John 16:10-20

10 and concerning ¹righteousness, because ²I go to the Father and you no longer see Me;

11 ³and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

12 "I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot * bear them now.

13 "But when He, ⁴the Spirit of truth, comes, He will ⁵guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.

14 "He will ⁶glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you.

15 "⁷All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore * I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you.

Jesus' Death and Resurrection Foretold

16 "⁸A little while, and ⁹you will no longer see Me; and again a little while, and ¹⁰you will see Me."

17 Some of His disciples then said to one another, "What is this thing He is telling us, '¹¹A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me'; and, 'because ¹²I go to the Father '?"

18 So they were saying, "What is this that He says, 'A little while '? We do not know what He is talking about."

19 ¹³Jesus knew that they wished to question Him, and He said to them, "Are you deliberating together * about this, that I said, 'A little while, and you will not see Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me'?

20 "Truly, truly, I say to you, that ¹⁴you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will grieve, but ¹⁵your grief will be turned into joy.
