hour is coming, and has arrived, when you will all be scattered, each to his own home, leaving Me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. 33 I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.]
