1   These things have I spoken unto you, that you should not be offended.
2   They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time comes, that whosoever kills you will think that he does 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, you may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.

Jesus’ Departure Brings the Holy Spirit
5   But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asks me, Where do you go?
6   But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow has 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 convict 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 you 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 you cannot bear them now.
13   But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of  himself; but whatsoever  he  shall  hear,  that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.
14   He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you.
15   All things that the Father has are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show it unto you.
16   A little while, and you shall not see me: and again, a little while, and you shall see me, because I go to the Father.

Grief Will Turn to Joy
17   Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he said unto us, A little while, and you shall not see me: and again, a little while, and you shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?
18   They said therefore, What is this that he said, A little while? we cannot tell what he said.
19   Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do you inquire among yourselves of what I said, A little while, and  you  shall  not  see  me:  and  again,  a  little while, and you shall see me?
20   Verily, verily, I say unto you, That you shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and you shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
21   A woman when she is in travail has sorrow, because her hour has come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembers no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
22   And you now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man takes from you.

Prayers Will Be Answered
23   And in that day you shall ask me nothing. Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  whatsoever  you shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it to you.
24   Until now have you asked nothing in my name: ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full.
25   These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time comes, when I shall no more  speak  unto  you  in  proverbs,  but  I  shall show you plainly of the Father.
26   At that day you shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:
27   For the Father himself loves you, because you  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 speak you plainly, and speak no proverb.
30    Now are we sure that you know all things, and need not that any man should ask you: but this we believe that you came forth from God.
31   Jesus  answered  them,  Do  you  now believe?
32   Behold, the hour comes, yea, is now come, that  you  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 you might have peace. In the world you shall  have  tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
