All this I have told you so that you will not go astray.
They will put you out of the synagogue[ in fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service God.
They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me,
I have told you this, so that when the time comes you will remember that I warned you. I did not tell you this at first because I was with you.
"Now I am going to him who sent me yet none of you asks me, Where are you going?"
Because I have said these things, you are filled with grief.
But T tell you the truth; It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Gounselor will not come to you; but if I go. I will send him to you.
When he comes. he will convict the world of fuilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment;
in regard to sin, because men do n ot believe in me;
in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer,
and in regard to judgment, because the rpince of this world now stands condemned.
"I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.
But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. he will not speak on his own, he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.
He will cring glory to me by taking from what is mine, and making it known to you.
All that belongs to the Father is mine,:That is why I said the Spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you.
"In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me,"
Some of his disciples said to one another,"What does he mean by saying,"In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me. and Because I am going to the Father?"
They kept asking ,"What does he mean by a little while? We don't understand what he is saying."
Jesus saw that they wanted to ask him about this, so he said to them,"Are you asking one onother what I meant when I said, In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little, while you will weepme?
I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You willg rieve but your grief will turn to joy,
A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world.
So with you; Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy, rejoice, and no one will take awat your joy.
In that day you will no longer ask me anything , I tell you the truth , my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.
Until now you have not asked for anything in my name, Ask and you will receive ,and your joy will be complete.
"Though I have been speaking figuratively, a time is coming when I will no longer use this kind of language but will no longer use this kind of language but will tell you plainly about my Father.
In that day you will ask in my name, I am not saying that I will ask the Father. on your behalf.
No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me and have bnelieved that I CAME FROM gOD.
I came from the Father and entered teh world; now I am leaving the world and goinf back to the Father,"
Then Jesus disciples said, "Now you are speaking clearly and without figures of spech.
Now we can see that you know all things and that you do not even need to have anyone ask you wuestions. This makes us believe that you came from God."
"You believe at last!" Jesus answered,
"But a time is coming, and has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home, You will leave me all alone. yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me,
"I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace, In this world you will ahve trouble , But take heart! I have overcome the world."
John 17
After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed; "Father, the time has come, Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify
For you granted him authority ove all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given eternal life to all those you have given him.
Now this is eternal life; that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
I have brought you glory on eath by completing the work you gave me to do.
And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began
"I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours, you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word.
Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you,
For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them, They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.
I pray for them, I am not praying for the world, but for those you have is yours, and all you have is mine, And glory has come to me through them,
All I have is yours, and all you ahve is mine, And glory has come to me through them
I will remain in the world no longer but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you, Holy Father, proteced them by the power of your name- the name you gave me- son that they may be one as we are one.
While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me, Nine has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so taht Scripture would be fulfilled.
"I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world ,so that they may have thef ull measure of my joy within them.
I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.
My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.
They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.
Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.
As you sent me into the world I have sent them into the world.
For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.
"My prayer is not for them alone , I pray also for those who will believe in me though their message,
that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you, May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one;
I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
"Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before thec reation of the world.
"Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me.
I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them,"
