16 “I have said these things to you so that you wouldn’t be caused to stumble. 2 They will put you out of the synagogues. Yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers service to God. 3 They will do these things[a] because they have not known the Father nor me. 4 But I have told you these things so that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you about them. I didn’t tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you. 5 But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ 6 But because I have told you these things, sorrow has filled your heart. 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I don’t go away, the Counselor won’t come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. 8 When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment; 9 about sin, because they don’t believe in me; 10 about righteousness, because I am going to my Father, and you won’t see me any more; 11 about judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.
12 “I still have many things to tell you, but you can’t bear them now. 13 However, when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming. 14 He will glorify me, for he will take from what is mine and will declare it to you. 15 All things that the Father has are mine; therefore I said that he takes[b] of mine and will declare it to you.
16 “A little while, and you will not see me. Again a little while, and you will see me.”
17 Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ‘A little while, and you won’t 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 don’t know what he is saying.”
19 Therefore Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, “Do you inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me’? 20 Most certainly I tell you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy. 21 A woman, when she gives birth, has sorrow because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she doesn’t remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is born into the world. 22 Therefore you now have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.
23 “In that day you will ask me no questions. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. 24 Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.
25 “I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father. 26 In that day you will ask in my name; and I don’t say to you that I will pray to the Father for you, 27 for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came from God. 28 I came 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, “Behold, now you are speaking plainly, and using no figures of speech. 30 Now we know that you know all things, and don’t need for anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came from God.”
31 Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? 32 Behold, the time is coming, yes, and has now come, that you will be scattered, everyone to his own place, and you will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. 33 I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble; but cheer up! I have overcome the world.”

O Livro
16 “Disse-vos estas coisas para que não se desviem. 2 Porque serão expulsos das sinagogas. Aproxima-se o momento em que aqueles que vos matarem julgarão ter feito um serviço a Deus. 3 Porque nunca conheceram nem o Pai nem a mim. 4 Sim, digo-vos estas coisas agora para que, quando chegar o momento, se lembrem de que vos avisei. Não vos disse mais cedo, porque ia ainda estar convosco mais algum tempo.
A obra do Espírito Santo
5 Agora, volto para aquele que me enviou, mas nenhum de vocês me pergunta para onde vou. 6 Em vez disso, sentem apenas tristeza. 7 Na verdade, é melhor que eu vá, porque se eu não for não virá o Consolador. Se eu for, ele virá, pois vou enviá-lo. 8 E quando ele vier, convencerá o mundo do pecado, de que têm de contar com a justiça de Deus e de que haverá um juízo. 9 O pecado do mundo é não crer em mim. 10 Haverá justiça porque eu vou para o Pai e vocês não me verão mais. 11 O juízo virá porque o chefe deste mundo já foi julgado.
12 Ficam ainda tantas outras coisas que vos queria dizer, mas agora não as podem suportar!
13 Mas quando o Espírito da verdade vier, ele vos guiará em toda a verdade. Ele não apresentará as suas próprias ideias, mas irá transmitir aquilo que ouviu. Ele vos revelará o futuro. 14 Glorificar-me-á, pois recebê-la-á de mim e vo-la mostrará. 15 Tudo quanto o Pai tem é meu e é isto que vos quero dizer ao afirmar que a receberá de mim e vo-la mostrará.
16 Mais um pouco de tempo e terei partido, e não me tornarão a ver! Mais um pouco de tempo ainda e ver-me-ão de novo!”
A tristeza dará lugar à alegria
17 “Mas o que está ele a dizer?”, interrogavam-se os discípulos. “Que é isto quando ele diz: ‘Não me verão, mas mais tarde hão de ver-me’? Que quer dizer: ‘Eu vou para o Pai’? 18 E o que significa: ‘Um pouco mais tarde’? Não entendemos!”
19 Jesus percebeu que pretendiam que se explicasse melhor e disse: “Interrogam-se sobre o que quero dizer? 20 É realmente como vos digo: num breve tempo partirei e não me verão mais. Então um pouco mais tarde, vocês me verão de novo. O mundo ficará feliz com o que me vai acontecer e vocês chorarão. Mas o vosso choro se transformará de súbito em alegria. 21 É a mesma alegria que tem uma mulher quando nasce o seu filho, pois ao medo segue-se o encanto, e a dor fica esquecida. 22 Agora estão desgostosos, mas eu tornarei a ver-vos, e então alegrar-se-ão; e essa alegria ninguém a poderá roubar. 23 E naquele dia não precisarão de me pedir nada. É realmente como vos digo, para que o Pai vos dê tudo o que lhe pedirem em meu nome. 24 Ainda não experimentaram fazê-lo; mas peçam, invocando o meu nome, e receberão, e terão alegria abundante.
25 Falei-vos destas coisas por meio de parábolas, mas virá o momento em que isso não será necessário e de forma bem clara vos revelarei o Pai. 26 Então poderão apresentar os vossos pedidos em meu nome. E não será preciso eu pedir ao Pai por vós; 27 pois o Pai ama-vos muito por me amarem e crerem que venho dele. 28 Sim, vim do Pai a este mundo e deixarei o mundo para voltar para o Pai!”
29 “Até que enfim falas claramente e não por parábolas!”, reconheceram os discípulos. 30 “Agora compreendemos que sabes tudo e sabes até o que precisamos de conhecer, sem te interrogarmos. Por isso, acreditamos que foi de Deus que vieste.”
31 Jesus disse: “Acreditam finalmente? 32 Mas virá o momento, e é agora, em que serão espalhados, cada um seguindo o seu próprio caminho, deixando-me só. No entanto, não estarei sozinho, porque o Pai está comigo! 33 Disse-vos tudo isto para que tenham paz. Aqui na Terra terão muitos sofrimentos. Mas tenham coragem, porque eu venci o mundo!”

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.”
