1 I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away. 2 xch. 9:22; 12:42 They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed,ySee ch. 4:21 the hour is coming whenzActs 8:1; 9:1; 26:9-11 whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. 3 And they will do these thingsach. 8:19, 55; 15:21; 17:25 because they have not known the Father, nor me.
4 Butbch. 13:19; 14:29 I have said these things to you, that whencSee Luke 22:53 their hour comes you may remember that I told them to you. I did not say these things to you from the beginning,d[Matt. 9:15] because I was with you. 5 But noweSee ch. 14:12 I am going to him who sent me, andf[ch. 13:36; 14:5] none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going? ’ 6 But because I have said these things to you,gver. 22; ch. 14:1 sorrow has filled your heart. 7 Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, forhch. 7:39 if I do not go away,ich. 15:26; [ch. 14:16] the Helper will not come to you. Butj[Acts 2:33] ifkch. 14:2 I go,lSee ch. 14:26 I will send him to you. 8 m[ch. 8:28] And when he comes, he willn[ch. 8:46] convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 concerning sin,och. 8:24; [Acts 2:36, 37; 1 Cor. 12:3] because they do not believe in me; 10 p[Acts 17:31] concerning righteousness,qver. 16, 17, 19 because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer; 11 rSee ch. 12:31 concerning judgment, because the ruler of this worlds[Col. 2:15; Heb. 2:14] is judged.
12 I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 WhentSee ch. 14:17 the Spirit of truth comes,uSee ch. 14:26 he willvActs 8:31; [ch. 1:17; 14:6; Ps. 25:5] guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, butw[ch. 15:15] whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. 14 He willxSee ch. 7:39 glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. 15 ych. 17:10 All that the Father has is mine;zver. 14 therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
16 aSee ch. 7:33 A little while, and you will see me no longer; andb[ver. 22] again a little while, and you will see me. ” 17 Soc[Mark 9:10, 32] some of his disciples said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, dver. 16 ‘A little while, and you will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me ’; and, ever. 10 ‘because I am going to the Father ’ ? ” 18 So they were saying, “What does he mean by ‘a little while ’ ?f[ch. 14:5] We do not know what he is talking about. ” 19 g[ver. 30]; See ch. 2:24, 25 Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, so he said to them, “Is this what you are asking yourselves, what I meant by saying, ‘A little while and you will not see me, and again a little while and you will see me ’? 20 Truly, truly, I say to you,hMatt. 9:15; Mark 16:10; Luke 23:27 you will weep and lament, buti[Rev. 11:10] the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, butjJer. 31:13; See Matt. 5:4 your sorrow will turn into joy. 21 kIsa. 26:17; [Ps. 48:6; Isa. 13:8; 1 Thess. 5:3; Rev. 12:2] When a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world. 22 lver. 6; [2 Cor. 6:10] So also you have sorrow now, butm[ver. 16] I will see you again andnPs. 33:21; Isa. 66:14; Luke 24:52; Acts 2:46; 8:8, 39; 13:52 your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you. 23 over. 26; ch. 14:20 In that day you willpver. 19, 30 ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you,qSee ch. 14:13 whatever you ask of the Father in my name,rch. 15:16; [Eph. 1:3] he will give it to you. 24 Until now you have asked nothing in my name.sSee Matt. 7:7 Ask, and you will receive,tSee ch. 15:11 that your joy may be full.
25 I have said these things to you in figures of speech.uver. 2 The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech but will tell you plainly about the Father. 26 In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf; 27 v[ch. 14:21, 23; 17:23] for the Father himself loves you, becausewch. 21:15-17; [1 Cor. 16:22] you have loved me andxver. 30; ch. 17:8 have believed that I came from God. 28 ych. 8:14; 13:3 I came from the Father and have come into the world, and nowzSee ch. 14:12 I am leaving the world and going to the Father. ”
29 His disciples said, “Ah, now you are speaking plainly and notaver. 25 using figurative speech! 30 Now we know thatbch. 21:17; See ch. 2:24, 25 you know all things and do not need anyone to question you; this is why we believe thatc[ver. 27, 28; ch. 3:2] you came from God. ” 31 Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? 32 Behold,d[ch. 4:21, 23] the hour is coming, indeed it has come, wheneMatt. 26:31; Mark 14:27 you will be scattered, each to his own home, andf[Isa. 63:5] will leave me alone.gSee ch. 8:16, 29 Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me. 33 I have said these things to you, thathSee ch. 14:27; Col. 3:15 in me you may have peace.i[ch. 15:18-21] In the world you will havejRev. 1:9; See Acts 14:22 tribulation. Butkch. 14:1, 27 take heart;l[Rom. 8:37; 1 John 4:4; 5:4, 5; Rev. 3:21; 12:11] I have overcome the world. ”
