16  Kua korerotia e ahau enei mea ki a koutou, kei he koutou.

Ka peia atu koutou i roto i nga whare karakia; a meake puta te wa e mea ai te kaiwhakamate i a koutou, he mahi pai tana ki te Atua.

Na e meatia enei mea, no te mea kahore ratou i mohio ki te Matua, kahore hoki ki ahau.

Otiia kua korerotia enei mea e ahau ki a koutou, mo te puta rawa mai o taua wa, ka mahara koutou ki aua mea, he mea korero naku ki a koutou. Na kihai enei mea i korerotia e ahau ki a koutou i te timatanga, no te mea e noho ana ahau i a koutou.

Na e haere ana tenei ahau ki toku kaitono mai; a kahore tetahi o koutou i ui mai ki ahau, Ko hea koe?

Otira i taku korerotanga i enei mea ki a koutou, ka ki o koutou ngakau i te pouri.

He pono ia taku korero ki a koutou; Nui atu te pai mo koutou ki te haere ahau: ki te kahore hoki ahau e haere, e kore te Kaiwhakamarie e tae mai ki a koutou; a ki te haere ahau, maku ia e tono mai ki a koutou.

Na ka tae mai ia, mana e whakaatu ki te ao te hara, te tika, me te whakawa:

Te hara, mo ratou kahore e whakapono ki ahau;

10 Te tika, no te mea e haere ana ahau ki toku Matua, a heoi ano to koutou kitenga i ahau;

11 Te whakawa, no te mea kua whakatikaia te whakawa mo te rangatira o tenei ao.

12 He maha atu ano nga mea hei korero maku ki a koutou, otira e kore e taea e koutou te mau aianei.

13 Otira kia tae mai ia, te Wairua o te pono, mana koutou e arahi ki te pono katoa: ehara hoki tana i te korero nana ake; engari ka korerotia e ia nga mea e rongo ai ia: mana hoki e whakakite ki a koutou nga mea e puta mai ana.

14 Ka whakakororiatia ahau e ia: ka tango hoki ia i aku mea, a ka whakaaturia ki a koutou.

15 Ko nga mea katoa a te Matua, naku: koia ahau i mea ai, ka tangohia e ia aku mea, a ka whakaaturia ki a koutou.

16 Taro ake, a e kore koutou e kite ano i ahau: a taro ake ano, ka kite koutou i ahau, no te mea ka haere ahau ki te Matua.

17 Na ka mea etahi o ana akonga tetahi ki tetahi, He aha tenei e mea nei ia ki a tatou, Taro ake, a e kore koutou e kite i ahau: a taro ake ano, ka kite koutou i ahau: me tenei, No te mea e haere ana ahau ki te Matua?

18 Na ka mea ratou, he aha tenei e mea nei ia, Taro ake? e kore tatou e matau ki tana e mea nei.

19 A i mohio a Ihu e hiahia ana ratou ki te ui ki a ia, ka mea ki a ratou, E rapu ana koutou ki a koutou ano ki taku i mea ra, Taro ake a e kore koutou e kite i ahau: a, taro ake ano ka kite koutou i ahau?

20 He pono, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ka tangi koutou, ka aue, ko te ao ia ka hari: e pouri ano koutou, otira ka meinga to koutou pouri hei hari.

21 I te mea ka whakamamae te wahine, ka pouri, no te mea ka tae tona wa: ka whanau tana tamaiti, heoi ano mahara ki te mamae, i te hari hoki, no te mea ka whanau he tangata ki te ao.

22 Na, tenei koutou te pouri nei: e kite ano ia ahau i a koutou, a ka hari o koutou ngakau, e kore hoki e tangohia i a koutou to koutou hari e tetahi.

23 Na a taua ra e kore koutou e ui ki tetahi mea i ahau. He pono, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Ko a koutou e inoi ai ki te Matua i runga i toku ingoa, e hoatu e ia ki a koutou.

24 Kahore ano i inoia noatia e koutou tetahi mea i runga i toku ingoa: inoia, a ka whiwhi koutou, kia tino nui ai to koutou koa.

