Verse
John - ch 16 v 1 - 20
- "These things have I spoken to you, so that you wouldn't be caused to stumble.
- They will put you out of the synagogues. Yes, the time comes that whoever kills you will think that he offers service to God.
- They will do these things1 because they have not known the Father, nor me.
- 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.
- But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?'
- But because I have told you these things, sorrow has filled your heart.
- 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.
- When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment;
- about sin, because they don't believe in me;
- about righteousness, because I am going to my Father, and you won't see me any more;
- about judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.
- "I have yet many things to tell you, but you can't bear them now.
- 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.
- He will glorify me, for he will take from what is mine, and will declare it to you.
- All things whatever the Father has are mine; therefore I said that he takes2 of mine, and will declare it to you.
- A little while, and you will not see me. Again a little while, and you will see me."
- 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?'"
- They said therefore, "What is this that he says, 'A little while?' We don't know what he is saying."
- 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?'
- 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.
- TR adds "to you"
- TR reads "will take" instead of "takes"
