“These things I have spoken to you so that you may not stumble.
2
They shall put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, an hour is coming when everyone who kills you shall think that he is offering service to Elohim.
3
And they shall do these things because they have not known the Father or me.
4
But I have spoken these things to you so that when their hour comes, you may remember that I told you concerning them. And I did not speak these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you.
5
But now I am going to the One who sent me, and none of you asks me: ‘Where are you going?’
6
But because I have spoken these things to you, grief has filled your heart.
7
Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is beneficial for you that I go away. For if I do not go away, the Helper shall not come to you. But if I go, I shall send him to you.
8
And when that one comes, he shall expose the world concerning sin, and concerning Righteousness, and concerning Judgment—
9
concerning sin, because they do not trust in me;
10
concerning Righteousness, because I go to the Father and you see me no longer;
11
and concerning Judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
12
I still have many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear them now.
13
But when that one comes— the Ruach of Truth— he shall guide you into all truth. For he shall not speak from himself, but whatever he hears, he shall speak. And the things that are coming he shall make known to you.
14
He shall glorify me, because he shall take from what is mine and make it known to you.
15
Everything the Father has is mine. Because of this I said that he takes from what is mine and makes it known to you.
16
A little while, and you shall no longer see me. And again a little while, and you shall see me.”
17
Therefore some of his talmidim said to one another: “What is this that he says to us: ‘A little while, and you shall not see me, and again a little while, and you shall see me,’ and: ‘Because I go to the Father’?”
18
Therefore they said: “What is this ‘little while’ of which he speaks? We do not know what he is saying.”
19
Yahushua knew that they desired to question him, and he said to them: “Are you asking among yourselves concerning this that I said: ‘A little while, and you shall not see me, and again a little while, and you shall see me’?
20
Truly, truly, I tell you: you shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice. You shall be grieved, but your grief shall become joy.
21
When an ishah is giving birth, she has grief because her hour has come. But when she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that an Adam has been born into the world.
22
Therefore you also now have grief. But I shall see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and no one shall take your joy from you.
23
And in that day you shall ask me nothing. Truly, truly, I tell you: whatever you ask the Father in my Name, He shall give to you.
24
Until now you asked nothing in my Name. Ask, and you shall receive, so that your joy may be complete.
25
These things I have spoken to you in figurative speech. An hour is coming when I shall no longer speak to you in figurative speech, but shall tell you plainly concerning the Father.
26
In that day you shall ask in my Name. And I do not say to you that I shall petition the Father concerning you,
27
for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved me and have trusted that I came from Elohim.
28
I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I am leaving the world and going to the Father.”
29
His talmidim said: “See— now you speak plainly and do not speak in figurative speech.
30
Now we know that you know all things and have no need that anyone should question you. By this we trust that you came from Elohim.”
31
Yahushua answered them: “Do you now trust?
32
See— an hour is coming, and has come, when you shall be scattered, each one to his own, and you shall leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
33
These things I have spoken to you so that in me you may have shalom. In the world you shall have distress. But take courage. I have overcome the world.”
