John 15:11-16:33

ABU(i) 11 These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and your joy be made full. 12 This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatever I command you. 15 No longer do I call you servants; because the servant knows not what his lord does. But I have called you friends because all things that I heard from my Father I made known to you. 16 Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you that ye may go and bear fruit, and that your fruit may remain; that whatever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. 17 These things I command you, that ye love one another. 18 If the world hates you, ye know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19 If ye were of the world, the world would love its own; but because ye are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, for this the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you: A servant is not greater than his lord. If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they kept my saying, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things they will do to you for my name's sake, because they know not him who sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no cloak for their sin. 23 He that hates me hates my Father also. 24 If I had not done among them the works which no other one has done, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father. 25 But this comes to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law: They hated me without a cause. 26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, which proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness of me. 27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye are with me from the beginning. 16 1 THESE things I have spoken to you, that ye should not be offended. 2 They will put you out of the synagogues; yea, a time is coming, that every one who kills you will think he makes an offering to God. 3 And these things they will do to you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. 4 But these things I have spoken to you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you. And these things I told you not from the beginning, because I was with you. 5 And now I go to him who sent me; and none of you asks me: Whither goest thou? 6 But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. 7 But I tell you the truth, it is expedient for you that I depart; for if I depart not, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. 8 And when he is come, he will convict the world, in respect of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment; 9 of sin, in that they believe not on me; 10 of righteousness, in that I go to my Father, and ye behold me no more; 11 of judgment, in that the prince of this world has been judged. 12 I have yet many things to say to you, but ye can not bear them now. 13 But when he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak from himself, but whatever he shall hear, that will he speak, and he will tell you the things to come. 14 He will glorify me; because he will receive of mine, and will tell it to you. 15 All things that the Father has are mine. Therefore, I said, that he will receive of mine, and will tell it to you. 16 A little while, and ye behold me not; and again a little while, and ye shall see me. 17 Therefore some of his disciples said to one another: What is this that he says to us, A little while, and ye behold me not; and again a little while, and ye shall see me; and, I go to the Father? 18 They said therefore: What is this that he says, A little while? We know not what he says. 19 Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said to them: Do ye inquire of this with one another, that I said, A little while, and ye behold me not; and again a little while, and ye shall see me? 20 Verily, verily, I say to you, that ye will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; and ye will be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. 21 A woman when she is in travail has sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she has borne the child, she remembers no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. 22 And so ye now have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one takes from you. 23 And in that day ye shall ask nothing of me. Verily, verily, I say to you: Whatever ye shall ask of the Father, he will give it you in my name. 24 Hitherto ye asked nothing in my name. Ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be made full. 25 These things I have spoken to you in parables. A time is coming, when I will no more speak to you in parables, but I will tell you plainly of the Father. 26 In that day ye shall ask in my name. And I say not to you, that I will pray the Father for you; 27 for the Father himself loves you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from God. 28 I came forth from the Father, and have come into the world; again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. 29 His disciples say to him: Lo, now thou speakest plainly, and speakest no parable. 30 Now we know that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any one should ask thee. By this we believe that thou camest forth from God. 31 Jesus answered them: Do ye now believe? 32 Behold, an hour is coming, and has come, that ye will be scattered, each one to his own, and will leave me alone; and I am not alone, because the Father is with me. 33 These things I have spoken to you, that in me ye may have peace. In the world ye have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.
