16 “我把這些事告訴了你們,使你們不致後退。 人要把你們趕出會堂;並且時候要到,所有要殺害你們的人,以為這樣就是事奉 神。 他們要作這些事,因為他們不認識父,也不認識我。 我把這些事告訴了你們,讓你們到了那個時候,可以想起我告訴過你們了。

聖靈的工作

“我起初沒有把這些事告訴你們,因為我跟你們在一起。 現在我要到那差我來的那裡去,你們中間並沒有人問:‘你到哪裡去?’ 然而因為我把這些事告訴了你們,你們心裡就充滿憂愁。 但我要把實情告訴你們,我去是對你們有益的。如果我不去,保惠師就不會到你們這裡來;我若去了,就會差他到你們這裡來。 他來了,就要在罪、在義、在審判各方面指證世人的罪。 在罪方面,是因為他們不信我; 10 在義方面,是因為我到父那裡去,你們就再看不見我; 11 在審判方面,是因為這世界的統治者已經受了審判。

12 “我還有許多事要告訴你們,可是你們現在擔當不了; 13 只等真理的靈來了,他要引導你們進入一切真理。他不是憑著自己說話,而是把他聽見的都說出來,並且要把將來的事告訴你們。 14 他要榮耀我,因為他要把從我那裡所領受的告訴你們。 15 父所有的一切,都是我的;所以我說,他要把從我那裡所領受的告訴你們。

你們的憂愁要變為喜樂

16 “不久,你們不會再看見我;再過不久,你們還要看見我。” 17 於是他的門徒中有幾個彼此說:“他對我們說:‘不久,你們不會看見我;再過不久,你們還要看見我。’又說:‘因為我到父那裡去。’這是甚麼意思呢?” 18 他們又說:“他所說的‘不久’,是甚麼意思呢?我們不曉得他在講甚麼。” 19 耶穌知道他們想問他,就說:“我所說的‘不久,你們不會看見我;再過不久,你們還要看見我’,你們為了這話彼此議論嗎? 20 我實實在在告訴你們,你們要痛哭哀號,世人卻要歡喜;你們要憂愁,但你們的憂愁要變為喜樂。 21 婦人生產的時候會有憂愁,因為她的時候到了;但生了孩子以後,就不再記住那痛苦了,因為歡喜有一個人生到世上來。 22 現在你們也有憂愁;但我要再見你們,你們的心就會喜樂,你們的喜樂是沒有人能夠奪去的。 23 到了那天,你們甚麼也不會問我了。我實實在在告訴你們,你們奉我的名無論向父求甚麼,他必定賜給你們。 24 你們向來沒有奉我的名求甚麼;現在你們祈求,就必定得著,讓你們的喜樂滿溢。

耶穌已經勝過世界

25 “我用譬喻對你們說了這些事,時候要到,我不再用譬喻對你們說了,而是把關於父的事明明白白告訴你們。 26 到了那天,你們要奉我的名祈求,我不是說我要為你們請求父; 27 父自己愛你們,因為你們已經愛我,並且信我是從 神那裡來的。 28 我從父那裡來,到了這世界;我又離開這世界,到父那裡去。” 29 門徒說:“你看,現在你是明說,不是用譬喻說了。 30 現在我們知道你是無所不知的,不需要人向你發問。因此,我們信你是從 神那裡來的。” 31 耶穌對他們說:“現在你們信嗎? 32 看哪,時候要到,而且已經到了,你們要分散,各人到自己的地方去,只留下我獨自一個人。其實我不是獨自一個人,因為有父與我同在。 33 我把這些事告訴你們,是要使你們在我裡面有平安。在世上你們有患難,但你們放心,我已經勝了這世界。”

16 Ang mga bagay na ito'y aking sinalita sa inyo, upang kayo'y huwag mangatisod.

Kayo'y palalayasin nila sa mga sinagoga: oo, dumarating ang oras, na ang sinomang pumatay sa inyo ay aakalaing naghahandog siya ng paglilingkod sa Dios.

At ang mga bagay na ito'y gagawin nila, sapagka't hindi nila nakikilala ang Ama, ni ako man.

Datapuwa't ang mga bagay na ito'y sinalita ko sa inyo, upang kung dumating ang kanilang oras, ay inyong mangaalaala, kung paanong sinabi ko sa inyo. At ang mga bagay na ito'y hindi ko sinabi sa inyo buhat pa nang una, sapagka't ako'y sumasa inyo.

Datapuwa't ngayong ako'y paroroon sa nagsugo sa akin; at sinoman sa inyo ay walang nagtatanong sa akin, Saan ka paroroon?

Nguni't sapagka't sinalita ko ang mga bagay na ito sa inyo, ay napuno ng kalumbayan ang inyong puso.

