Глава 16

  • 1. I have said these things to you so that you may not be in doubt.
  • 2. They will put you out of the Synagogues: yes, the time is coming when whoever puts you to death will have the belief that he is doing God's pleasure.
  • 3. They will do these things to you because they have not had knowledge of the Father or of me.
  • 4. I have said these things to you so that when the time comes, what I have said may come to your mind. I did not say them to you at the first, because then I was still with you.
  • 5. But now I am going to him who sent me; and not one of you says to me, Where are you going?
  • 6. But your hearts are full of sorrow because I have said these things.
  • 7. But what I am saying is true: my going is for your good: for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
  • 8. And he, when he comes, will make the world conscious of sin, and of righteousness, and of being judged:
  • 9. Of sin, because they have not faith in me;
  • 10. Of righteousness, because I go to the Father and you will see me no more;
  • 11. Of being judged, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
  • 12. I have still much to say to you, but you are not strong enough for it now.
  • 13. However, when he, the Spirit of true knowledge, has come, he will be your guide into all true knowledge: for his words will not come from himself, but whatever has come to his hearing, that he will say: and he will make clear to you the things to come.
  • 14. He will give me glory, because he will take of what is mine, and make it clear to you.
  • 15. Everything which the Father has is mine: that is why I say, He will take of what is mine and will make it clear to you.
  • 16. After a little time you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me.
  • 17. So some of the disciples said one to another, What is this he is saying, After a little time, you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me? and, I am going to the Father?
  • 18. So they said again and again, What is this he is saying, A little time? His words are not clear to us.
  • 19. Jesus saw that they had a desire to put the question to him, so he said to them, Is this what you are questioning one with another, why I said, After a little time, you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me?
  • 20. Truly I say to you, You will be weeping and sorrowing, but the world will be glad: you will be sad, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.
  • 21. When a woman is about to give birth she has sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she has given birth to the child, the pain is put out of her mind by the joy that a man has come into the world.
  • 22. So you have sorrow now: but I will see you again, and your hearts will be glad, and no one will take away your joy.
  • 23. And on that day you will put no questions to me. Truly I say to you, Whatever request you make to the Father, he will give it to you in my name.
  • 24. Up to now you have made no request in my name: do so, and it will be answered, so that your hearts may be full of joy.
  • 25. All this I have said to you in veiled language: but the time is coming when I will no longer say things in veiled language but will give you knowledge of the Father clearly.
  • 26. In that day you will make requests in my name: and I do not say that I will make prayer to the Father for you,
  • 27. For the Father himself gives his love to you, because you have given your love to me and have had faith that I came from God.
  • 28. I came out from the Father and have come into the world: again, I go away from the world and go to the Father.
  • 29. His disciples said, Now you are talking clearly and not in veiled language.
  • 30. Now we are certain that you have knowledge of all things and have no need for anyone to put questions to you: through this we have faith that you came from God.
  • 31. Jesus made answer, Have you faith now?
  • 32. See, a time is coming, yes, it is now here, when you will go away in all directions, every man to his house, and I will be by myself: but I am not by myself, because the Father is with me.
  • 33. I have said all these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble: but take heart! I have overcome the world.
