16 “Gisulti ko nang daan kaninyo kining mga butanga aron nga bisan unsa pa ang mahitabo sa kaulahian dili mawala ang inyong pagtuo kanako. Papahawaon nila kamo sa ilang mga sinagoga, ug moabot ang panahon nga si bisan kinsa nga mopatay kaninyo maghuna-huna nga nakaalagad siya sa Dios. Buhaton nila kini kaninyo tungod kay wala sila makaila sa Amahan o kanako. Apan gisulti ko kini kaninyo aron nga kon moabot na ang panahon nga buhaton nila kini kaninyo, mahinumdoman ninyo nga gipasidan-an ko na kamong daan.”

Ang Buhat sa Espiritu Santo

“Kining mga butanga wala ko isulti kaninyo kaniadto kay kauban pa ninyo ako. Apan karon mobalik na ako sa nagpadala kanako, ug wala gayoy nangutana bisan usa kaninyo kon asa ako moadto. Karon nga gisultihan ko na kamo, naguol gayod kamo. Apan sa pagkatinuod, mas makaayo alang kaninyo nga mobiya ako dinhi, kay kon dili ako mobiya, ang Magdadasig dili moabot kaninyo. Apan kon mobiya ako, ipadala ko siya kaninyo. Ug kon moabot na siya dinhi sa kalibotan, pailhon niya ang mga tawo nga sila mga makasasala, nga ako matarong ug nga ang Dios magahukom kanila. Pailhon niya ang mga tawo nga sila mga makasasala, tungod kay wala sila motuo kanako. 10 Pailhon niya sila nga ako matarong tungod kay moadto ako sa Amahan ug dili na kamo makakita kanako. 11 Ug pailhon usab niya sila nga ang Dios magahukom kanila, kay nahukman na si Satanas nga mao ang nagagahom sa mga tawo sa kalibotan.

12 “Daghan pa unta ang akong isulti kaninyo, apan dili pa kamo makasabot niini karon. 13 Apan kon moabot na ang Espiritu Santo nga mao ang magtutudlo sa kamatuoran, tudloan niya kamo sa tanan nga kamatuoran. Ang iyang itudlo kaninyo dili gikan kaniya, kondili isulti lamang niya ang iyang nadungog. Isulti usab niya kaninyo kon unsa ang manghitabo sa umaabot. 14 Pasidunggan niya ako tungod kay ipasabot niya kaninyo ang akong mga gipanudlo ug gipangbuhat. 15 Kay ang tanan nga akong gipanudlo iya sa Amahan. Mao kana nga nagaingon ako nga ang akong mga gipanudlo ipasabot niya kaninyo.”

Ang Kasubo Pulihan ug Kalipay

16 “Sa dili madugay dili na ninyo ako makita. Apan sa dili usab madugay makita ra ninyo ako pag-usab.” 17 Pipila sa iyang mga tinun-an ang nagpangutan-anay, “Unsa ba ang buot niyang ipasabot nga sa dili madugay dili na kita makakita kaniya, ug dili usab madugay makita ra nato siya pag-usab? Ug miingon pa siya nga kini mahitabo tungod kay mobalik na siya sa Amahan. 18 Unsa ba ang iyang buot ipasabot sa ‘dili madugay’? Dili nato masabtan kon unsa ang iyang buot ipasabot.” 19 Nahibalo si Jesus nga gusto unta nilang mangutana kaniya, busa miingon siya kanila, “Miingon ako nga sa dili madugay dili na ninyo ako makita, apan sa dili usab madugay makita ra ninyo ako pag-usab. Dili ba mao man unta kini ang inyong gusto nga ipangutana kanako? 20 Sa pagkatinuod, sultihan ko kamo nga ang mga tawo sa kalibotan malipay gayod sa mahitabo kanako, apan kamo maghilak sa kaguol. Apan ang inyong mga kaguol mawala ug mapulihan sa kalipay. 21 Sama sa babayeng nagabati tungod kay manganak na siya. Apan kon matawo na gani ang bata, malimot na siya sa kasakit tungod sa iyang kalipay nga natawo na ang iyang anak dinhi sa kalibotan. 22 Kamo sama usab niana. Karon naguol kamo, apan magpakita pa ako pag-usab kaninyo ug labihan gayod unya ang inyong kalipay. Ug wala gayoy bisan kinsa nga makaagaw niana nga kalipay.

23 “Ug kon moabot na gani kana nga adlaw dili na kinahanglan nga mangutana pa kamo ug bisan unsa kanako. Sa pagkatinuod, sultihan ko kamo nga ang Amahan maghatag kaninyo sa bisan unsa nga inyong pangayoon kaniya pinaagi sa akong ngalan.[a] 24 Hangtod karon wala pa kamo makapangayo sa bisan unsa kaniya pinaagi sa akong ngalan. Pangayo kamo aron makadawat kamo, ug aron mahimong hingpit ang inyong kalipay.

