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.”

Het werk van de Heilige Geest (vervolg)
16 Ik vertel jullie dit, zodat jullie je geloof niet zullen verliezen door wat de mensen jullie aandoen. 2 Ze zullen jullie verbieden om nog in de synagogen te komen. Ze zullen jullie doden. Ze zullen zelfs denken dat ze God daarmee een groot plezier doen. 3 En ze zullen dat doen omdat ze de Vader en Mij niet kennen. 4 Ik zeg het jullie nu alvast. Wanneer het dan gebeurt, zullen jullie je herinneren dat Ik jullie daar al voor gewaarschuwd had. Ik heb jullie deze dingen nog niet eerder verteld, omdat Ik nog bij jullie was. 5 Maar nu ga Ik naar Hem die Mij heeft gestuurd. Niemand van jullie vraagt waar Ik heen ga. 6 Want jullie zijn verdrietig geworden door wat Ik heb verteld. 7 Maar geloof Mij: het is beter voor jullie dat Ik wegga. Want als Ik niet wegga, kan de Helper niet naar jullie toe komen. Maar als Ik wel wegga, kan Ik Hem naar jullie toe sturen. 8 En als Hij gekomen is, zal Hij de mensen overtuigen. Hij zal hen ervan overtuigen dat ze ongehoorzaam zijn aan God, dat God rechtvaardig is en dat Hij zal rechtspreken. 9 Hij zal hun laten zien dat ze ongehoorzaam zijn aan Hem, omdat ze niet in Mij geloven. 10 Hij zal hun laten zien dat God rechtvaardig is, omdat Ik naar de Vader ga en jullie Mij niet langer zien. 11 Hij zal hun laten zien dat God rechtspreekt, omdat God de heerser van de wereld heeft verslagen en veroordeeld.
12 Ik heb jullie nog veel te vertellen, maar jullie kunnen dat nu nog niet aan. 13 Maar als de Geest van de waarheid gekomen is, zal Hij jullie de hele waarheid laten zien. Want Hij zal niet Zelf bedenken wat Hij zal zeggen. Hij zal zeggen wat Hij van God moet zeggen. En Hij zal jullie vertellen wat er in de toekomst gaat gebeuren. 14 Hij zal Mij eren, want Hij zal jullie vertellen over alles wat van Mij is. 15 Alles wat van de Vader is, is van Mij. Daarom zei Ik dat Hij jullie zal vertellen over alles wat van Mij is."
Jezus legt uit waarom zijn leerlingen niet verdrietig hoeven te zijn
16 Jezus zei: "Nog maar even en dan zullen jullie Mij niet meer zien. En wéér even en jullie zullen Mij weer zien. Want Ik ga naar de Vader." 17 Een paar van zijn leerlingen zeiden tegen elkaar: "Wat bedoelt Hij daarmee: 'Nog maar even en dan zullen jullie Mij niet meer zien, en wéér even en jullie zullen Mij weer zien'? En met: 'Ik ga naar de Vader'? 18 En wat is dan 'even'? We begrijpen niet wat Hij bedoelt." 19 Jezus merkte dat ze Hem iets wilden vragen. Daarom zei Hij: "Hebben jullie het er met elkaar over dat Ik zei: 'Nog even en dan zullen jullie Mij niet meer zien, en wéér even en jullie zullen Mij weer zien'? 20 Luister goed! Ik zeg jullie dat jullie vreselijk verdrietig zullen zijn. Maar de mensen die Mij niet geloven, zullen blij zijn. Jullie zullen verdrietig zijn, maar jullie verdriet zal veranderen in blijdschap. 21 Als een vrouw een kind krijgt, heeft ze pijn. Maar als het kind er eenmaal is, is ze daar zó blij mee, dat ze niet meer aan de pijn denkt. 22 Jullie hebben nu wel verdriet, maar Ik zal jullie terugzien. Dan zullen jullie blij zijn en niemand kan jullie die blijdschap afnemen. 23 Dan zullen jullie Mij niets meer vragen omdat jullie dan alles begrijpen. Luister goed! Ik zeg jullie dat als jullie de Vader om iets zullen bidden, dan zal Hij het jullie geven omdat jullie bij Mij horen. 24 Tot nu toe hebben jullie nooit God om iets gebeden omdat jullie bij Mij horen.[a] Doe dat, dan zullen jullie krijgen wat jullie bidden, zodat jullie heel erg blij zullen zijn.
25 Ik heb jullie hier al over verteld in de vorm van verhalen. Maar er komt een moment dat Ik jullie niet meer met verhalen over de Vader zal vertellen. Dan zal alles helder en duidelijk zijn. 26 Dan zullen jullie de Vader om iets bidden omdat jullie bij Mij horen. Ik zeg niet dat Ík voor jullie iets aan de Vader zal vragen. 27 Want de Vader houdt Zelf van jullie, omdat jullie van Mij houden en hebben geloofd dat Ik bij God vandaan ben gekomen. 28 Ik ben bij de Vader vandaan gekomen en naar de aarde gegaan. Ik ga ook weer van de aarde weg, terug naar de Vader."
29 Zijn leerlingen zeiden: "Nu is het helemaal duidelijk wat U zegt, nu U niet meer in de vorm van verhalen vertelt. 30 Nu weten we dat U alles weet. Het is voor U niet nodig dat iemand U iets vraagt. U weet alles al. Daarom geloven we dat U bij God vandaan bent gekomen." 31 Jezus antwoordde: "Geloven jullie het nu? 32 Let op, nu is het moment gekomen dat jullie uit elkaar gejaagd zullen worden. Jullie zullen allemaal naar huis vluchten. Mij zullen jullie in de steek laten. En toch ben Ik niet alleen, want de Vader is bij Mij. 33 Ik heb jullie dit allemaal gezegd, zodat mijn vrede in jullie zou kunnen zijn. Jullie zullen in de wereld veel moeilijkheden hebben. Maar houd moed: Ik heb de wereld overwonnen."

New International Version
John 16
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.”

John 16
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.
