16

Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.

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?

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.

All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

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.

I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

Of sin, because they believe not on me;

And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

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.

But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.

But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?

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.

And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.

They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.

And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father"s house:

And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
