1 "我把这些事告诉了你们， 使你们不致后退。
2 人要把你们赶出会堂； 并且时候要到， 所有要杀害你们的人， 以为这样就是事奉 神。
3 他们要作这些事， 因为他们不认识父， 也不认识我。
4 我把这些事告诉了你们， 让你们到了那个时候， 可以想起我告诉过你们了。我起初没有把这些事告诉你们， 因为我跟你们在一起。
5 "现在我要到那差我来的那里去， 你们中间并没有人问： ‘你到哪里去？’
6 然而因为我把这些事告诉了你们， 你们心里就充满忧愁。
7 但我要把实情告诉你们， 我去是对你们有益的。如果我不去， 保惠师就不会到你们这里来； 我若去了， 就会差他到你们这里来。
8 他来了， 就要在罪、在义、在审判各方面指证世人的罪。
9 在罪方面， 是因为他们不信我；
10 在义方面， 是因为我到父那里去， 你们就再看不见我；
11 在审判方面， 是因为这世界的统治者已经受了审判。
12 "我还有许多事要告诉你们， 可是你们现在担当不了；
13 只等真理的灵来了， 他要引导你们进入一切真理。他不是凭着自己说话， 而是把他听见的都说出来， 并且要把将来的事告诉你们。
14 他要荣耀我， 因为他要把从我那里所领受的告诉你们。
15 父所有的一切， 都是我的； 所以我说， 他要把从我那里所领受的告诉你们。
16 "不久， 你们不会再看见我； 再过不久， 你们还要看见我。"
17 于是他的门徒中有几个彼此说： "他对我们说： ‘不久， 你们不会看见我； 再过不久， 你们还要看见我。’又说： ‘因为我到父那里去。’这是什么意思呢？"
18 他们又说： "他所说的‘不久’， 是什么意思呢？我们不晓得他在讲什么。"
19 耶稣知道他们想问他， 就说： "我所说的‘不久， 你们不会看见我； 再过不久， 你们还要看见我’， 你们为了这话彼此议论吗？
20 我实实在在告诉你们， 你们要痛哭哀号， 世人却要欢喜； 你们要忧愁， 但你们的忧愁要变为喜乐。
21 妇人生产的时候会有忧愁， 因为她的时候到了； 但生了孩子以后， 就不再记住那痛苦了， 因为欢喜有一个人生到世上来。
22 现在你们也有忧愁； 但我要再见你们， 你们的心就会喜乐， 你们的喜乐是没有人能够夺去的。
23 到了那天， 你们什么也不会问我了。我实实在在告诉你们， 你们奉我的名无论向父求什么， 他必定赐给你们。
24 你们向来没有奉我的名求什么； 现在你们祈求， 就必定得着， 让你们的喜乐满溢。
25 "我用譬喻对你们说了这些事， 时候要到， 我不再用譬喻对你们说了， 而是把关于父的事明明白白告诉你们。
26 到了那天， 你们要奉我的名祈求， 我不是说我要为你们请求父；
27 父自己爱你们， 因为你们已经爱我， 并且信我是从 神那里来的。
28 我从父那里来， 到了这世界； 我又离开这世界， 到父那里去。"
29 门徒说： "你看， 现在你是明说， 不是用譬喻说了。
30 现在我们知道你是无所不知的， 不需要人向你发问。因此， 我们信你是从 神那里来的。"
31 耶稣对他们说： "现在你们信吗？
32 看哪， 时候要到， 而且已经到了， 你们要分散， 各人到自己的地方去， 只留下我独自一个人。其实我不是独自一个人， 因为有父与我同在。
33 我把这些事告诉你们， 是要使你们在我里面有平安。在世上你们有患难， 但你们放心， 我已经胜了这世界。"
1 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be caused to stumble. 2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the hour cometh, that whosoever killeth you shall think that he offereth service unto God. 3 And these things will they do, because they have not known the Father, nor me. 4 But these things have I spoken unto you, that when their hour is come, ye may remember them, how that I told you. And these things I said not unto you from the beginning, because I was with you. 5 But now I go unto him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? 6 But because I have spoken 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 go, I will send him unto you. 8 And he, when he is come, will convict the world in respect of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 of sin, because they believe not on me; 10 of righteousness, because I go to the Father, and ye behold me no more; 11 of judgment, because the prince of this world hath been 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 shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but what things soever he shall hear, these shall he speak: and he shall declare unto you the things that are to come. 14 He shall glorify me: for he shall take of mine, and shall declare it unto you. 15 All things whatsoever the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he taketh of mine, and shall declare it unto you. 16 A little while, and ye behold me no more; and again a little while, and ye shall see me. 17 Some of his disciples therefore said one to another, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye behold me not; 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 know not what he saith. 19 Jesus perceived that they were desirous to ask him, and he said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, A little while, and ye behold me not, 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: 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 when she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for the joy that a man is born into the world. 22 And ye therefore now have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one taketh away from you. 23 And in that day ye shall ask me no question. Verily, verily, I say unto you, If ye shall ask anything of the Father, he will give it you in my name. 24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be made full.
25 These things have I spoken unto you in dark sayings: the hour cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in dark sayings, but shall tell you plainly of the Father. 26 In 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 forth from the Father. 28 I came out from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go unto the Father. 29 His disciples say, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no dark saying. 30 Now know we 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? 32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is come, that ye 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 have I spoken unto you, that in me ye may have peace. In the world ye have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
