John 16 KJV

T¹🔗hese 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.

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.
