| 1“These things I have spoken to you, that you should not be made to stumble. | 1“I have told you these things so that you will not fall away. |
| 2They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service. | 2They will put you out of the synagogues. In fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God. |
| 3And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me. | 3They will do these things because they have not known the Father or Me. |
| 4But these things I have told you, that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you of them. “And these things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you. | 4But I have told you these things so that when their hour comes, you will remember that I told you about them. I did not tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you. |
| 5“But now I go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’ | 5Now, however, I am going to Him who sent Me; yet none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’ |
| 6But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. | 6Instead, your hearts are filled with sorrow because I have told you these things. |
| 7Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. | 7But I tell you the truth, it is for your benefit that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you. |
| 8And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: | 8And when He comes, He will convict the world in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment: |
| 9of sin, because they do not believe in Me; | 9in regard to sin, because they do not believe in Me; |
| 10of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; | 10in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see Me; |
| 11of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. | 11and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world has been condemned. |
| 12“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. | 12I still have much to tell you, but you cannot yet bear to hear it. |
| 13However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. | 13However, when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and He will declare to you what is to come. |
| 14He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. | 14He will glorify Me by taking from what is Mine and disclosing it to you. |
| 15All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you. | 15Everything that belongs to the Father is Mine. That is why I said that the Spirit will take from what is Mine and disclose it to you. |
| 16“A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me, because I go to the Father.” | 16In a little while you will see Me no more, and then after a little while you will see Me.” |
| 17Then some of His disciples said among themselves, “What is this that He says to 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’?” | 17Then some of His disciples asked one another, “Why is He telling us, ‘In a little while you will not see Me, and then after a little while you will see Me’ and ‘Because I am going to the Father’?” |
| 18They said therefore, “What is this that He says, ‘A little while’? We do not know what He is saying.” | 18They kept asking, “Why is He saying, ‘a little while’? We do not understand what He is saying.” |
| 19Now Jesus knew that they desired to ask Him, and He said to them, “Are you inquiring among yourselves about what I said, ‘A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me’? | 19Aware that they wanted to question Him, Jesus said to them, “Are you asking one another why I said, ‘In a little while you will not see Me, and then after a little while you will see Me’? |
| 20Most assuredly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy. | 20Truly, truly, I tell you, you will weep and wail while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy. |
| 21A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because her hour has come; but as soon as she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world. | 21A woman has pain in childbirth because her time has come; but when she brings forth her child, she forgets her anguish because of her joy that a child has been born into the world. |
| 22Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you. | 22So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy. |
| 23“And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. | 23In that day you will no longer ask Me anything. Truly, truly, I tell you, whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you. |
| 24Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full. | 24Until now you have not asked for anything in My name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete. |
| 25“These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell you plainly about the Father. | 25I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. An hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you this way, but will tell you plainly about the Father. |
| 26In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you; | 26In that day you will ask in My name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf. |
| 27for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God. | 27For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came from God. |
| 28I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.” | 28I came from the Father and entered the world. In turn, I will leave the world and go to the Father.” |
| 29His disciples said to Him, “See, now You are speaking plainly, and using no figure of speech! | 29His disciples said, “See, now You are speaking plainly and without figures of speech. |
| 30Now we are sure that You know all things, and have no need that anyone should question You. By this we believe that You came forth from God.” | 30Now we understand that You know all things and that You have no need for anyone to question You. Because of this, we believe that You came from God.” |
| 31Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? | 31“Do you finally believe?” Jesus replied. |
| 32Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, each to his own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. | 32“Look, an hour is coming and has already come when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and you will leave Me all alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. |
| 33These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” | 33I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take courage; I have overcome the world!” |
