   "I did not tell you these things at the beginning, because I was with you.   
   5 (Jn 13:36; 7:33) But now I am going to Him who sent Me, and none of you   
   asks Me, 'Where are You going?'   
   6 (Jn 14:1) Rather, sorrow has filled your heart because I have told you   
   these things.   
   7 (Jn 14:26; 15:26; 7:39) Nevertheless I tell you the truth:   
   It is expedient for you that I go away. For if I do not go away,   
   the Counselor will not come to you. But if I go, I will send Him to you.   
   8 (Jn 8:46) When He comes, He will convict the world of sin   
   and of righteousness and of judgment:   
   9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me;   
   10 (Jer 23:5-6; Ac 3:14) of righteousness, because I am going to My Father,   
   and you will see Me no more;   
   11 (Jn 12:31; 14:30; 2Co 4:4) and of judgment, because the ruler of this   
   world stands condemned.   
   12 (Mk 4:33) "I have yet many things to tell you,   
   but you cannot bear them now.   
   13 (Jn 14:17; 14:26; 15:26) But when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide   
   you into all truth. For He will not speak on His own authority. But He will   
   speak whatever He hears, and He will tell you things that are to come.   
   14 (1Jn 4:13-14) He will glorify Me, for He will receive from Me   
   and will declare it to you.   
   15 (Jn 17:10) All that the Father has is Mine. Therefore I said that   
   He will take what is Mine and will declare it to 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.   
   [13] Howbeit 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 shew you things to come.   
   [14] He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it   
   unto you.   
   [15] All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he   
   shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.   
      
   Sorrow Will Turn Into Joy   
      
   16 (Jn 7:33; 16:17-19) "In a little while you will not see Me. And then after   
   a little while you will see Me, because I am going to the Father."   
   17 (Jn 16:5; Mk 9:10) Then some of His disciples said among themselves,   
   "What is this He is 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'?"   
   18 Then they said, "What is this He is telling us: 'In a little while'?   
   We do not know what He is saying."   
   19 (Jn 2:24-25; 16:30) Then Jesus knew that they wanted to ask Him.   
   So He said to them, "Do you inquire among yourselves concerning what I said:   
   'In a little while you will not see Me;   
   and then after a little while you will see Me'?   
   20 (Mk 16:10; Mt 5:4) Truly, truly I say to you that you will weep and lament,   
   but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will   
   be turned into joy.   
   21 (1Th 5:3) When a woman is giving birth, she has pain, because her hour   
   has come. But as soon as she delivers the child, she no longer remembers   
   the anguish for joy that a child is born into the world.   
   22 (Jn 16:6; 1Pe 1:8) Therefore you now have sorrow. But I will see you   
   again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.   
   23 (Jn 16:19; Mt 7:7) On that day you will ask Me nothing. Truly, truly I say   
   to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give it to you.   
   24 (Jn 15:11) Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will   
   receive, that your joy may be full.   
      
   [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 inquire 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.   
      
   I Have Overcome the World   
      
   25 (Jn 16:2) "I have told you these things in proverbs. But the time is coming   
   when I will no longer speak to you in proverbs, for I will speak to you   
   plainly about the Father.   
   26 On that day you will ask in My name. I am not saying to you that   
   I shall ask the Father on your behalf.   
   27 (Jn 14:21; 14:23) For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved   
   Me, and have believed that I came from God.   
   28 (Jn 13:3; 8:14) I came from the Father and have come into the world.   
   As I said, I am leaving the world and am going to the Father."   
   29 (Jn 16:25) His disciples said to Him, "Yes! Now You are speaking plainly   
   and with no figure of speech.   
   30 (Jn 21:17) Now we know that You know everything and do not need anyone   
   to question You. By this we believe that You came from God."   
   31 Jesus answered them, "Do you now believe?   
   32 (Mt 26:31; Jn 8:29) Listen, the hour is coming. Yes, it has now come that   
   you will be scattered, each to his own home, and will leave Me alone.   
   Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with Me.   
   33 (Jn 14:27; 1Jn 4:4; Jn 14:1) "I have told you these things so that in Me   
   you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But be of good   
   cheer. I have overcome the world."   
      
   [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?
