But now
I go my way to him that sent me, and none of you asks me: whither go you?
But because I have said such things unto you, your hearts are full of
sorrow. Nevertheless I tell you the truth, it is expedient for you that I
go away. For if I go not away, that comforter will not come unto you. But
if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will rebuke
the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgement. Of sin, because
they believe not on me: of righteousness, because I go to my father, and
you shall see me no more: and of judgement, because the chief ruler of
this world, is judged all ready.
I have yet many things to say unto you: but
you cannot bear them away now. How be it when he is come (I mean the
spirit of truth) he will lead you into all truth. He shall not speak of
himself: but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak, and he will show
you things to come. He shall glorify me, for he shall receive of
mine and shall show unto you. All things that the father has are mine.
Therefore said I unto you, that he shall take of mine and show unto you.
After
a while you shall not see me, and again after a while you shall see me:
For I go to the father. Then said some of his disciples between
themselves: what is this that he says unto us, after a while you shall not
see me, and again after a while you shall see me: and that I go to the
father. They said therefore: what is this that he says after a while? we
cannot tell what he says. Jesus perceived that they would ask
him, and said unto them: This is it that you enquire of between
yourselves, that I said after a while you shall not see me, and again
after a while you shall see me. Verily, verily I say unto you: you shall
weep and lament and the world shall rejoice. you shall sorrow: but your
sorrow shall be turned to joy.
A woman when she travails has sorrow,
because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child,
she remembers no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the
world. And you now are in sorrow: but I will see you again, and your
hearts shall rejoice, and your joy shall no man take from you. And in that
day shall you ask me no
question. Verily, verily I say unto you, whatsoever you shall ask
the father in my name, he will give it you. Hitherto have you asked
nothing in my name. Ask
and you shall receive it: that your joy may be full.
These things have I spoken unto you in
proverbs. The time will come when I shall no more speak to you in
proverbs: but I shall show you plainly from my father. At that day shall
you ask in mine name. And
I say not unto you that I will speak unto my father for you. For the
father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed
that I came out from God. I went out from the father, and came into the
world: and I leave the world again, and go to the father.
His disciples said unto him: lo now speak
you plainly, and you use no proverb. Now know we that you understand all
things, and need not that any man should ask
you any question. Therefore believe we that you came from God. Jesus
answered them: Now you do believe. Behold the hour draws nigh, and is
already come that you shall be scattered every man his ways, and shall
leave me alone. And yet am I not alone. For the father is with me.
These words have I spoken unto you, that in
me you might have peace. For in the world shall you have tribulation: but
be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.
