John 16

Authored by: American Standard Version
16:1
Ταυτα λελαληκα υμιν ινα μη σκανδαλισθητε
These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be caused to stumble.
16:2
αποσυναγωγους ποιησουσιν υμας αλλ ερχεται ωρα ινα πας ο αποκτεινας υμας δοξη λατρειαν προσφερειν τω Θεω
They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the hour cometh, that whosoever killeth you shall think that he offereth service unto God.
16:3
και ταυτα ποιησουσιν οτι ουκ εγνωσαν τον Πατερα ουδε εμε
And these things will they do, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
16:4
αλλα ταυτα λελαληκα υμιν ινα οταν ελθη η ωρα αυτων μνημονευητε αυτων οτι εγω ειπον υμιν ταυτα δε υμιν εξ αρχης ουκ ειπον οτι μεθ υμων ημην
But these things have I spoken unto you, that when their hour is come, ye may remember them, how that I told you. And these things I said not unto you from the beginning, because I was with you.
16:5
Νυν δε υπαγω προς τον πεμψαντα με και ουδεις εξ υμων ερωτα με Που υπαγεις
But now I go unto him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?
16:6
αλλ οτι ταυτα λελαληκα υμιν η λυπη πεπληρωκεν υμων την καρδιαν
But because I have spoken these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
16:7
αλλ εγω την αληθειαν λεγω υμιν συμφερει υμιν ινα εγω απελθω εαν γαρ μη απελθω ο Παρακλητος ουκ ελευσεται προς υμας εαν δε πορευθω πεμψω αυτον προς υμας
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 go, I will send him unto you.

16:8
Και ελθων εκεινος ελεγξει τον κοσμον περι αμαρτιας και περι δικαιοσυνης και περι κρισεως
And he, when he is come, will convict the world in respect of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
16:9
περι αμαρτιας μεν οτι ου πιστευουσιν εις εμε
of sin, because they believe not on me;
16:10
περι δικαιοσυνης δε οτι προς τον Πατερα υπαγω και ουκετι θεωρειτε με
of righteousness, because I go to the Father, and ye behold me no more;
16:11
περι δε κρισεως οτι ο αρχων του κοσμου τουτου κεκριται
of judgment, because the prince of this world hath been judged.
16:12
Ετι πολλα εχω υμιν λεγειν αλλ ου δυνασθε βασταζειν αρτι
I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
16:13
οταν δε ελθη εκεινος το Πνευμα της αληθειας οδηγησει υμας εν τη αληθεια παση ου γαρ λαλησει αφ εαυτου αλλ οσα ακουσει λαλησει και τα ερχομενα αναγγελει υμιν
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but what things soever he shall hear, these shall he speak: and he shall declare unto you the things that are to come.
16:14
εκεινος εμε δοξασει οτι εκ του εμου λημψεται και αναγγελει υμιν
He shall glorify me: for he shall take of mine, and shall declare it unto you.
16:15
παντα οσα εχει ο Πατηρ εμα εστιν δια τουτο ειπον οτι εκ του εμου λαμβανει και αναγγελει υμιν
All things whatsoever the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he taketh of mine, and shall declare it unto you.
16:16
Μικρον και ουκετι θεωρειτε με και παλιν μικρον και οψεσθε με
A little while, and ye behold me no more; and again a little while, and ye shall see me.
16:17
Ειπαν ουν εκ των μαθητων αυτου προς αλληλους Τι εστιν τουτο ο λεγει ημιν Μικρον και ου θεωρειτε με και παλιν μικρον και οψεσθε με και Οτι υπαγω προς τον Πατερα
Some of his disciples therefore said one to another, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye behold me not; and again a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?
16:18
ελεγον ουν τι εστιν Τουτο ο λεγει Το μικρον ουκ οιδαμεν τι λαλει
They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? We know not what he saith.
16:19
Εγνω ο Ιησους οτι ηθελον αυτον ερωταν και ειπεν αυτοις Περι τουτου ζητειτε μετ αλληλων οτι ειπον Μικρον και ου θεωρειτε με και παλιν μικρον και οψεσθε με
Jesus perceived that they were desirous to ask him, and he said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, A little while, and ye behold me not, and again a little while, and ye shall see me?
16:20
αμην αμην λεγω υμιν οτι κλαυσετε και θρηνησετε υμεις ο δε κοσμος χαρησεται υμεις λυπηθησεσθε αλλ η λυπη υμων εις χαραν γενησεται
Verily, verily, I say unto you, that ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
16:21
η γυνη οταν τικτη λυπην εχει οτι ηλθεν η ωρα αυτης οταν δε γεννηση το παιδιον ουκετι μνημονευει της θλιψεως δια την χαραν οτι εγεννηθη ανθρωπος εις τον κοσμον
A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but when she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for the joy that a man is born into the world.
16:22
και υμεις ουν νυν μεν λυπην εχετε παλιν δε οψομαι υμας και χαρησεται υμων η καρδια και την χαραν υμων ουδεις αιρει αφ υμων
And ye therefore now have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one taketh away from you.
16:23
Και εν εκεινη τη ημερα εμε ουκ ερωτησετε ουδεν αμην αμην λεγω υμιν αν τι αιτησητε τον Πατερα εν τω ονοματι μου δωσει υμιν
And in that day ye shall ask me no question. Verily, verily, I say unto you, If ye shall ask anything of the Father, he will give it you in my name.
16:24
εως αρτι ουκ ητησατε ουδεν εν τω ονοματι μου αιτειτε και λημψεσθε ινα η χαρα υμων η πεπληρωμενη
Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be made full.
16:25
Ταυτα εν παροιμιαις λελαληκα υμιν ερχεται ωρα οτε ουκετι εν παροιμιαις λαλησω υμιν αλλα παρρησια περι του Πατρος απαγγελω υμιν
These things have I spoken unto you in dark sayings: the hour cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in dark sayings, but shall tell you plainly of the Father.
16:26
εν εκεινη τη ημερα εν τω ονοματι μου αιτησεσθε και ου λεγω υμιν οτι εγω ερωτησω τον Πατερα περι υμων
In that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you;
16:27
αυτος γαρ ο Πατηρ φιλει υμας οτι υμεις εμε πεφιληκατε και πεπιστευκατε οτι εγω παρα του Θεου εξηλθον
for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from the Father.
16:28
εξηλθον παρα του Πατρος και εληλυθα εις τον κοσμον παλιν αφιημι τον κοσμον και πορευομαι προς τον Πατερα
I came out from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go unto the Father.
16:29
Λεγουσιν οι μαθηται αυτου Ιδε νυν εν παρρησια λαλεις και παροιμιαν ουδεμιαν λεγεις
His disciples say, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no dark saying.
16:30
νυν οιδαμεν οτι οιδας παντα και ου χρειαν εχεις ινα τις σε ερωτα εν τουτω πιστευομεν οτι απο Θεου εξηλθες
Now know we that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.
16:31
Απεκριθη αυτοις Ιησους Αρτι πιστευετε
Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?
16:32
ιδου ερχεται ωρα και εληλυθεν ινα σκορπισθητε εκαστος εις τα ιδια καμε μονον αφητε και ουκ ειμι μονος οτι ο Πατηρ μετ εμου εστιν
Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is 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.
16:33
ταυτα λελαληκα υμιν ινα εν εμοι ειρηνην εχητε εν τω κοσμω θλιψιν εχετε αλλα θαρσειτε εγω νενικηκα τον κοσμον
These things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye may have peace. In the world ye have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Better for them that he leaves

Why does Jesus tell his disciples it's actually better for them if he leaves, since his departure is what allows the Holy Spirit to come?
