John 16 :: King James Version (KJV)

Jesus' Warning

Jhn 16:1These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.

Jhn 16:2They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

Jhn 16:3

Jhn 16:3And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.

Jhn 16:4

Jhn 16:4But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.

The Holy Spirit Promised

Jhn 16:5

Jhn 16:5But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?

Jhn 16:6

Jhn 16:6But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.

Jhn 16:7

Jhn 16:7Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

Jhn 16:8

Jhn 16:8And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

Jhn 16:9

Jhn 16:9Of sin, because they believe not on me;

Jhn 16:10

Jhn 16:10Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

Jhn 16:11

Jhn 16:11Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

Jhn 16:12

Jhn 16:12I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

Jhn 16:13

Jhn 16:13Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

Jhn 16:14

Jhn 16:14He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

Jhn 16:15

Jhn 16:15All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

Jesus' Death and Resurrection Foretold

Jhn 16:16

Jhn 16:16A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.

Jhn 16:17

Jhn 16:17Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?

Jhn 16:18

Jhn 16:18They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.

Jhn 16:19

Jhn 16:19Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?

Jhn 16:20

Jhn 16:20Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

Jhn 16:21

Jhn 16:21A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.

Jhn 16:22

Jhn 16:22And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.

Prayer Promises

Jhn 16:23

Jhn 16:23And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.

Jhn 16:24

Jhn 16:24Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

Jhn 16:25

Jhn 16:25These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.

Jhn 16:26

Jhn 16:26At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:

Jhn 16:27

Jhn 16:27For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.

Jhn 16:28

Jhn 16:28I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.

Jhn 16:29

Jhn 16:29His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.

Jhn 16:30

Jhn 16:30Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.

Jhn 16:31

Jhn 16:31Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?

Jhn 16:32

Jhn 16:32Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

Jhn 16:33

Jhn 16:33These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
