1 I have spoken these things to you in order that you are not entrapped. 2 They will have you put out of the assembly halls. But the hour comes when anyone slaying you would suppose to be offering a service to Yahweh. 3 And they shall do these things because they have not known the Father nor Me. 4 But I have spoken these things to you in order that when their hour should come you may remember that I told you of them. Yet I did not tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you. 5 But now I go to He who had sent Me, and not one from among you should ask Me 'Where do You go?' 6 But because I have spoken these things to you, grief has filled your hearts. 7 Yet I speak the truth to you: it is an advantage to you that I depart. For if I would not depart, the Advocate shall not come to you. But if I go, I shall send Him to you. 8 And coming He shall convict Society concerning error and concerning righteousness and concerning judgment. 9 Indeed concerning error, because they do not believe in Me. 10 Then concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you shall see Me no longer. 11 Then concerning judgment, because the ruler of this Society has been judged. " 12 Many things have I to say to you, but you are not able to bear them even now. 13 But when He should come, the Spirit of Truth, He shall guide you in all truth. For He shall not speak by Himself, but as many things as He shall hear, He shall speak and He shall report to you the coming things. 14 He honors Me, because He shall receive from of Me and shall report it to you. 15 All things as much as the Father has are Mine. For this reason I said that He receives from of Me and reports to you. " 16 Shortly and you shall no longer see Me, then again shortly and you shall see Me." 17 Therefore some from among His students said to one another: "What is this which He says to us, 'Shortly and you shall not see Me, then again shortly and you shall see Me', and that 'I go to the Father'?" 18 Then they said: "What is this He speaks, 'Shortly'? We do not know what He says!" 19 Yahshua knew that they desired to ask Him, and He said to them: "Concerning this you inquire with one another because I said 'Shortly and you shall not see Me, then again shortly and you shall see Me'? 20 Truly, truly I say to you that you shall weep and lament, but Society shall rejoice. You shall be grieved, but your grief shall be made into joy. 21 When a woman gives birth she has pain, because her hour has come. But when she should give birth to the child, no longer does she remember the distress on account of the joy because a man has been born into Society. 22 Therefore you also have grief indeed, but I shall see you again, and your hearts shall rejoice, and no one takes your joy from you. " 23 And in that day you shall ask Me nothing. Truly, truly I say to you, anything you shall ask the Father in My Name He shall give to you. 24 Until now you have asked nothing in My Name. Ask and you shall receive, that your joy would be fulfilled. " 25 I have spoken these things to you in parables. The hour comes when I shall no longer speak to you in parables, but with frankness I shall report to you concerning the Father. 26 In that day you shall ask in My Name, and I do not say to you that I shall ask the Father for you. 27 For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and you have believed that I came out from Yahweh. 28 I came from the Father and I spoke to Society. Again I leave Society and I go to the Father." 29 His students say: "Look, now You speak with frankness and speak not with any parable. 30 We know that You know all things and You have no reason that one should question You. By this we believe that You have come out from Yahweh." 31 Yahshua replied to them: "Even now do you believe? 32 Behold, the hour comes and has come that you shall be scattered each to his own affairs and you will leave Me alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me! 33 I have spoken these things to you that in Me you should have peace. In Society you have distress, but you must have courage, I have prevailed over Society!"
