16 »Detta har jag talat till eder, för att I icke skolen komma på fall.

Man skall utstöta eder ur synagogorna; ja, den tid kommer, då vemhelst som dräper eder skall mena sig därmed förrätta offertjänst åt Gud.

Och så skola de göra, därför att de icke hava lärt känna Fadern, ej heller mig.

Men detta har jag talat till eder, för att I, när den tiden är inne, skolen komma ihåg att jag har sagt eder det. Jag sade eder det icke från begynnelsen, ty jag var ju hos eder.

Och nu går jag bort till honom som har sänt mig; och ingen av eder frågar mig vart jag går.

Men edra hjärtan äro uppfyllda av bedrövelse, därför att jag har sagt eder detta.

Dock säger jag eder sanningen: Det är nyttigt för eder att jag går bort, ty om jag icke ginge bort, så komme icke Hjälparen till eder; men då jag nu går bort, skall jag sända honom till eder.

Och när han kommer, skall han låta världen få veta sanningen i fråga om synd och rättfärdighet och dom:

i fråga om synd, ty de tro icke på mig;

10 i fråga om rättfärdighet, ty jag går till Fadern, och I sen mig icke mer;

11 i fråga om dom, ty denna världens furste är nu dömd.

12 Jag hade ännu mycket att säga eder, men I kunnen icke nu bära det.

13 Men när han kommer, som är sanningens Ande, då skall han leda eder fram till hela sanningen. Ty han skall icke tala av sig själv, utan vad han hör, allt det skall han tala; och han skall förkunna för eder vad komma skall.

14 Han skall förhärliga mig, ty av mitt skall han taga och skall förkunna det för eder.

15 Allt vad Fadern har, det är mitt; därför sade jag att han skall taga av mitt och förkunna det för eder.

16 En liten tid, och I sen mig icke mer; och åter en liten tid, och I fån se mig.»

17 Då sade några av hans lärjungar till varandra: »Vad är detta som han säger till oss: 'En liten tid, och I sen mig icke; och åter en liten tid, och I fån se mig', så ock: 'Jag går till Fadern'?»

18 De sade alltså: »Vad är detta som han säger: 'En liten tid'? Vi förstå icke vad han talar.»

19 Då märkte Jesus att de ville fråga honom, och han sade till dem: »I talen med varandra om detta som jag sade: 'En liten tid, och I sen mig icke; och åter en liten tid, och I fån se mig.'

20 Sannerligen, sannerligen säger jag eder: I skolen bliva bedrövade, men eder bedrövelse skall vändas i glädje.

21 När en kvinna föder barn, har hon bedrövelse, ty hennes stund är kommen; men när hon har fött barnet, kommer hon icke mer ihåg sin vedermöda, ty hon gläder sig över att en människa är född till världen.

22 Så haven ock I nu bedrövelse; men jag skall se eder åter, och då skola edra hjärtan glädja sig, och ingen skall taga eder glädje ifrån eder.

23 Och på den dagen skolen I icke fråga mig om något. Sannerligen, sannerligen säger jag eder: Vad I bedjen Fadern om, det skall han giva eder i mitt namn.

24 Hittills haven I icke bett om något i mitt namn; bedjen, och I skolen få, för att eder glädje skall bliva fullkomlig.

25 Detta har jag talat till eder i förtäckta ord; den tid kommer, då jag icke mer skall tala till eder i förtäckta ord, utan öppet förkunna för eder om Fadern.

26 På den dagen skolen I bedja i mitt namn. Och jag säger eder icke att jag skall bedja Fadern för eder,

27 ty Fadern själv älskar eder, eftersom I haven älskat mig och haven trott att jag är utgången från Gud.

28 Ja, jag har gått ut ifrån Fadern och har kommit i världen; åter lämnar jag världen och går till Fadern.»

29 Då sade hans lärjungar: »Se, nu talar du öppet och brukar inga förtäckta ord.

30 Nu veta vi att du vet allt, och att det icke är behövligt för dig att man frågar dig; därför tro vi att du är utgången från Gud.»

31 Jesus svarade dem: »Nu tron I?

32 Se, den stund kommer, ja, den är redan kommen, så I skolen förskingras, var och en åt sitt håll, och lämna mig allena. Dock, jag är icke allena, ty Fadern är med mig.

33 Detta har jag talat till eder, för att I skolen hava frid i mig. I världen liden i betryck; men varen vid gott mod, jag har övervunnit världen.»

Jesus’ Warning

16 (A)These things I have spoken to you so that you may be kept from (B)stumbling. They will (C)put you out of 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 did not know the Father or Me. But these things I have spoken to you, (G)so that when their hour comes, you [a]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 Spirit Is Promised Again

“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 [b](L)Advocate 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 still 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 from Himself, 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.

