John 16 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

Jesus' Warning

Jhn 16:1“These things I have spoken to you so that you may be kept from stumbling.

Jhn 16:2“[fn]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.

Jhn 16:3

Jhn 16:3“These things they will do because they have not known the Father or Me.

Jhn 16:4

Jhn 16:4“But these things I have spoken to you, so that when their hour comes, you [fn]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

Jhn 16:5

Jhn 16:5“But now I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’

Jhn 16:6

Jhn 16:6“But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.

Jhn 16:7

Jhn 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 [fn]Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.

Jhn 16:8

Jhn 16:8“And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment;

Jhn 16:9

Jhn 16:9concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me;

Jhn 16:10

Jhn 16:10and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me;

Jhn 16:11

Jhn 16:11and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

Jhn 16:12

Jhn 16:12“I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.

Jhn 16:13

Jhn 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.

Jhn 16:14

Jhn 16:14“He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you.

Jhn 16:15

Jhn 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

Jhn 16:16

Jhn 16:16“A little while, and you will no longer see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me.”

Jhn 16:17

Jhn 16:17Some 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’?”

Jhn 16:18

Jhn 16:18So they were saying, “What is this that He says, ‘A little while’? We do not know what He is talking about.”

Jhn 16:19

Jhn 16:19Jesus 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’?

Jhn 16:20

Jhn 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.

Jhn 16:21

Jhn 16:21“Whenever a woman is in labor she has [fn]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 [fn]child has been born into the world.

Jhn 16:22

Jhn 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

Jhn 16:23

Jhn 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.

Jhn 16:24

Jhn 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.

Jhn 16:25

Jhn 16:25“These things I have spoken to you in [fn]figurative language; an hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in [fn]figurative language, but will tell you plainly of the Father.

Jhn 16:26

Jhn 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;

Jhn 16:27

Jhn 16:27for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came forth from the Father.

Jhn 16:28

Jhn 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.”

Jhn 16:29

Jhn 16:29His disciples *said, “Lo, now You are speaking plainly and are not [fn]using a figure of speech.

Jhn 16:30

Jhn 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.”

Jhn 16:31

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

Jhn 16:32

Jhn 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.

Jhn 16:33

Jhn 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.”
