John.16.13

But when the Friend comes, the Spirit of the Truth, he will take you by the hand and guide you into all the truth there is. He won't draw attention to himself, but will make sense out of what is about to happen and, indeed, out of all that I have done and said.

John.16.16

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.

John.16.16

"In a day or so you're not going to see me, but then in another day or so you will see me."

John.16.16

"In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me."

John.16.16

"A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me, because I go to the Father."

John.16.16

"In just a little while I will be gone, and you won't see me anymore. Then, just a little while after that, you will see me again."

John.16.17

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?

John.16.17

That stirred up a hornet's nest of questions among the disciples: "What's he talking about: "In a day or so you're not going to see me, but then in another day or so you will see me'? And, "Because I'm on my way to the Father'?

John.16.17

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,' and 'Because I am going to the Father'?"

John.16.17

Then some of His disciples said among themselves, "What is this that He says to 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'?"

John.16.17

The disciples asked each other, "What does he mean when he says, 'You won't see me, and then you will see me'? And what does he mean when he says, 'I am going to the Father'?

John.16.18

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

John.16.18

What is this "day or so'? We don't know what he's talking about."

John.16.18

They kept asking, "What does he mean by 'a little while'? We don't understand what he is saying."

John.16.18

They said therefore, "What is this that He says, "A little while'? We do not know what He is saying."

John.16.18

And what does he mean by 'a little while'? We don't understand."

John.16.19

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?

John.16.19

Jesus knew they were dying to ask him what he meant, so he said, "Are you trying to figure out among yourselves what I meant when I said, "In a day or so you're not going to see me, but then in another day or so you will see me'?

John.16.19

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'?

John.16.19

Now Jesus knew that they desired to ask Him, and He said to them, "Are you inquiring among yourselves about what I said, "A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me'?

John.16.19

Jesus realized they wanted to ask him, so he said, "Are you asking yourselves what I meant? I said in just a little while I will be gone, and you won't see me anymore. Then, just a little while after that, you will see me again.

John.16.20

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.

John.16.20

Then fix this firmly in your minds: You're going to be in deep mourning while the godless world throws a party. You'll be sad, very sad, but your sadness will develop into gladness.

John.16.20

I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.

John.16.20

Most assuredly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

John.16.20

Truly, you will weep and mourn over what is going to happen to me, but the world will rejoice. You will grieve, but your grief will suddenly turn to wonderful joy when you see me again.

John.16.21

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.

John.16.21

"When a woman gives birth, she has a hard time, there's no getting around it. But when the baby is born, there is joy in the birth. This new life in the world wipes out memory of the pain.

John.16.21

A woman giving birth to a child has pain 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.

John.16.21

A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because her hour has come; but as soon as she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world.

John.16.21

It will be like a woman experiencing the pains of labor. When her child is born, her anguish gives place to joy because she has brought a new person into the world.

John.16.22

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.

John.16.22

The sadness you have right now is similar to that pain, but the coming joy is also similar. When I see you again, you'll be full of joy, and it will be a joy no one can rob from you.

John.16.22

So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.

John.16.22

Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you.

John.16.22

You have sorrow now, but I will see you again; then you will rejoice, and no one can rob you of that joy.

John.16.23

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.

John.16.23

You'll no longer be so full of questions. "This is what I want you to do: Ask the Father for whatever is in keeping with the things I've revealed to you.

John.16.23

In that day you will no longer ask me anything. I tell you the truth, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.

John.16.23

"And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you.

John.16.23

At that time you won't need to ask me for anything. The truth is, you can go directly to the Father and ask him, and he will grant your request because you use my name.

John.16.24

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

John.16.24

Ask in my name, according to my will, and he'll most certainly give it to you. Your joy will be a river overflowing its banks!

John.16.24

Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.

John.16.24

Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

John.16.24

You haven't done this before. Ask, using my name, and you will receive, and you will have abundant joy.

John.16.25

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.

John.16.25

"I've used figures of speech in telling you these things. Soon I'll drop the figures and tell you about the Father in plain language.

John.16.25

"Though I have been speaking figuratively, a time is coming when I will no longer use this kind of language but will tell you plainly about my Father.

John.16.25

"These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell you plainly about the Father.

John.16.25

"I have spoken of these matters in parables, but the time will come when this will not be necessary, and I will tell you plainly all about the Father.

John.16.26

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

John.16.26

Then you can make your requests directly to him in relation to this life I've revealed to you. I won't continue making requests of the Father on your behalf.

John.16.26

In that day you will ask in my name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf.

John.16.26

In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you;

John.16.26

Then you will ask in my name. I'm not saying I will ask the Father on your behalf,

John.16.27

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

John.16.27

I won't need to. Because you've gone out on a limb, committed yourselves to love and trust in me, believing I came directly from the Father, the Father loves you directly.

John.16.27

No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.

John.16.27

for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God.

John.16.27

for the Father himself loves you dearly because you love me and believe that I came from God.

John.16.28

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

John.16.28

First, I left the Father and arrived in the world; now I leave the world and travel to the Father."

John.16.28

I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father."

John.16.28

I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father."

John.16.28

Yes, I came from the Father into the world, and I will leave the world and return to the Father."

John.16.29

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

John.16.29

His disciples said, "Finally! You're giving it to us straight, in plain talk--no more figures of speech.

John.16.29

Then Jesus' disciples said, "Now you are speaking clearly and without figures of speech.

John.16.29

His disciples said to Him, "See, now You are speaking plainly, and using no figure of speech!

John.16.29

Then his disciples said, "At last you are speaking plainly and not in parables.

John.16.30

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.

John.16.30

Now we know that you know everything--it all comes together in you. You won't have to put up with our questions anymore. We're convinced you came from God."

John.16.30

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 that you came from God."

John.16.30

Now we are sure that You know all things, and have no need that anyone should question You. By this we believe that You came forth from God."

John.16.30

Now we understand that you know everything and don't need anyone to tell you anything. From this we believe that you came from God."

John.16.31

Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?

John.16.31

Jesus answered them, "Do you finally believe?

John.16.31

"You believe at last!" Jesus answered.

John.16.31

Jesus answered them, "Do you now believe?

John.16.31

Jesus asked, "Do you finally believe?

John.16.32

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.

John.16.32

In fact, you're about to make a run for it--saving your own skins and abandoning me. But I'm not abandoned. The Father is with me.

John.16.32

"But a time is coming, and has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home. You will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me.

John.16.32

Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, each to his own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.

But the time is coming--in fact, it is already here--when you will be scattered, each one going his own way, leaving me alone. Yet I am not alone because the Father is with me.

John.16.33

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.

John.16.33

"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."

John.16.33

I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world."

John.17.1

These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:

John.17.1

Jesus said these things. Then, raising his eyes in prayer, he said: Father, it's time. Display the bright splendor of your Son So the Son in turn may show your bright splendor.

John.17.1

After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed:

John.17.1

Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: "Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You,

John.17.1

When Jesus had finished saying all these things, he looked up to heaven and said, "Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son so he can give glory back to you.

John.17.2

As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

John.17.2

"Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him.

John.17.2

as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him.

John.17.2

For you have given him authority over everyone in all the earth. He gives eternal life to each one you have given him.

John.17.3

And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

John.17.3

And this is the real and eternal life: That they know you, The one and only true God, And Jesus Christ, whom you sent.

John.17.3

Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.

John.17.3

And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