Sorrow Turned to Joy

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 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 were wishing 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 cry and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will be sorrowful, but (AC)your sorrow will be turned into joy. 21 (AD)Whenever a woman is in labor she has sorrow, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the suffering because of the joy that a [c]child has been born into the world. 22 Therefore (AE)you too have sorrow now; but (AF)I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.

I Have Overcome the World

23 (AG)And on 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 complete.

25 “These things I have spoken to you in (AL)figures of speech; (AM)an hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you openly of the Father. 26 (AN)On 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, “Behold, now You are speaking openly and are not [d]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.”

16 Vi ho detto queste cose perché non abbiate a scandalizzarvi. Vi scacceranno dalle sinagoghe; anzi, verrà l'ora in cui chiunque vi ucciderà crederà di rendere culto a Dio. E faranno ciò, perché non hanno conosciuto né il Padre né me. Ma io vi ho detto queste cose perché, quando giungerà la loro ora, ricordiate che ve ne ho parlato.

La venuta del Paraclito

Non ve le ho dette dal principio, perché ero con voi.

Ora però vado da colui che mi ha mandato e nessuno di voi mi domanda: Dove vai? Anzi, perché vi ho detto queste cose, la tristezza ha riempito il vostro cuore. Ora io vi dico la verità: è bene per voi che io me ne vada, perché, se non me ne vado, non verrà a voi il Consolatore; ma quando me ne sarò andato, ve lo manderò. E quando sarà venuto, egli convincerà il mondo quanto al peccato, alla giustizia e al giudizio. Quanto al peccato, perché non credono in me; 10 quanto alla giustizia, perché vado dal Padre e non mi vedrete più; 11 quanto al giudizio, perché il principe di questo mondo è stato giudicato.

12 Molte cose ho ancora da dirvi, ma per il momento non siete capaci di portarne il peso. 13 Quando però verrà lo Spirito di verità, egli vi guiderà alla verità tutta intera, perché non parlerà da sé, ma dirà tutto ciò che avrà udito e vi annunzierà le cose future. 14 Egli mi glorificherà, perché prenderà del mio e ve l'annunzierà. 15 Tutto quello che il Padre possiede è mio; per questo ho detto che prenderà del mio e ve l'annunzierà.

L'annunzio di un pronto ritorno

16 Ancora un poco e non mi vedrete; un pò ancora e mi vedrete». 17 Dissero allora alcuni dei suoi discepoli tra loro: «Che cos'è questo che ci dice: Ancora un poco e non mi vedrete, e un pò ancora e mi vedrete, e questo: Perché vado al Padre?». 18 Dicevano perciò: «Che cos'è mai questo "un poco" di cui parla? Non comprendiamo quello che vuol dire». 19 Gesù capì che volevano interrogarlo e disse loro: «Andate indagando tra voi perché ho detto: Ancora un poco e non mi vedrete e un pò ancora e mi vedrete? 20 In verità, in verità vi dico: voi piangerete e vi rattristerete, ma il mondo si rallegrerà. Voi sarete afflitti, ma la vostra afflizione si cambierà in gioia.

21 La donna, quando partorisce, è afflitta, perché è giunta la sua ora; ma quando ha dato alla luce il bambino, non si ricorda più dell'afflizione per la gioia che è venuto al mondo un uomo. 22 Così anche voi, ora, siete nella tristezza; ma vi vedrò di nuovo e il vostro cuore si rallegrerà e 23 nessuno vi potrà togliere la vostra gioia. In quel giorno non mi domanderete più nulla.

In verità, in verità vi dico: Se chiederete qualche cosa al Padre nel mio nome, egli ve la darà. 24 Finora non avete chiesto nulla nel mio nome. Chiedete e otterrete, perché la vostra gioia sia piena.

25 Queste cose vi ho dette in similitudini; ma verrà l'ora in cui non vi parlerò più in similitudini, ma apertamente vi parlerò del Padre. 26 In quel giorno chiederete nel mio nome e io non vi dico che pregherò il Padre per voi: 27 il Padre stesso vi ama, poiché voi mi avete amato, e avete creduto che io sono venuto da Dio. 28 Sono uscito dal Padre e sono venuto nel mondo; ora lascio di nuovo il mondo, e vado al Padre». 29 Gli dicono i suoi discepoli: «Ecco, adesso parli chiaramente e non fai più uso di similitudini. 30 Ora conosciamo che sai tutto e non hai bisogno che alcuno t'interroghi. Per questo crediamo che sei uscito da Dio». 31 Rispose loro Gesù: «Adesso credete? 32 Ecco, verrà l'ora, anzi è gia venuta, in cui vi disperderete ciascuno per conto proprio e mi lascerete solo; ma io non sono solo, perché il Padre è con me.

33 Vi ho detto queste cose perché abbiate pace in me. Voi avrete tribolazione nel mondo, ma abbiate fiducia; io ho vinto il mondo!».

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.”
