16 Não fostes vós que me escolhestes a mim; pelo contrário, eu vos escolhi a vós outros e vos designei para que vades e deis fruto, e o vosso fruto permaneça; a fim de que tudo quanto pedirdes ao Pai em meu nome, ele vo-lo conceda.

16 Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should abide: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit —fruit that will last —and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.