Gayon ma'y sinasalita ko sa inyo ang katotohanan: Nararapat sa inyo na ako'y yumaon; sapagka't kung hindi ako yayaon, ang Mangaaliw ay hindi paririto sa inyo; nguni't kung ako'y yumaon, siya'y susuguin ko sa inyo.

At siya, pagparito niya, ay kaniyang susumbatan ang sanglibutan tungkol sa kasalanan, at sa katuwiran, at sa paghatol:

Tungkol sa kasalanan, sapagka't hindi sila nagsisampalataya sa akin;

10 Tungkol sa katuwiran, sapagka't ako'y paroroon sa Ama, at hindi na ninyo ako makikita;

11 Tungkol sa paghatol, sapagka't ang prinsipe ng sanglibutang ito ay hinatulan na.

12 Mayroon pa akong maraming bagay na sa inyo ay sasabihin, nguni't ngayon ay hindi ninyo mangatitiis.

13 Gayon ma'y kung siya, ang Espiritu ng katotohanan ay dumating, ay papatnubayan niya kayo sa buong katotohanan: sapagka't hindi siya magsasalita ng mula sa kaniyang sarili; kundi ang anomang bagay na kaniyang marinig, ang mga ito ang kaniyang sasalitain: at kaniyang ipahahayag sa inyo ang mga bagay na magsisidating.

14 Luluwalhatiin niya ako: sapagka't kukuha siya sa nasa akin, at sa inyo'y ipahahayag.

15 Ang lahat ng mga bagay na nasa Ama ay akin: kaya sinabi ko, na siya'y kukuha sa nasa akin, at sa inyo'y ipahahayag.

16 Sangdali na lamang, at ako'y hindi na ninyo makikita; at muling sandali pa, at ako'y inyong makikita.

17 Ang ilan sa kaniyang mga alagad nga ay nangagsangusapan, Ano itong sinasabi niya sa atin, Sangdali na lamang, at ako'y hindi na ninyo makikita; at muling sangdali pa, at ako'y inyong makikita: at, Sapagka't ako'y paroroon sa Ama?

18 Sinabi nga nila, Ano nga itong sinasabi niya, Sangdali na lamang? Hindi namin nalalaman kung ano ang sinasabi niya.

19 Natalastas ni Jesus na sa kaniya'y ibig nilang itanong, at sa kanila'y sinabi niya, Nangagtatanungan kayo tungkol dito sa aking sinabi, Sangdali na lamang, at ako'y hindi na ninyo makikita, at muling sangdali pa, at ako'y inyong makikita?

20 Katotohanan, katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, na kayo'y magsisiiyak at magsisipanaghoy, datapuwa't ang sanglibutan ay magagalak: kayo'y mangalulumbay, datapuwa't ang inyong kalumbayan ay magiging kagalakan.

21 Ang babae pagka nanganganak ay nalulumbay, sapagka't dumating ang kaniyang oras: nguni't pagkapanganak niya sa sanggol, ay hindi na niya naalaala ang hirap dahil sa kagalakan sa pagkapanganak sa isang tao sa sanglibutan.

22 At kayo nga sa ngayon ay may kalumbayan: nguni't muli ko kayong makikita, at magagalak ang inyong puso, at walang makapagaalis sa inyo ng inyong kagalakan.

23 At sa araw na yaon ay hindi kayo magtatanong sa akin ng anomang tanong. Katotohanan, katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, Kung kayo'y hihingi ng anoman sa Ama, ay ibibigay niya sa inyo sa aking pangalan.

24 Hanggang ngayo'y wala pa kayong hinihinging anoman sa pangalan ko: kayo'y magsihingi, at kayo'y tatanggap, upang malubos ang inyong kagalakan.

25 Sinalita ko sa inyo ang mga bagay na ito sa malalabong pananalita: darating ang oras, na hindi ko na kayo pagsasalitaan sa malalabong pananalita, kundi maliwanag na sa inyo'y sasaysayin ko ang tungkol sa Ama.

26 Sa araw na yao'y magsisihingi kayo sa aking pangalan: at sa inyo'y hindi ko sinasabi, na kayo'y idadalangin ko sa Ama;

27 Sapagka't ang Ama rin ang umiibig sa inyo, sapagka't ako'y inyong inibig, at kayo'y nagsisampalataya na ako'y nagbuhat sa Ama.

28 Nagbuhat ako sa Ama, at naparito ako sa sanglibutan: muling iniiwan ko ang sanglibutan, at ako'y paroroon sa Ama.

29 Sinasabi ng kaniyang mga alagad, Narito, ngayo'y nagsasalita kang malinaw, at wala kang sinasalitang anomang malabong pananalita.

30 Ngayon ay nakikilala namin na nalalaman mo ang lahat ng mga bagay, at hindi nangangailangan na tanungin ka ng sinoman: dahil dito'y nagsisisampalataya kami na ikaw ay nagbuhat sa Dios.

