约翰福音 16
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
16 “我把這些事告訴了你們,使你們不致後退。 2 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。 3 他們要作這些事,因為他們不認識父,也不認識我。 4 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。 5 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?’ 6 然而因為我把這些事告訴了你們,你們心裡就充滿憂愁。 7 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。 8 他來了,就要在罪、在義、在審判各方面指證世人的罪。 9 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。”
John 16
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
16 ‘I have said these things to you to keep you from stumbling. 2 They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, an hour is coming when those who kill you will think that by doing so they are offering worship to God. 3 And they will do this because they have not known the Father or me. 4 But I have said these things to you so that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you about them.
The Work of the Spirit
‘I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you. 5 But now I am going to him who sent me; yet none of you asks me, “Where are you going?” 6 But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts. 7 Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Advocate[a] will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. 8 And when he comes, he will prove the world wrong about[b] sin and righteousness and judgement: 9 about sin, because they do not believe in me; 10 about righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will see me no longer; 11 about judgement, because the ruler of this world has been condemned.
12 ‘I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own, but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. 14 He will glorify me, because he will take what is mine and declare it to you. 15 All that the Father has is mine. For this reason I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
Sorrow Will Turn into Joy
16 ‘A little while, and you will no longer see me, and again a little while, and you will see me.’ 17 Then some of his disciples said to one another, ‘What does he mean by saying to us, “A little while, and you will no longer see me, and again a little while, and you will see me”; and “Because I am going to the Father”?’ 18 They said, ‘What does he mean by this “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 discussing among yourselves what I meant when I said, “A little while, and you will no longer see me, and again a little while, and you will see me”? 20 Very truly, I tell you, you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice; you will have pain, but your pain will turn into joy. 21 When a woman is in labour, she has pain, because her hour has come. But when her child is born, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy of having brought a human being into the world. 22 So you have pain now; but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you. 23 On that day you will ask nothing of me.[c] Very truly, I tell you, if you ask anything of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.[d] 24 Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.
Peace for the Disciples
25 ‘I have said these things to you in figures of speech. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures, but will tell you plainly of the Father. 26 On that day you will ask in my name. I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf; 27 for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.[e] 28 I came from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and am going to the Father.’
29 His disciples said, ‘Yes, now you are speaking plainly, not in any figure of speech! 30 Now we know that you know all things, and do not need to have anyone question you; by this we believe that you came from God.’ 31 Jesus answered them, ‘Do you now believe? 32 The hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, each one to his home, and you will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone because the Father is with me. 33 I have said this to you, so that in me you may have peace. In the world you face persecution. But take courage; I have conquered the world!’

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.”
