  • John 16:4-9 : 4 I have told you these things so that when the time comes, you will remember that I told you about them. I did not tell you this 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 Instead, because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts. 7 But I tell you the truth: It is for your benefit that I am going away. If I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. 8 When he comes, he will convict the world about sin, righteousness, and judgment: 9 about sin, because they do not believe in me; 10 about righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see me; 11 and about judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged. 12 I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own, but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to you what is to come. 14 He will glorify me because he will take what is mine and declare it to you. 15 Everything that the Father has is mine. This is why I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you. 16 A little while, and you will no longer see me; and again a little while, and you will see me, because I am going to the Father. 17 Then some of his disciples said to one another, 'What does he mean by saying, “A little while and you will no longer see me; and again a little while and you will see me,” and “because I am going to the Father”?' 18 They said, 'What does he mean by “a little while”? We do not know what he is talking about.' 19 Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, so he said to them, 'Are you discussing among yourselves what I meant when I said, “A little while and you will no longer see me; and again a little while and you will see me”?' 20 Truly, truly, I tell you, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy. 21 When a woman is in labor, she has sorrow because her time has come. But when she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the suffering because of the joy that a human being has been born into the world. 22 So you also have sorrow now. But I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy. 23 On that day you will ask me nothing. Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name, he will give you. 24 Until now you have asked for nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, so that your joy may be full. 25 I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. An hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures, but will tell you plainly about the Father. 26 On that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf, 27 for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God. 28 I came from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I am leaving the world and going to the Father. 29 His disciples said to him, 'See, now you are speaking plainly and not using any figure of speech.' 30 'Now we know that you know all things and do not need anyone to question you. This is why we believe that you came from God.' 31 Jesus answered them, 'Do you now believe?'
