1These things have I spoken to you, that you may not be scandalized.
1“I have told you these things so that you will not fall away.
2They will put you out of the synagogues: yea, the hour cometh, that whosoever killeth you, will think that he doth a service to God.
2They will put you out of the synagogues. In fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God.
3And these things will they do to you; because they have not known the Father, nor me.
3They will do these things because they have not known the Father or Me.
4But these things I have told you, that when the hour shall come, you may remember that I told you of them.
4But I have told you these things so that when their hour comes, you will remember that I told you about them. I did not tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.
5But I told you not these things from the beginning, because I was with you. And now I go to him that sent me, and none of you asketh me: Whither goest thou?
5Now, however, I am going to Him who sent Me; yet none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’
6But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
6Instead, your hearts are filled with sorrow because I have told you these things.
7But I tell you the truth: it is expedient to you that I go: for if I go not, the Paraclete will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
7But I tell you the truth, it is for your benefit that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.
8And when he is come, he will convince the world of sin, and of justice, and of judgment.
8And when He comes, He will convict the world in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment:
9Of sin: because they believed not in me.
9in regard to sin, because they do not believe in Me;
10And of justice: because I go to the Father; and you shall see me no longer.
10in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see Me;
11And of judgment: because the prince of this world is already judged.
11and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world has been condemned.
12I have yet many things to say to you: but you cannot bear them now.
12I still have much to tell you, but you cannot yet bear to hear it.
13But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will teach you all truth. For he shall not speak of himself; but what things soever he shall hear, he shall speak; and the things that are to come, he shall shew you.
13However, when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and He will declare to you what is to come.
14He shall glorify me; because he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it to you.
14He will glorify Me by taking from what is Mine and disclosing it to you.
15All things whatsoever the Father hath, are mine. Therefore I said, that he shall receive of mine, and shew it to you.
15Everything that belongs to the Father is Mine. That is why I said that the Spirit will take from what is Mine and disclose it to you.
16A little while, and now you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me: because I go to the Father.
16In a little while you will see Me no more, and then after a little while you will see Me.”
17Then some of the disciples said one to another: What is this that he saith to us: A little while, and you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me, and, because I go to the Father?
17Then some of His disciples asked one another, “Why is He telling us, ‘In a little while you will not see Me, and then after a little while you will see Me’ and ‘Because I am going to the Father’?”
18They said therefore: What is this that he saith, A little while? we know not what he speaketh.
18They kept asking, “Why is He saying, ‘a little while’? We do not understand what He is saying.”
19And Jesus knew that they had a mind to ask him; and he said to them: Of this do you inquire among yourselves, because I said: A little while, and you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me?
19Aware that they wanted to question Him, Jesus said to them, “Are you asking one another why I said, ‘In a little while you will not see Me, and then after a little while you will see Me’?
20Amen, amen I say to you, that you shall lament and weep, but the world shall rejoice; and you shall be made sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
20Truly, truly, I tell you, you will weep and wail while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.
21A woman, when she is in labour, hath sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she hath brought forth the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
21A woman has pain in childbirth because her time has come; but when she brings forth her child, she forgets her anguish because of her joy that a child has been born into the world.
22So also you now indeed have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice; and your joy no man shall take from you.
22So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.
23And in that day you shall not ask me any thing. Amen, amen I say to you: if you ask the Father any thing in my name, he will give it you.
23In that day you will no longer ask Me anything. Truly, truly, I tell you, whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.
24Hitherto you have not asked any thing in my name. Ask, and you shall receive; that your joy may be full.
24Until now you have not asked for anything in My name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.
25These things I have spoken to you in proverbs. The hour cometh, when I will no more speak to you in proverbs, but will shew you plainly of the Father.
25I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. An hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you this way, but will tell you plainly about the Father.
26In that day you shall ask in my name; and I say not to you, that I will ask the Father for you:
26In that day you will ask in My name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf.
27For the Father himself loveth you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
27For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came from God.
28I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again I leave the world, and I go to the Father.
28I came from the Father and entered the world. In turn, I will leave the world and go to the Father.”
29His disciples say to him: Behold, now thou speakest plainly, and speakest no proverb.
29His disciples said, “See, now You are speaking plainly and without figures of speech.
30Now we know that thou knowest all things, and thou needest not that any man should ask thee. By this we believe that thou camest forth from God.
30Now we understand that You know all things and that You have no need for anyone to question You. Because of this, we believe that You came from God.”
31Jesus answered them: Do you now believe?
31“Do you finally believe?” Jesus replied.
32Behold, the hour cometh, and it is now come, that you 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.
32“Look, an hour is coming and has already come when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and you will leave Me all alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.
33These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you shall have distress: but have confidence, I have overcome the world.
33I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take courage; I have overcome the world!”