25 He mea whakarite taku korero i enei mea ki a koutou: otiia meake puta te wa e kore ai ahau e korero kupu whakarite ki a koutou, engari ka marama tonu taku korero ki a koutou mo te Matua.

26 A taua ra ka inoi koutou i runga i toku ingoa; a e kore ahau e mea ki a koutou, e inoi ahau ki te Matua mo koutou:

27 E aroha ana hoki te Matua ake ano ki a koutou, mo koutou i aroha ki ahau, i whakapono hoki i haere mai ahau i te Matua.

28 I haere mai ahau i te Matua, a kua tae mai nei ki te ao: ka mahue ano i ahau te ao, a ka haere ki te Matua.

29 Ka mea ana akonga ki a ia, Na kua marama tau korero, ehara tau korero i te kupu whakarite.

30 Katahi matou ka mohio, tenei koe te mohio nei ki nga mea katoa, e kaore ano e mea ma tetahi e ui ki a koe: na konei matou i whakapono ai i haere mai koe i te Atua.

31 Ka whakahokia e Ihu ki a ratou, Katahi koutou ka whakapono?

32 Na meake puta te wa, a kua puta nei ano, e whakamararatia ai koutou ki tona wahi, ki tona wahi, a ka waiho ko ahau anake; otiia he teka ko ahau anake, no te mea kei ahau nei te Matua.

33 Kua korerotia e ahau enei mea ki a koutou, kia whai marietanga ai koutou i roto i ahau. Ko ta koutou i te ao nei, he mamate: otira kia maia; kua taea e ahau te ao.

16 “All this(A) I have told you so that you will not fall away.(B) They will put you out of the synagogue;(C) in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God.(D) They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me.(E) I have told you this, so that when their time comes you will remember(F) that I warned you about them. I did not tell you this from the beginning because I was with you,(G) but now I am going to him who sent me.(H) None of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’(I) Rather, you are filled with grief(J) because I have said these things. But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate(K) will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.(L) When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: about sin,(M) because people do not believe in me; 10 about righteousness,(N) because I am going to the Father,(O) where you can see me no longer; 11 and about judgment, because the prince of this world(P) now stands condemned.

12 “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.(Q) 13 But when he, the Spirit of truth,(R) comes, he will guide you into all the truth.(S) He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14 He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. 15 All that belongs to the Father is mine.(T) That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”

The Disciples’ Grief Will Turn to Joy

16 Jesus went on to say, “In a little while(U) you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me.”(V)

17 At this, some of his disciples said to one another, “What does he mean by saying, ‘In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me,’(W) and ‘Because I am going to the Father’?”(X) 18 They kept asking, “What does he mean by ‘a little while’? We don’t understand what he is saying.”

19 Jesus saw that they wanted to ask him about this, so he said to them, “Are you asking one another what I meant when I said, ‘In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me’? 20 Very truly I tell you, you will weep and mourn(Y) while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.(Z) 21 A woman giving birth to a child has pain(AA) because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world. 22 So with you: Now is your time of grief,(AB) but I will see you again(AC) and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.(AD) 23 In that day(AE) you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.(AF) 24 Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive,(AG) and your joy will be complete.(AH)

25 “Though I have been speaking figuratively,(AI) a time is coming(AJ) when I will no longer use this kind of language but will tell you plainly about my Father. 26 In that day you will ask in my name.(AK) I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf. 27 No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me(AL) and have believed that I came from God.(AM) 28 I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.”(AN)

29 Then Jesus’ disciples said, “Now you are speaking clearly and without figures of speech.(AO) 30 Now we can see that you know all things and that you do not even need to have anyone ask you questions. This makes us believe(AP) that you came from God.”(AQ)

31 “Do you now believe?” Jesus replied. 32 “A time is coming(AR) and in fact has come when you will be scattered,(AS) each to your own home. You will leave me all alone.(AT) Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me.(AU)

33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace.(AV) In this world you will have trouble.(AW) But take heart! I have overcome(AX) the world.”

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

Of sin, because they believe not on me;

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

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

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

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.

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

15 All 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.

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.

29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.

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.

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.

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.
