CHAP. XVI.

1 Christ comforteth his Disciples against tribulation by the promise of the holy Ghost, and by his Resurrection and Ascension: 23 Assureth their prayers made in his Name to be acceptable to his Father. 33 Peace in Christ, and in the world affliction.

¹These things haue I spoken vnto you, that yee should not be offended.

²They shall put you out of the Synagogues: yea, the time commeth, that whosoeuer killeth you, will thinke that hee doeth God seruice.

³And these things will they doe vnto you, because they haue not knowen the Father, nor me.

⁴But these things haue I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not vnto you at the beginning, because I was with you.

⁵But now I goe my way to him that sent mee, and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?

⁶But because I haue saide these things vnto you, sorow hath filled your heart.

⁷Neuerthelesse; I tell you the trueth, it is expedient for you that I goe away: for if I goe not away, the Comforter will not come vnto you: but if I depart, I will send him vnto you.

⁸And when he is come, he will reproue the world of sinne, and of righteousnesse, and of iudgement.⁸

⁹Of sinne, because they beleeue not on me.

¹⁰Of righteousnesse, because I goe to my Father, and ye see me no more.

¹¹Of iudgement, because the prince of this world is iudged.

¹²I haue yet many things to say vnto you, but ye cannot beare them now:

¹³Howbeit, when hee the spirit of trueth is come, he wil guide you into all trueth: For he shall not speake of himselfe: but whatsoeuer he shall heare, that shall he speake, and he will shew you things to come.

¹⁴He shall glorifie me, for he shall receiue of mine, and shall shew it vnto you.

¹⁵All things that the Father hath, are mine: therefore said I that he shall take of mine, and shal shew it vnto you.

¹⁶A litle while, and ye shall not see me: and againe a litle while, & ye shall see me: because I goe to the Father.

¹⁷Then saide some of his disciples among themselues, What is this that he saith vnto vs, A litle while, and ye shal not see me: and againe, a litle while, and ye shall see me: and, because I goe to the Father?

¹⁸They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A litle while? we cannot tell what he saith.

¹⁹Now Iesus knew that they were desirous to aske him, & said vnto them, Doe ye enquire among your selues of that I saide, A litle while, and ye shall not see mee: and againe; A little while and ye shall see me?

²⁰Uerily, verily I say vnto you, that ye shall weepe and lament, but the world shall reioyce: And ye shall be sorrowfull, but your sorrow shall be turned into ioy.

²¹A woman, when she is in trauaile, hath sorrow, because her houre is come: but assoone as she is deliuered of the child, she remembreth no more the anguish, for ioy that a man is borne into the world.

²²And ye now therefore haue sorrow: but I will see you againe, and your heart shall reioyce, and your ioy no man taketh from you.

²³And in that day ye shall aske me nothing: Uerily, verily I say vnto you, Whatsoeuer yee shall aske the Father in my Name, he will giue it you.²³

²⁴Hitherto haue ye asked nothing in my Name: aske, and ye shall receiue, that your ioy may be full.

²⁵These things haue I spoken vnto you in prouerbs: the time commeth when I shall no more speake vnto you in prouerbes, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.²⁵

²⁶At that day ye shall aske in my Name: and I say not vnto you that I will pray the Father for you:

²⁷For the Father himselfe loueth you, because ye haue loued me and haue beleeued that I came out from God.

²⁸I came foorth from the Father, and am come into the world: againe, I leaue the world, and goe to the Father.

²⁹His disciples said vnto him, Loe, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no prouerbe.²⁹

³⁰Now are we sure that thou knowest al things, and needest not that any man should aske thee: By this we beleeue that thou camest foorth from God.

³¹Iesus answered them, Doe yee now beleeue?

³²Behold, the houre commeth, yea is now come, that ye shall be scattered, euery man to his owne, and shall leaue me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.³²

³³These things I haue spoken vnto you, that in me ye might haue peace, in the world ye shall haue tribulation: but be of good cheare, I haue ouercome the world.
