John 16-17

John 16

1“These things I have spoken to you so that you will not be led into sin.

2They willban you from the synagogue, yet an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering aservice to God.

3These things they will do because they have not known the Father nor Me.

4But these things I have spoken to you, so that when their hour comes, youmay remember that I told you of them. However, I did not say these things to you at the beginning, because I was with you.

5“But now I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’

6But because I have said these things to you, grief has filled your heart.

7But I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I am leaving; for if I do not leave, theHelper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.

8And He, when He comes, will convict the world regarding sin, and righteousness, and judgment:

9regarding sin, because they do not believe in Me;

10and regarding righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you no longer are going to see Me;

11and regarding judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

12“I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them at the present time.

13But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.

14He will glorify Me, for He will take from Mine and will disclose it to you.

15All things that the Father has are Mine; this is why I said that He takes from Mine and will disclose it to you.

16“A little while, and you no longer are going to see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me.”

17So some of His disciples said to one another, “What is this that He is telling us, ‘A little while, and you are not going to see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me’; and, ‘because I am going to the Father’?”

18So they were saying, “What is this that He says, ‘A little while’? We do not know what He is talking about.

19Jesus knew that they wanted to question Him, and He said to them, “Are you deliberating together about this, that I said, ‘A little while, and you are not going to see Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me’?

20Truly, truly I say to you that you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice; you will grieve, but your grief will be turned into joy!

21Whenever a woman is in labor she haspain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that achild has been born into the world.

22Therefore you too have grief now; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one is going to take your joy away from you.

23And on that day you will not question Me about anything. Truly, truly I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you.

24Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.

25“These things I have spoken to you in figures of speech; an hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.

26On that day you will ask in My name, and I am not saying to you that I will request of the Father on your behalf;

27for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came forth from the Father.

28I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and going to the Father.”

29His disciples *said, “See, now You are speaking plainly and are not using any figure of speech.

30Now we know that You know all things, and that You have no need for anyone to question You; this is why we believe that You came forth from God.”

31Jesus replied to them, “Do you now believe?

32Behold, an hour is coming, and has already come, for you to be scattered, each to his own home, and to leave Me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.

33These things I have spoken to you so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”

John 17

1Jesus spoke these things; and raising His eyes to heaven, He said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son, so that the Son may glorify You,

2just as You gave Him authority over allmankind, so thatto all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life.

3And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

4I glorified You on the earthby accomplishing the work which You have given Me to do.

5And now You, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world existed.

6“I have revealed Your name to the men whom You gave Me out of the world; they were Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have followed Your word.

7Now they have come to know that everything which You have given Me is from You;

8for the words which You gave Me I have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that I came forth from You, and they believed that You sent Me.

9I ask on their behalf; I do not ask on behalf of the world, but on the behalf of those whom You have given Me, because they are Yours;

10and all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them.

11I am no longer going to be in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, so that they may be one just as We are.

12While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name, which You have given Me; and I guarded them, and not one of them perished except theson of destruction, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.

13But now I am coming to You; and these things I speak in the world so that they may have My joy made full in themselves.

14I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

15I am not asking You to take them out of the world, but to keep them away fromthe evil one.

16They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

17Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.

18Just as You sent Me into the world, I also sent them into the world.

19And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, so that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.

20“I am not asking on behalf of these alone, but also for those who believe in Me through their word,

21that they may all be one; just as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world maybelieve that You sent Me.

22The glory which You have given Me I also have given to them, so that they may be one, just as We are one;

23I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfectedin unity, so that the world mayknow that You sent Me, and You loved them, just as You loved Me.

24Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

25“Righteous Father, although the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me;

26and I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”
