## Jesus' Warning 

###### 1
"These things I have spoken to you so that you may be kept from stumbling. 

###### 2
They will put you out of the synagogue, but an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering service to God. 

###### 3
These things they will do because they did not know the Father or Me. 

###### 4
But these things I have spoken to you, so that when their hour comes, you may remember that I told you of them. These things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you. 

## The Spirit Is Promised Again 

###### 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 said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. 

###### 7
But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you. 

###### 8
And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment; 

###### 9
concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me; 

###### 10
and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me; 

###### 11
and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged. 

###### 12
"I still have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear _them_ now. 

###### 13
But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak from Himself, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. 

###### 14
He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose _it_ to you. 

###### 15
All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose _it_ to you. 

## Sorrow Turned to Joy 

###### 16
"A little while, and you will no longer see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me." 

###### 17
_Some_ of His disciples then said to one another, "What is this He is telling us, **'A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me'**; and, **'because I go 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
Jesus knew that they were wishing to question Him, and He said to them, **"Are you deliberating together about this, that I said, 'A little while, and you will not see Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me'?** 

###### 20
Truly, truly, I say to you, that you will cry and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy. 

###### 21
Whenever a woman is in labor she has sorrow, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the suffering because of the joy that a child has been born into the world. 

###### 22
Therefore you too have sorrow now; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one _will_ take your joy away from you. 

## I Have Overcome the World 

###### 23
And on that day you will not question Me about anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you. 

###### 24
Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made complete. 

###### 25
"These things I have spoken to you in figures of speech; an hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you openly of the Father. 

###### 26
On that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I will request of the Father on your behalf; 

###### 27
for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came forth from the Father. 

###### 28
I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; I am leaving the world again and going to the Father." 

###### 29
His disciples *said, "Behold, now You are speaking openly and are not using a figure of speech. 

###### 30
Now we know that You know all things, and have no 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, an hour is coming, and has _already_ come, for you to be scattered, each to his own _home_, and to leave Me alone; and _yet_ I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. 

###### 33
These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world."
