1"I have said these things to you so that you will not fall away."
2"They will put you out of the synagogues. Yes, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is serving God."
3"They will do these things to you because they have not known the Father, or me."
4"But I have told you these things so that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you about them. I did not say these things to you at the beginning, because I was with you."
5"But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?'"
6"Instead, because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart."
7"But I tell you the truth: it is better for you that I go away. For if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you."
8"And when he comes, he will show the world where it is wrong about sin, and about righteousness, and about judgment:"
9"About sin, because they do not believe in me;"
10"About righteousness, because I go to my Father, and you will see me no more;"
11"About judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged."
12"I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now."
13"But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak from himself. He will speak whatever he hears, and he will show you things that are coming."
14"He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and show it to you."
15"Everything the Father has is mine. That is why I said that he will take what is mine and show it to you."
16"A little while, and you will not see me. And again a little while, and you will see me, because I go to the Father."
17Then some of his disciples said to each other, "What is this that he says to us, 'A little while, and you will not see me; and again a little while, and you will see me,' and, 'Because I go to the Father'?"
18So they said, "What is this that he says, 'A little while'? We do not know what he is talking about."
19Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, "Are you asking each other what I meant when I said, 'A little while, and you will not see me; and again a little while, and you will see me'?"
20"I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn, but the world will be glad. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy."
21"When a woman is giving birth she has sorrow, because her hour has come. But as soon as the child is born, she no longer remembers the pain, for joy that a child has been born into the world."
22"So you have sorrow now. But I will see you again, and your heart will be glad, and no one takes your joy away from you."
23"On that day you will ask me nothing. I tell you the truth, whatever you ask the Father in my name, he will give it to you."
24"Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, so that your joy may be full."
25"I have spoken these things to you in picture language. But the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in picture language. I will tell you about the Father plainly."
26"On that day you will ask in my name. I do not say to you that I will pray to the Father for you,"
27"for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God."
28"I came from the Father, and I have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father."
29His disciples said to him, "Look, now you are speaking plainly, and not in picture language."
30"Now we are sure that you know all things, and that you do not need anyone to question you. Because of this we believe that you came from God."
31Jesus answered them, "Do you believe now?"
32"Look, the hour is coming, and has now come, when you will be scattered, each one to his own home, and will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me."
33"I have spoken these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have trouble. But take heart: I have overcome the world."
