¹ These have I spoken with you, that you may not be offended.² They shall cast you out from their synagogues; and the hour cometh when every one who shall kill you will think that a sacrifice he offereth unto Aloha.³ And these will they do, because they have not known either my Father or me.⁴ THESE have I spoken with you, that when their time hath come you may remember that I told you. But these at first I did not tell you, because with you I was.⁵ But now I go unto Him who sent me; and no man of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?⁶ For I have told you these, and sorrow hath come and filled your hearts.

⁷ But I the truth say to you, That it is needful for you that I go; for if I go not, the Paraclete cometh not to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.⁸ And when he hath come, he will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.⁹ Of sin, because they believe not in me;¹⁰ but of righteousness, because unto my Father I go, and you see me not again;¹¹ but of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.¹² I have yet much to tell you, but you cannot now apprehend;¹³ but when the Spirit of Truth hath come, he will lead you into all the truth; for he will not speak of himself; [fn] but all that he shall hear he will speak, and the things to come [fn] will he make known to you. ¹⁴ He will glorify me, because of mine he will take and will show you.¹⁵ All whatever that the Father hath is mine: on this account I have said to you, That of mine he will take, and will show you.

¹⁶ A LITTLE (time), and you will not see me; and again a little, and you shall see me, because I go to the Father.¹⁷ And the disciples said one to another, What is this that he saith to us? A little (time), and you will not see me; and again a little (while), and you shall see me, and because I go to my Father.¹⁸ And they said, What is this little (time of) which he hath spoken?¹⁹ We know not what he saith. But Jeshu knew that they sought to ask him; and he said to them, Concerning this do you inquire together that I told you, A little (time), and you will not see me; and again a little, and you shall see me ?²⁰ Amen, amen, I tell you, That you will weep and lament, and the world will rejoice; and to you shall be sorrow; but your sorrow shall become joy.²¹ A woman, when she travaileth, hath sorrow, that the day hath come for her giving birth; but when she hath borne a son, she remembereth not her anguish, for joy that a child of man hath been born into the world.²² You also now have sorrow; but again I will see you, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.

²³ And in that day you will ask me nothing. Amen, amen, I tell you, That whatsoever you shall ask my Father in my name, he will give you.²⁴ Hitherto you have not asked any thing in my name : [fn] ask, and receive, that your joy may be full. ²⁵ These in parables I have spoken with you; but the hour cometh when I will not speak with you in parables, but manifestly; and I will announce to you concerning the Father.²⁶ In that day you shall ask in my name; and I say not to you that I will ask of the Father for you;²⁷ for the Father himself loveth you, because you have loved me, and have believed that from the Father I came forth.

²⁸ I came forth from the Father, and came into the world; and again I leave the world, and go unto the Father.²⁹ His disciples say to him, Behold, now openly speakest thou, and not one parable hast thou spoken.³⁰ Now know we that every thing thou knowest, and thou needest not that any man should ask thee. By this we believe that from Aloha thou hast come forth.³¹ JESHU saith to them, Believe !³² Behold, the hour shall come, and now cometh, that you will be dispersed (every) man to his place, and you will have left me alone. But I am not alone, because the Father is with me.³³ These have I said to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you shall have distress; but be of heart, I have conquered the world.
