5. The Predictions of Christ's Death and Resurrection..................... 16:16-33
Joh 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.Joh 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?Joh 16:18
They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.Joh 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?Joh 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.Joh 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.Joh 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.Joh 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.Joh 16:24
Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.Joh 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.Joh 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:Joh 16:27
For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.Joh 16:28
I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.Joh 16:29
His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.Joh 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.Joh 16:31
Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?Joh 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.Joh 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.
