1 These things have I said unto you because ye should not be offended.
2 They shall excommunicate you: yea the time shall come, that whosoever killeth you, will think that he doth God true service.
3 And such things will they do unto you, because they have not known the father, neither yet me.
4 But these things have I told you: that when that hour is come, ye might remember then, that I told you so. These things said I not unto you at the beginning, because I was present with you.
5 But now go I my way to him that sent me, and none of you asketh me, 'Whither goest thou?'
6 But because I have said such things unto you, your hearts are full of sorrow.
7 "Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is expedient for you that I go away. For if I go not away, that comforter will not come unto you. But if I depart, I will send him unto you.
8 And when he is come, he will rebuke 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 shall see me no more:
11 And of judgment, because the chief ruler of this world is judged already.
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, But ye cannot bear them away now.
13 Howbeit, when he is once come - I mean the spirit of truth - he will lead you into all truth. 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 unto you.
15 All things that the father hath are mine. Therefore said I unto you that he shall take of mine and show unto you.
16 "After a while ye shall not see me, and again after a while ye shall see me: For I go to the father."
17 Then said some of his disciples between themselves, "What is this that he saith unto us, 'After a while ye shall not see me, and again after a while ye shall see me: and that I go to the father?'"
18 They said therefore, "What is this that he saith, 'After a while?' We cannot tell what he saith."
19 Jesus perceived that they would ask him, and said unto them, "This is it that ye enquire of between yourselves, that I said, 'After a while ye shall not see me, and again after a while ye shall see me.'
20 Verily, verily I say unto you, Ye shall weep and lament, and the world shall rejoice. Ye shall sorrow: but your sorrow shall be turned to joy.
21 A woman when she travaileth 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 are in sorrow: but I will see you again, and your hearts shall rejoice, and your joy shall no man take from you.
23 "And in that day shall ye ask me no question. 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 it: that our joy may be full.
25 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs. The time will come when I shall no more speak to you in proverbs: but I shall show you plainly from my father.
26 At that day shall ye ask in mine name. And I say not unto you that I will speak unto my 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 went out from the father, and came into the world: and I leave the world again, and go to the father."
29 His disciples said unto him, "Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and thou usest no proverb.
30 Now know we that thou understandest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee any question. Therefore believe we that thou camest from God."
31 Jesus answered them, "Now ye do believe.
32 Behold, the hour draweth nigh, and is already come, that ye shall be scattered every man his ways, and shall leave me alone. And yet am I not alone. For the father is with me.
33 These words have I spoken unto you that in me ye might have peace. For in the world shall ye have tribulation: but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
