16 “我已将这些事告诉你们,使你们不至于跌倒。 人要把你们赶出会堂,并且时候将到,凡杀你们的就以为是侍奉神。 他们这样行,是因未曾认识父,也未曾认识我。 我将这事告诉你们,是叫你们到了时候,可以想起我对你们说过了。我起先没有将这些事告诉你们,因为我与你们同在。 现今我往差我来的父那里去,你们中间并没有人问我:‘你往哪里去?’ 只因我将这事告诉你们,你们就满心忧愁。 然而我将真情告诉你们,我去是于你们有益的。我若不去,保惠师就不到你们这里来;我若去,就差他来。 他既来了,就要叫世人为罪、为义、为审判,自己责备自己。 为罪,是因他们不信我; 10 为义,是因我往父那里去,你们就不再见我; 11 为审判,是因这世界的王受了审判。

主要引导门徒进入真理

12 “我还有好些事要告诉你们,但你们现在担当不了[a] 13 只等真理的圣灵来了,他要引导你们明白[b]一切的真理,因为他不是凭自己说的,乃是把他所听见的都说出来,并要把将来的事告诉你们。 14 他要荣耀我,因为他要将受于我的告诉你们。 15 凡父所有的,都是我的,所以我说,他要将受于我的告诉你们。 16 等不多时,你们就不得见我;再等不多时,你们还要见我。” 17 有几个门徒就彼此说:“他对我们说‘等不多时,你们就不得见我;再等不多时,你们还要见我’‘因我往父那里去’,这是什么意思呢?” 18 门徒彼此说:“他说‘等不多时’,到底是什么意思呢?我们不明白他所说的话。” 19 耶稣看出他们要问他,就说:“我说‘等不多时,你们就不得见我;再等不多时,你们还要见我’,你们为这话彼此相问吗? 20 我实实在在地告诉你们:你们将要痛哭、哀号,世人倒要喜乐。你们将要忧愁,然而你们的忧愁要变为喜乐。 21 妇人生产的时候就忧愁,因为她的时候到了;既生了孩子,就不再记念那苦楚,因为欢喜世上生了一个人。 22 你们现在也是忧愁,但我要再见你们,你们的心就喜乐了,这喜乐也没有人能夺去。

靠主名求父必要得着

23 “到那日,你们什么也就不问我了。我实实在在地告诉你们:你们若向父求什么,他必因我的名赐给你们。 24 向来你们没有奉我的名求什么,如今你们求,就必得着,叫你们的喜乐可以满足。

25 “这些事,我是用比喻对你们说的。时候将到,我不再用比喻对你们说,乃要将父明明地告诉你们。 26 到那日,你们要奉我的名祈求。我并不对你们说,我要为你们求父; 27 父自己爱你们,因为你们已经爱我,又信我是从父出来的。 28 我从父出来,到了世界;我又离开世界,往父那里去。” 29 门徒说:“如今你是明说,并不用比喻了。 30 现在我们晓得你凡事都知道,也不用人问你,因此我们信你是从神出来的。” 31 耶稣说:“现在你们信吗? 32 看哪,时候将到,且是已经到了,你们要分散,各归自己的地方去,留下我独自一人;其实我不是独自一人,因为有父与我同在。 33 我将这些事告诉你们,是要叫你们在我里面有平安。在世上你们有苦难,但你们可以放心,我已经胜了世界。”

16 “我把这些事告诉了你们,免得你们被绊倒[a] 他们将要把你们赶出会堂。不但如此,时候就要到了!那杀你们的人,都会以为自己是在事奉神[b] 他们做这些事,是因为不认识父,也不认识我。 不过我把这些事告诉了你们,是为了当事情发生的时候,你们会记起我对你们说过了。我当初没有告诉你们这些事,是因为我一直与你们在一起。

圣灵的工作

“现在我要回到派我来的那一位面前,你们当中却没有人问我:‘你要到哪里去?’ 只因为我对你们说了这些话,你们心里就充满了忧伤。 但我把真相告诉你们:我离去对你们是有益处的,因为我如果不去,慰助者就不会到你们这里来;如果我去了,我就会派遣他到你们这里来。 他来了,要在关于罪、关于义、关于审判的事上,使世界知罪。 关于罪,是因为世界不信我; 10 关于义,是因为我到父那里去,而你们不再看到我了; 11 关于审判,是因为世界的那掌权者已经被定罪了。

12 “我还有很多事要告诉你们,可是你们现在担当不了, 13 不过当那位真理的灵来了,他就会引导你们进入一切真理[c]。那时,他不会凭着自己说话,只把所听到的说出来,并且把那些就要来的事传讲给你们。 14 他将荣耀我,因为他将从我领受,并传讲给你们。 15 父所拥有的一切,都是我的。所以我说,圣灵将从我领受,并传讲给你们。

忧伤变成喜乐

16 “过一会儿,你们就不再看到我了;再过一会儿,你们又将见到我[d]。”

17 于是他的门徒当中有的彼此问:“他对我们说‘过一会儿,你们就看不到我了;再过一会儿,你们又将见到我’,还说‘是因为我要到父那里去’,这是什么意思呢?” 18 他们又说:“他说的[e]‘过一会儿’是什么意思呢?我们不明白他在说什么。”

19 耶稣知道他们想要问他,就对他们说:“我刚才说‘过一会儿,你们就看不到我了;再过一会儿,你们又将见到我’,你们就为了这话彼此议论吗?

20 “我确确实实地告诉你们:你们将会痛哭、哀号,这世界反而会喜乐;你们将会忧伤,然而你们的忧伤要变成喜乐。 21 妇人生产的时候会有忧虑,因为她的时候到了;但是生了孩子以后,她就因着有人出生到世上的喜乐,而不再记住那痛苦了。 22 这样,你们现在虽然也有忧虑,但是我会再见到你们,你们心里将喜乐,并且没有人能夺去你们的喜乐。 23 在那一天,你们什么也不会问我了。

“我确确实实地告诉你们:你们奉我的名无论向父求什么,他都将赐给你们。 24 直到如今,你们没有奉我的名求过什么。你们祈求吧!就会得到,好使你们的喜乐得以满足。

耶稣胜了世界

25 “我用比喻对你们说了这些话。但是时候就要到了!那时我不再用比喻对你们说话,而是要明确地告诉你们有关父的事。 26 在那一天,你们会奉我的名祈求,而且我并不是说我要替你们向父祈求。 27 要知道,父自己爱你们,因为你们已经爱我,并且相信我是从神[f]而来的。 28 我从父而出,来到这世界;又要离开这世界,到父那里去。”

29 他的门徒们说:“看,如今你说得明明白白,而不说比喻了。 30 现在我们已经明白你知道一切,也不需要任何人问你,从这一点我们就相信你是从神而来的。”

31 耶稣对他们说:“你们现在相信吗? 32 看哪,时候就要到了,而且已经到了!你们要被驱散,每个人到自己的地方,留下我一个人。其实我不是独自一人,因为父与我同在。 33 我把这些事告诉了你们,好让你们在我里面有平安。在世上你们有患难,然而你们要鼓起勇气!我已经胜过了这世界。”

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 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.
