Jesus'
Warning |
|
|
 |
John 16:1
|
|
"These things I have spoken
to you so that you may be kept from stumbling. |
|
|
|
John 16:2
|
|
They will make you outcasts
from the synagogue, but an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think
that he is offering service to God. |
|
|
|
John 16:3
|
|
These things they will
do because they have not known the Father or Me. |
|
|
|
John 16:4
|
|
But these things I have
spoken to you, so that when their hour comes, you may remember that I told you
of them. These things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with
you. |
|
|
|
|
|
The
Holy Spirit Promised |
|
|
|
John 16:5
|
|
"But now I am going to
Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, 'Where are You going?' |
|
|
|
John 16:6
|
|
But because I have said
these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. |
|
|
|
John 16:7
|
|
But I tell you the truth,
it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will
not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you. |
|
|
|
John 16:8
|
|
And He, when He comes,
will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment; |
|
|
|
John 16:9
|
|
concerning sin, because
they do not believe in Me; |
|
|
|
John 16:10
|
|
and concerning righteousness,
because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me; |
|
|
|
John 16:11
|
|
and concerning judgment,
because the ruler of this world has been judged. |
|
|
|
John 16:12
|
|
"I have many more things
to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. |
|
|
|
John 16:13
|
|
But when He, the Spirit
of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on
His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose
to you what is to come. |
|
|
|
John 16:14
|
|
He will glorify Me, for
He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you. |
|
|
|
John 16:15
|
|
All things that the Father
has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you. |
|
|
|

Jesus'
Death and Resurrection Foretold |
|
|
|
John 16:16
|
|
"A little while, and you
will no longer see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me." |
|
|
|
John 16:17
|
|
Some of His disciples then said to one another,
"What is this thing He is telling us, 'A little while, and
you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me'; and,
'because I go to the Father'?" |
|
|
|
John 16:18
|
|
So they were saying, "What is this that He says,
'A little while'? We do not know what He is talking about." |
|
|
|
John 16:19
|
|
Jesus knew that they wished to question Him,
and He said to them, "Are you deliberating together about
this, that I said, 'A little while, and you will not see Me, and again a little
while, and you will see Me'? |
|
|
|
John 16:20
|
|
Truly, truly, I say to
you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will grieve,
but your grief will be turned into joy. |
|
|
|
John 16:21
|
|
Whenever a woman is in
labor she has pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the
child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a child has
been born into the world. |
|
|
|
John 16:22
|
|
Therefore you too have
grief now; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will
take your joy away from you. |
|
|
|
|
|
Prayer
Promises |
|
|
|
John 16:23
|
|
In 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. |
|
|
|
John 16:24
|
|
Until now you have asked
for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made
full. |
|
|
|
John 16:25
|
|
"These things I have spoken
to you in figurative language; an hour is coming when I will no longer speak to
you in figurative language, but will tell you plainly of the Father. |
|
|
|
John 16:26
|
|
In that day you will ask
in My name, and I do not say to you that I will request of the Father on your
behalf; |
|
|
|
John 16:27
|
|
for the Father Himself
loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came forth from
the Father. |
|
|
|
John 16:28
|
|
I came forth from the
Father and have come into the world; I am leaving the world again and going to
the Father." |
|
|
|
John 16:29
|
|
His disciples *said,
"Lo, now You are speaking plainly and are not using a figure of speech. |
|
|
|
John 16:30
|
|
Now we know that You know all things, and have
no need for anyone to question You; by this we believe that You came from God."
|
|
|
|
John 16:31
|
|
Jesus answered them, "Do
you now believe? |
|
|
|
John 16:32
|
|
Behold, 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. |
|
|
|
John 16:33
|
|
These 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." |
