1 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
Neither did his brethren believe in him. 7:5
Trivia: According to John 7:38, who will have rivers of living water flowing out of their bellies?
16:1-331 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
Jesus continues his farewell speech:
They'll expel you from the synagogues.
And the time will come when they think killing you does a service to God.
3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
4 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.
They'll do these things,
because they don't know the Father or me.
5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?
6 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
But now I go to him who sent me.
And none of you ask me, "Where are you going?" [1]
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 depart, I will send him unto you.
It's better for you if I go away.
If I don't go away, the Comforter won't come to you.
But if I do, I'll send him to you.
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
When he comes, he'll accuse the world of sin.
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
Of the sin of not believing in me.
11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
The prince of this world is judged. [2]
12I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
I have much more to say,
but you can't hear them now. [3]
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.
14He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
When the Spirit of truth comes, he'll glorify me.
15All 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.
Everything the Father has is mine.
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.
24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
25 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.
26 At 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 out from God.
28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.
Whatever you ask the Father in my name
will be given to you. [4]
29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.
After Jesus finished speaking, his disciples said to him,
Now you're speaking clearly.
30 Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.
Now we know that you know everything, [5]
and that you come from God.
31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?
32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now 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.
Jesus said to them,
Do you now believe?
But the time is coming when you'll all scatter
and leave me alone.
33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
The world will have tribulation.
But be happy. I've overcome the world.
O Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
