## 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."
