Mt 11.6; Jn 15.18–27 “I have said these things to you to keep you from falling away.#16.1 Or stumbling 2#Isa 66.5; Jn 9.22; Acts 26.9, 10; Rev 6.9They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, an hour is coming when those who kill you will think that by doing so they are offering worship to God. 3#Jn 15.21; 17.25; 1 Jn 3.1And they will do this because they have not known the Father or me. 4But I have said these things to you so that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you about them.
The Work of the Spirit
“I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you. 5#Jn 7.33But now I am going to him who sent me, yet none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ 6But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts. 7Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Advocate#16.7 Or Helper or Comforter will not come to you, but if I go, I will send him to you. 8And when he comes, he will prove the world wrong about#16.8 Or convict the world of sin and righteousness and judgment: 9about sin, because they do not believe in me; 10about righteousness, because I am going to the Father, and you will see me no longer; 11#Jn 12.31about judgment, because the ruler of this world has been condemned.

Mk 4.33
“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13#Jn 14.17, 26When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. 14He will glorify me because he will take what is mine and declare it to you. 15#Jn 17.10All that the Father has is mine. For this reason I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
Sorrow Will Turn into Joy

Jn 7.33; 13.3; 14.18–24 “A little while, and you will no longer see me, and again a little while, and you will see me.” 17Then some of his disciples said to one another, “What does he mean by saying to us, ‘A little while, and you will no longer see me, and again a little while, and you will see me,’ and ‘because I am going to the Father’?” 18They said, “What does he mean by this ‘a little while’? We do not know what he is talking about.” 19Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, so he said to them, “Are you discussing among yourselves what I meant when I said, ‘A little while, and you will no longer see me, and again a little while, and you will see me’? 20Very truly, I tell you, you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice; you will have pain, but your pain will turn into joy. 21#1 Thess 5.3When a woman is in labor, she has pain because her hour has come. But when her child is born, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy of having brought a human being into the world. 22#vv 6, 16So you have pain now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you. 23On that day you will ask nothing of me.#16.23 Or will ask me no question Very truly, I tell you, if you ask anything of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.#16.23 Other ancient authorities read Father, he will give it to you in my name 24#Jn 15.11Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.
Peace for the Disciples
25“I have said these things to you in figures of speech. The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures but will tell you plainly of the Father. 26On that day you will ask in my name. I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf, 27#Jn 14.21, 23for the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.#16.27 Other ancient authorities read the Father 28#Jn 13.3I came from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and am going to the Father.”
29His disciples said, “Yes, now you are speaking plainly, not in any figure of speech! 30#Jn 8.42Now we know that you know all things and do not need to have anyone question you; by this we believe that you came from God.” 31Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? 32#Mt 26.31; Mk 14.27The hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, each one to his home, and you will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone because the Father is with me. 33#Jn 14.27; Rom 8.37; Col 1.20; Rev 3.21I have said this to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you face persecution, but take courage: I have conquered the world!”
