Christ comforteth his disciples against tribulation by the promise of the Holy Ghost, and by his resurrection and ascension:

1 ¶ These thingsº have I spokenºª unto you,º that¹ª² ye should¹ª not¹² be offended.ºª 2 They shall putºª youº out of the synagogues:º yea,º the timeº cometh,ºª thatº whosoeverº killethºª youº will thinkºª that he doethºª Godº service.º 3 Andº these thingsº will they doºª unto you,º becauseº they have¹ª notº knownºª the² Father,º norº me.º 4 Butº these thingsº have I toldºª you,º thatº whenº the² timeº shall come,ºª ye may rememberºª thatº Iº toldºª youº of them.º Andº these thingsº I saidºª notº unto youº atº the beginning,º becauseº I wasºª withº you.º 5 Butº nowº I go my wayºª to¹² him that sentºª me;º andº noneº ofº youº askethºª me,º Whitherº goest² thou?¹ª 6 Butº becauseº I have saidºª these thingsº unto you,º sorrowº hath filledºª yourº heart.º 7 Neverthelessº Iº tellºª youº the² truth;º It is expedientºª for youº thatº Iº go away:ºª forº if¹ª I² go¹ª not¹ away,ºª² the² Comforterº will¹ª notº comeºª untoº you;º butº ifº I depart,ºª I will sendºª himº untoº you.º 8 Andº when he² is come,ºª he¹ will reproveºª the² worldº ofº sin,º andº ofº righteousness,º andº ofº judgment:º 9 Ofº sin,ºº becauseº they believeºª notº onº me;º 10 ² Ofº¹ righteousness,º becauseº I goºª toº myº Father,º andº ye seeºª meº no² more;¹² 11 ² Ofº¹ judgment,º becauseº the² princeº of thisº worldº is judged.ºª 12 I haveºª yetº many thingsº to sayºª unto you,º butº ye cannotººª bear² them¹ª now.º 13 Howbeitº whenº he,º the² Spiritº of truth,º is come,ºª he will guideºª youº intoº allº truth:º forº he shall¹ª notº speakºª ofº himself;º butº whatsoeverºº he shall hear,ºª [that] shall he speak:ºª andº he will shewºª youº things to come.ºª 14 Heº shall glorifyºª me:º forº he shall receiveºª ofº mine,º andº shall shewºª [it] unto you.º 15 All thingsº thatº the² Fatherº hathºª areºª mine:º thereforeºº said² I,¹ª thatº he shall takeºª ofº mine,º andº shall shewºª [it] unto you.º 16 A little while,º andº ye shall¹ª notº seeºª me:º andº again,º a little while,º andº ye shall seeºª me,º becauseº Iº goºª toº the² Father.º 17 Thenº saidºª [some] ofº hisº disciplesº amongº themselves,º Whatº isºª thisº thatº he saithºª unto us,º A little while,º andº ye shall¹ª notº seeºª me:º andº again,º a little while,º andº ye shall seeºª me:º and,º Becauseº Iº goºª toº the² Father?º 18 They saidºª therefore,º Whatº isºª thisº thatº he saith,ºª A little while?º we cannot¹¹ª tellºª² whatº he saith.ºª 19 Nowº Jesusº knewºª thatº they were desirousºª to askºª him,º andº saidºª unto them,º Do ye enquireºª amongº yourselvesº ofº thatº¹ I said,ºª A little while,º andº ye shall¹ª notº seeºª me:º andº again,º a little while,º andº ye shall seeºª me?º 20 Verily,º verily,º I sayºª unto you,º Thatº yeº shall weepºª andº lament,ºª butº the² worldº shall rejoice:ºª andº yeº shall be sorrowful,ºª butº yourº sorrowº shall be turnedºª intoº joy.º 21 A womanº whenº she is in travailºª hathºª sorrow,º becauseº herº hourº is come:ºª butº as soon asº she is deliveredºª of the² child,º she rememberethºª no² more¹² the² anguish,º forº joyº thatº a manº is bornºª intoº the² world.º 22 Andº yeº¹ nowº thereforeº² haveºª sorrow:º butº I will seeºª youº again,º andº yourº heartº shall rejoice,ºª andº yourº joyº no manº takethºª fromº you.º
