John 16
New American Standard Bible
Jesus’ Warning
16 “(A)These things I have spoken to you so that you will not [a]be (B)led into sin. 2 They will [b](C)ban you from the synagogue, yet (D)an hour is coming for everyone (E)who kills you to think that he is offering a [c]service to God. 3 These things they will do (F)because they have not known the Father nor Me. 4 But these things I have spoken to you, (G)so that when their hour comes, you [d]may remember that I told you of them. However, I did not say these things to you (H)at the beginning, because I was with you.
The Holy Spirit Promised
5 “But now (I)I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, ‘(J)Where are You going?’ 6 But because I have said these things to you, (K)grief has filled your heart. 7 But I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I am leaving; for if I do not leave, the [e](L)Helper will not come to you; but if I go, (M)I will send Him to you. 8 And He, when He comes, will convict the world regarding sin, and righteousness, and judgment: 9 regarding sin, (N)because they do not believe in Me; 10 and regarding (O)righteousness, because (P)I am going to the Father and you no longer are going to see Me; 11 (Q)and regarding judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
12 “I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them at the present time. 13 But when He, (R)the Spirit of truth, comes, He will (S)guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own, 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 from Mine and will disclose it to you. 15 (U)All things that the Father has are Mine; this is why I said that He takes from Mine and will disclose it to you.
Jesus’ Death and Resurrection Foretold
16 “(V)A little while, and (W)you no longer are going to see Me; and again a little while, and (X)you will see Me.” 17 So some of His disciples said to one another, “What is this that He is telling us, ‘(Y)A little while, and you are not going to see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me’; and, ‘because (Z)I am going 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 wanted to question Him, and He said to them, “Are you deliberating together about this, that I said, ‘A little while, and you are not going to see Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me’? 20 Truly, truly I say to you that (AB)you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice; you will grieve, but (AC)your grief will be turned into joy! 21 (AD)Whenever a woman is in labor she has [f]pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a [g]child has been born into the world. 22 Therefore (AE)you too have grief now; but (AF)I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one is going to take your joy away from you.
Prayer Promises
23 And (AG)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 full.
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 plainly about the Father. 26 (AN)On that day (AO)you will ask in My name, and I am not saying 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; again, I am leaving the world and (AT)going to the Father.”
29 His disciples *said, “See, now You are speaking plainly and are not [h]using any (AU)figure of speech. 30 Now we know that You know all things, and that You have no need for anyone to question You; this is why we (AV)believe that You (AW)came forth from God.” 31 Jesus replied to 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.”

King James Version
16 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
4 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.
5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?
6 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
7 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.
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 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.
Johannes 16
Svenska Folkbibeln
16 Detta har jag talat till er för att ni inte skall komma på fall. 2 Ni kommer att bli utstötta ur synagogorna, ja, den tid kommer då var och en som dödar er skall tro sig tjäna Gud. 3 Och det skall de göra, därför att de varken känner Fadern eller mig. 4 Men jag har sagt er detta, för att ni, när deras tid kommer, skall komma ihåg att jag sade det till er. Jag sade det inte till er från början, eftersom jag var hos er.
Sanningens Ande
5 Nu går jag till honom som har sänt mig, och ingen av er frågar mig: Vart går du? 6 Men eftersom jag har sagt er detta, är era hjärtan fyllda av sorg. 7 Men jag säger er sanningen: Det är bäst för er att jag går bort. Ty om jag inte går bort, kommer inte Hjälparen till er. Men när jag går bort, skall jag sända honom till er. 8 Och när han kommer, skall han överbevisa världen om synd och rättfärdighet och dom: 9 om synd, ty de tror inte på mig, 10 om rättfärdighet, ty jag går till Fadern och ni ser mig inte längre, 11 om dom, ty denna världens furste är dömd. 12 Jag har ännu mycket att säga er, men ni kan inte bära det nu. 13 Men när han kommer, sanningens Ande, då skall han föra er in i hela sanningen. Ty han skall inte tala av sig själv, utan allt det han hör skall han tala, och han skall förkunna för er vad som kommer att ske. 14 Han skall förhärliga mig, ty av det som är mitt skall han ta och förkunna för er. 15 Allt vad Fadern har är mitt. Därför sade jag att han skall ta av det som är mitt och förkunna för er.
Sorg och glädje
16 En kort tid och ni ser mig inte längre, och ännu en kort tid och ni kommer att se mig." 17 Några av hans lärjungar sade då till varandra: "Vad menar han med att säga till oss: En kort tid och ni ser mig inte längre, och ännu en kort tid och ni kommer att se mig, och med att säga: Jag går till Fadern?" 18 De frågade: "Vad menar han med att tala om en kort tid? Vi förstår inte vad han säger." 19 Jesus märkte att de ville fråga honom och sade till dem: "Ni frågar varandra om det som jag sade: En kort tid och ni ser mig inte, och ännu en kort tid och ni kommer att se mig. 20 Amen, amen säger jag er: Ni kommer att gråta och jämra er, men världen skall glädja sig. Ni kommer att sörja, men er sorg skall vändas i glädje. 21 När en kvinna föder barn har hon svåra smärtor, ty hennes stund har kommit. Men när hon har fött barnet, kommer hon inte längre ihåg sin smärta i glädjen över att en människa blivit född till världen. 22 Nu är ni också bedrövade, men jag skall se er igen, och då skall era hjärtan glädja sig, och ingen skall ta er glädje ifrån er.
Bön i Jesu namn
23 Den dagen kommer ni inte att fråga mig om något. Amen, amen säger jag er: Vad ni ber Fadern om i mitt namn, det skall han ge er. 24 Hittills har ni inte bett om något i mitt namn. Bed och ni skall få, för att er glädje skall vara fullkomlig. 25 Detta har jag talat till er i liknelser. Men det kommer en tid, då jag inte längre skall tala till er i liknelser, utan öppet förkunna för er om Fadern. 26 Den dagen skall ni be i mitt namn, och jag säger inte att jag skall be till Fadern för er, 27 ty Fadern själv älskar er, eftersom ni har älskat mig och tror att jag har utgått från Gud. 28 Ja, jag har utgått från Fadern och kommit till världen. Nu lämnar jag världen och går till Fadern." 29 Då sade hans lärjungar: "Se, nu talar du öppet och inte i liknelser. 30 Nu vet vi att du vet allt och inte är beroende av att någon frågar dig. Därför tror vi att du har utgått från Gud." 31 Jesus svarade: "Nu tror ni. 32 Se, den tid kommer, ja, den har redan kommit, då ni skall skingras var och en åt sitt håll och lämna mig ensam. Men jag är inte ensam, ty Fadern är med mig. 33 Detta har jag talat till er, för att ni skall ha frid i mig. I världen får ni lida, men var vid gott mod. Jag har övervunnit världen."
