u. [16:8]And when he has
come, he will convince the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of
judgment: [16:9]of sin, because they believe not on me; [16:10]and of
righteousness, because I go to my Father, and you behold me no more;
[16:11]and of judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

4 [16:12]I have many things yet to say to you, but you cannot bear them
now; [16:13]but when he, the Spirit of truth has come, he will lead you
in all the truth; for he will not speak of himself, but he will speak
whatever he shall hear, and tell you things to come. [16:14]He shall
glorify me, because he shall receive from me and tell you. [16:15]All
things that the Father has, are mine; on this account I said, He shall
receive of me and tell you.

5 [16:16]A little while and you shall not see me; and again a little
while and you shall see me. [16:17]Then some of his disciples said one
to another, What is this that he says to us, A little while and you

that he says, The little while? We do not know what he says.

see me? [16:20]I tell you most truly, that you shall weep and lament,
but the world shall rejoice; and you shall be sorrowful, but your
sorrow shall become joy. [16:21]For when a woman is in labor she has
pain, because her time has come; but when she has borne the child she
no longer remembers the distress, because of joy that a man is born
into the world. [16:22]And you therefore now indeed have sorrow; but I
will see you again, and your hearts shall rejoice, and your joy no one
shall take from you. [16:23]And in that day you shall ask me nothing; I
tell you most truly, whatever you shall ask the Father, he will give
you in my name. [16:24] Till now you have asked nothing in my name; ask
and you shall receive, that your joy may be complete.

7 [16:25]These things have I spoken to you in parables. The time is
coming when I will no more speak to you in parables, but I will tell
you plainly of the Father. [16:26]In that day you shall ask in my name,
and I tell you not that I will ask the Father for you; [16:27]for the
Father himself is a friend to you, because you
