John 16:25-17:8
New International Version
John 16:25-17:8
New International Version
25 “Though I have been speaking figuratively,(A) a time is coming(B) 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.(C) 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(D) and have believed that I came from God.(E) 28 I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.”(F)
29 Then Jesus’ disciples said, “Now you are speaking clearly and without figures of speech.(G) 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(H) that you came from God.”(I)
31 “Do you now believe?” Jesus replied. 32 “A time is coming(J) and in fact has come when you will be scattered,(K) each to your own home. You will leave me all alone.(L) Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me.(M)
33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace.(N) In this world you will have trouble.(O) But take heart! I have overcome(P) the world.”
Jesus Prays to Be Glorified
17 After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven(Q) and prayed:
“Father, the hour has come.(R) Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.(S) 2 For you granted him authority over all people(T) that he might give eternal life(U) to all those you have given him.(V) 3 Now this is eternal life: that they know you,(W) the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.(X) 4 I have brought you glory(Y) on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do.(Z) 5 And now, Father, glorify me(AA) in your presence with the glory I had with you(AB) before the world began.(AC)
Jesus Prays for His Disciples
6 “I have revealed you[a](AD) to those whom you gave me(AE) out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. 7 Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. 8 For I gave them the words you gave me(AF) and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you,(AG) and they believed that you sent me.(AH)

John 16:25-17:8
King James Version
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.
17 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