Gidaog ni Jesus ang Kalibotan

25 “Gisulti ko kining mga butanga kaninyo pinaagi sa mga sambingay. Apan moabot ang panahon nga dili na ako mogamit ug mga sambingay, kondili klaro ko nang isulti kaninyo ang mahitungod sa Amahan. 26 Kon moabot na kana nga adlaw, kamo mismo ang mangayo sa Amahan pinaagi sa akong ngalan. Dili na kinahanglan nga ako pa ang mangayo sa Amahan alang kaninyo. 27 Kay ang Amahan mismo nagahigugma man kaninyo tungod kay nagahigugma kamo kanako, ug nagatuo nga ako gikan sa Dios. 28 Gikan ako sa Amahan ug mianhi ako dinhi sa kalibotan. Apan karon mobiya na ako niining kalibotan ug mobalik sa Amahan.”

29 Miingon dayon ang iyang mga tinun-an, “Karon klaro na ang imong gisulti kay wala ka na mogamit ug mga sambingay. 30 Karon sigurado na kami nga nahibalo ka sa tanan, kay bisan wala kami mangutana kanimo nahibalo ka nang daan sa among gihuna-huna. Busa nagatuo kami nga ikaw gikan gayod sa Dios.” 31 Misulti si Jesus kanila, “Karon nagatuo na ba kamo kanako? 32 Apan moabot ang panahon ug karon gani miabot na nga kamo magkatibulaag ug mamauli, ug biyaan ninyo ako nga mag-inusara. Apan bisan biyaan ninyo ako may kauban gihapon ako, tungod kay kauban ko ang Amahan. 33 Gisulti ko kining mga butanga kaninyo aron may kalinaw kamo tungod sa inyong pagtuo kanako. Paantuson kamo sa mga tawo sa kalibotan, apan ayaw kamo kahadlok tungod kay gidaog ko na ang gahom sa kalibotan.”

  1. 16:23 sa akong ngalan: Ang buot ipasabot, tungod kay kamo anaa kanako.

16 “All this(A) I have told you so that you will not fall away.(B) They will put you out of the synagogue;(C) in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God.(D) They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me.(E) I have told you this, so that when their time comes you will remember(F) that I warned you about them. I did not tell you this from the beginning because I was with you,(G) but now I am going to him who sent me.(H) None of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’(I) Rather, you are filled with grief(J) because I have said these things. But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate(K) will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.(L) When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: about sin,(M) because people do not believe in me; 10 about righteousness,(N) because I am going to the Father,(O) where you can see me no longer; 11 and about judgment, because the prince of this world(P) now stands condemned.

12 “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.(Q) 13 But when he, the Spirit of truth,(R) comes, he will guide you into all the truth.(S) He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14 He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. 15 All that belongs to the Father is mine.(T) That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”

The Disciples’ Grief Will Turn to Joy

16 Jesus went on to say, “In a little while(U) you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me.”(V)

17 At this, some of his disciples said to one another, “What does he mean by saying, ‘In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me,’(W) and ‘Because I am going to the Father’?”(X) 18 They kept asking, “What does he mean by ‘a little while’? We don’t understand what he is saying.”

19 Jesus saw that they wanted to ask him about this, so he said to them, “Are you asking one another what I meant when I said, ‘In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me’? 20 Very truly I tell you, you will weep and mourn(Y) while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.(Z) 21 A woman giving birth to a child has pain(AA) because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world. 22 So with you: Now is your time of grief,(AB) but I will see you again(AC) and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.(AD) 23 In that day(AE) you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.(AF) 24 Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive,(AG) and your joy will be complete.(AH)

25 “Though I have been speaking figuratively,(AI) a time is coming(AJ) when I will no longer use this kind of language but will tell you plainly about my Father. 26 In that day you will ask in my name.(AK) I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf. 27 No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me(AL) and have believed that I came from God.(AM) 28 I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.”(AN)

29 Then Jesus’ disciples said, “Now you are speaking clearly and without figures of speech.(AO) 30 Now we can see that you know all things and that you do not even need to have anyone ask you questions. This makes us believe(AP) that you came from God.”(AQ)

31 “Do you now believe?” Jesus replied. 32 “A time is coming(AR) and in fact has come when you will be scattered,(AS) each to your own home. You will leave me all alone.(AT) Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me.(AU)

33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace.(AV) In this world you will have trouble.(AW) But take heart! I have overcome(AX) the world.”

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

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

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

But 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.

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

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

Nevertheless 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.

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

Of sin, because they believe not on me;

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

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

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

13 Howbeit 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.

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

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

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

17 Then 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?

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

19 Now 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?

20 Verily, 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.

21 A 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.

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

23 And 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.

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

25 These 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.

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

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

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

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

30 Now 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.

31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?

32 Behold, 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.

33 These 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.
