John 16:8-23
-
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.
-
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 enquire 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.