31 Sinagot sila ni Jesus, Ngayon baga'y nagsisisampalataya kayo?

32 Narito, ang oras ay dumarating, oo, dumating na, na kayo'y mangangalat, ang bawa't tao sa kanikaniyang sarili, at ako'y iiwan ninyong magisa: at gayon ma'y hindi ako nagiisa, sapagka't ang Ama ay sumasa akin.

33 Ang mga bagay na ito ay sinalita ko sa inyo, upang kayo'y magkaroon sa akin ng kapayapaan. Sa sanglibutan ay mayroon kayong kapighatian: nguni't laksan ninyo ang loob; aking dinaig ang sanglibutan.

Jesus Warns and Comforts His Disciples

16 “These things I have spoken to you, that you (A)should not be made to stumble. (B)They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming (C)that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service. And (D)these things they will do [a]to you because they have not known the Father nor Me. But these things I have told you, that when [b]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

“But now I (E)go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’ But because I have said these things to you, (F)sorrow has filled your heart. 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 (G)if I depart, I will send Him to you. And when He has (H)come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: (I)of sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10 (J)of righteousness, (K)because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; 11 (L)of judgment, because (M)the ruler of this world is judged.

12 “I still have many things to say to you, (N)but you cannot bear them now. 13 However, when He, (O)the Spirit of truth, has come, (P)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 (Q)He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. 15 (R)All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He [c]will take of Mine and declare it to you.

Sorrow Will Turn to Joy

16 “A (S)little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me, (T)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 [d]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 (U)lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into (V)joy. 21 (W)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 (X)your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you.

23 “And in that day you will ask Me nothing. (Y)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, (Z)that your joy may be (AA)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 (AB)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 (AC)for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and (AD)have believed that I came forth from God. 28 (AE)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 (AF)You know all things, and have no need that anyone should question You. By this (AG)we believe that You came forth from God.”

31 Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? 32 (AH)Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, (AI)each to his [e]own, and will leave Me alone. And (AJ)yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. 33 These things I have spoken to you, that (AK)in Me you may have peace. (AL)In the world you [f]will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, (AM)I have overcome the world.”

Jesus’ Warning

16 (A)These things I have spoken to you so that you may be kept from (B)stumbling. [a]They will (C)make you outcasts from the synagogue, but (D)an hour is coming for everyone (E)who kills you to think that he is offering service to God. These things they will do (F)because they have not known the Father or Me. But these things I have spoken to you, (G)so that when their hour comes, you [b]may remember that I told you of them. These things I did not say to you (H)at the beginning, because I was with you.

The Holy Spirit Promised

“But now (I)I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, ‘(J)Where are You going?’ But because I have said these things to you, (K)sorrow has filled your heart. But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the [c](L)Helper will not come to you; but if I go, (M)I will send Him to you. And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment; concerning sin, (N)because they do not believe in Me; 10 and concerning (O)righteousness, because (P)I go to the Father and you no longer see Me; 11 (Q)and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

12 “I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 But when He, (R)the Spirit of truth, comes, He will (S)guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. 14 He will (T)glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you. 15 (U)All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you.

Jesus’ Death and Resurrection Foretold

16 (V)A little while, and (W)you will no longer see Me; and again a little while, and (X)you will see Me.” 17 Some of His disciples then said to one another, “What is this thing He is telling us, (Y)A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me’; and, ‘because (Z)I go to the Father’?” 18 So they were saying, “What is this that He says, ‘A little while’? We do not know what He is talking about.” 19 (AA)Jesus knew that they wished to question Him, and He said to them, “Are you deliberating together about this, that I said, ‘A little while, and you will not see Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me’? 20 Truly, truly, I say to you, that (AB)you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will grieve, but (AC)your grief will be turned into joy. 21 (AD)Whenever a woman is in labor she has [d]pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a [e]child has been born into the world. 22 Therefore (AE)you too have grief now; but (AF)I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.

Prayer Promises

23 (AG)In that day (AH)you will not question Me about anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, (AI)if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you. 24 (AJ)Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your (AK)joy may be made full.

25 “These things I have spoken to you in [f](AL)figurative language; (AM)an hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in [g]figurative language, but will tell you plainly of the Father. 26 (AN)In that day (AO)you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I will request of the Father on your behalf; 27 for (AP)the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and (AQ)have believed that (AR)I came forth from the Father. 28 (AS)I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; I am leaving the world again and (AT)going to the Father.”

29 His disciples *said, “Lo, now You are speaking plainly and are not [h]using (AU)a figure of speech. 30 Now we know that You know all things, and have no need for anyone to question You; by this we (AV)believe that You (AW)came from God.” 31 Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? 32 Behold, (AX)an hour is coming, and has already come, for (AY)you to be scattered, each to (AZ)his own home, and to leave Me alone; and yet (BA)I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. 33 These things I have spoken to you, so that (BB)in Me you may have peace. (BC)In the world you have tribulation, but (BD)take courage; (BE)I have overcome the world.”
