¹ These thinges haue I saide vnto you, that ye should not be offended.² They shall excommunicate you: yea, the time shall come, that whosoeuer killeth you, will thinke that he doeth God seruice.³ And these things will they doe vnto you, because they haue not knowen ye Father, nor me.⁴ But these things haue I tolde you, that when the houre shall come, ye might remember, that I tolde you them. And these things said I not vnto you from ye beginning, because I was wt you.⁵ But now I go my way to him that sent me, and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?⁶ But because I haue saide these thinges vnto you, your hearts are full of sorowe.

⁷ Yet I tell you the trueth, It is expedient for you that I goe away: for if I goe not away, that Comforter will not come vnto you: but if I depart, I will send him vnto you.⁸ And when he is come, he will reproue the worlde of sinne, and of righteousnesse, and of iudgement.⁹ Of sinne, because they beleeued not in me:¹⁰ Of righteousnesse, because I goe to my Father, and ye shall see me no more:¹¹ Of iudgement, because the prince of this world is iudged.¹² I haue yet many things to say vnto you, but ye cannot beare them nowe.¹³ Howbeit, when he is come which is the Spirit of trueth, he will leade you into all trueth: for he shall not speake of himselfe, but whatsoeuer he shall heare, shall he speake, and he will shew you the things to come.¹⁴ He shall glorifie me: for he shall receiue of mine, and shall shewe it vnto you.¹⁵ All thinges that the Father hath, are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shewe it vnto you.

¹⁶ A litle while, and ye shall not see me: and againe a litle while, and ye shall see me: for I goe to the Father.¹⁷ Then said some of his disciples among them selues, What is this that he saieth vnto vs, A litle while, and ye shall not see me, and againe, a litle while, and ye shall see me, and, For I goe to the Father.¹⁸ They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A litle while? we know not what he sayeth.¹⁹ Now Iesus knew that they would aske him, and said vnto them, Doe ye enquire among your selues, of that I said, A litle while, & ye shal not see me: and againe, a litle while, and yee shall see me?²⁰ Verely, verely I say vnto you, that ye shall weepe and lament, and the worlde shall reioyce: and ye shall sorowe, but your sorowe shalbe turned to ioye.²¹ A woman when she traueileth, hath sorowe, because her houre is come: but assoone as she is deliuered of the childe, she remembreth no more the anguish, for ioy that a man is borne into the world.²² And ye nowe therefore are in sorowe: but I will see you againe, & your hearts shal reioyce, and your ioy shall no man take from you.

²³ And in that day shall ye aske me nothing. Verely, verely I say vnto you, whatsoeuer ye shall aske the Father in my Name, he will giue it you.²⁴ Hitherto haue ye asked nothing in my Name: aske, and ye shall receiue, that your ioye may be full.²⁵ These things haue I spoken vnto you in parables: but the time will come, when I shall no more speake to you in parables: but I shall shew you plainely of the Father.²⁶ At that day shall ye aske in my Name, and I say not vnto you, that I will pray vnto the Father for you:²⁷ For the Father himselfe loueth you, because ye haue loued me, and haue beleeued that I came out from God.

²⁸ I am come out from the Father, and came into the worlde: againe I leaue the worlde, and goe to the Father.²⁹ His disciples saide vnto him, Loe, nowe speakest thou plainely, and thou speakest no parable.³⁰ Nowe knowe wee that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should aske thee. By this we beleeue, that thou art come out from God.³¹ Iesus answered them, Doe you beleeue nowe?³² Beholde, the houre commeth, and is already come, that ye shalbe scattered euery man into his owne, and shall leaue me alone: but I am not alone: for the Father is with me.³³ These thinges haue I spoken vnto you, that in me ye might haue peace: in the world ye shall haue affliction, but be of good comfort: I haue ouercome the world.
