New Testament

John 16

1These things I have spoken to you, that you should not be made to stumble.

ταυτα λελαληκα υμιν ινα μη σκανδαλισθητε.

2They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service.

αποσυναγωγους ποιησουσιν υμας· αλλ ερχεται ωρα ινα πας ο αποκτεινας υμας δοξη λατρειαν προσφερειν τω θεω.

3And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me.

και ταυτα ποιησουσιν, οτι ουκ εγνωσαν τον πατερα ουδε εμε.

4But these things I have told you, that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you of them.

αλλα ταυτα λελαληκα υμιν ινα οταν ελθη η ωρα, μνημονευητε αυτων οτι εγω ειπον υμιν. ταυτα δε υμιν εξ αρχης ουκ ειπον, οτι μεθ υμων ημην.

5'And these things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you. 'But now I go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, 'Where are You going?'

νυν δε υπαγω προς τον πεμψαντα με, και ουδεις εξ υμων ερωτα με που υπαγεις!

6But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.

αλλ οτι ταυτα λελαληκα υμιν, η λυπη πεπληρωκεν υμων την καρδιαν.

7Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.

αλλ εγω την αληθειαν λεγω υμιν· συμφερει υμιν ινα εγω απελθω. εαν γαρ εγω μη απελθω, ο παρακλητος ουκ ελευσεται προς υμας· εαν δε πορευθω, πεμψω αυτον προς υμας·

8And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

και ελθων εκεινος ελεγξει τον κοσμον περι αμαρτιας και περι δικαιοσυνης και περι κρισεως.

9of sin, because they do not believe in Me;

περι αμαρτιας μεν, οτι ου πιστευουσιν εις εμε·

10of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more;

περι δικαιοσυνης δε, οτι προς τον πατερα μου υπαγω και ουκετι θεωρειτε με·

11of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

περι δε κρισεως, οτι ο αρχων του κοσμου τουτου κεκριται.

12'I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.

ετι πολλα εχω λεγειν υμιν, αλλ ου δυνασθε βασταζειν αρτι.

13However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

οταν δε ελθη εκεινος, το πνευμα της αληθειας, οδηγησει υμας εις πασαν την αληθειαν· ου γαρ λαλησει αφ εαυτου, αλλ οσα αν ακουση λαλησει, και τα ερχομενα αναγγελει υμιν.

14He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.

εκεινος εμε δοξασει, οτι εκ του εμου ληψεται και αναγγελει υμιν.

15All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.

παντα οσα εχει ο πατηρ εμα εστιν· δια τουτο ειπον οτι εκ του εμου ληψεται και αναγγελει υμιν.

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.'

μικρον και ου θεωρειτε με, και παλιν μικρον και οψεσθε με, οτι εγω υπαγω προς τον πατερα.

17Then 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'?'

ειπον 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 εγω υπαγω προς τον πατερα;

18They said therefore, 'What is this that He says, 'A little while'? We do not know what He is saying.'

ελεγον ουν· τουτο τι εστιν ο λεγει το μικρον; ουκ οιδαμεν τι λαλει.

19Now 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'?

εγνω ουν 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;

20Most 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.

αμην αμην λεγω υμιν οτι κλαυσετε και θρηνησετε υμεις, ο δε κοσμος χαρησεται· υμεις δε λυπηθησεσθε, αλλ η λυπη υμων εις χαραν γενησεται.

21A 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.

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.

22Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you.

και υμεις ουν λυπην μεν νυν εχετε· παλιν δε οψομαι υμας και χαρησεται υμων η καρδια, και την χαραν υμων ουδεις αιρει αφ υμων.

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.

και εν εκεινη τη ημερα εμε ουκ ερωτησετε ουδεν· αμην αμην λεγω υμιν οτι οσα αν αιτησητε τον πατερα εν τω ονοματι μου, δωσει υμιν.

24Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

εως αρτι ουκ ητησατε ουδεν εν τω ονοματι μου· αιτειτε και ληψεσθε, ινα η χαρα υμων η πεπληρωμενη.

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.

ταυτα εν παροιμιαις λελαληκα υμιν· αλλ ερχεται ωρα οτε ουκετι εν παροιμιαις λαλησω υμιν, αλλα παρρησια περι του πατρος αναγγελω υμιν.

26In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you;

εν εκεινη τη ημερα εν τω ονοματι μου αιτησεσθε· και ου λεγω υμιν οτι εγω ερωτησω τον πατερα περι υμων·

27for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God.

αυτος γαρ ο πατηρ φιλει υμας, οτι υμεις εμε πεφιληκατε, και πεπιστευκατε οτι εγω παρα του θεου εξηλθον.

28I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.'

εξηλθον παρα του πατρος και εληλυθα εις τον κοσμον· παλιν αφιημι τον κοσμον και πορευομαι προς τον πατερα.

29His disciples said to Him, 'See, now You are speaking plainly, and using no figure of speech!

λεγουσιν αυτω οι μαθηται αυτου· ιδε νυν παρρησια λαλεις, και παροιμιαν ουδεμιαν λεγεις.

30Now 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.'

νυν οιδαμεν οτι οιδας παντα και ου χρειαν εχεις ινα τις σε ερωτα. εν τουτω πιστευομεν οτι απο θεου εξηλθες.

31Jesus answered them, 'Do you now believe?

απεκριθη αυτοις ο ιησους· αρτι πιστευετε·

32Indeed 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.

ιδου ερχεται ωρα, και νυν εληλυθεν, ινα σκορπισθητε εκαστος εις τα ιδια και εμε μονον αφητε· και ουκ ειμι μονος, οτι ο πατηρ μετ εμου εστιν.

33These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.'

ταυτα λελαληκα υμιν ινα εν εμοι ειρηνην εχητε. εν τω κοσμω θλιψιν εξετε· αλλα θαρσειτε, εγω νενικηκα τον κοσμον.
