John

Chapter 16

1 I HAVE spoken these things to you, so that you may not stumble.

2 For they will put you out of their synagogues; and the hour will come that whoever kills you, will think that he has offered an offering to God.

3 And these things they will do, because they have not known my Father, nor me.

4 I have spoken these things to you, that when their time does come, you may remember them, and that I told you. And these things I did not tell you before, because I was with you.

5 But now I am going to him who sent me, and yet no one of you asks me, Where are you going?

6 But because I told you these things, sorrow has come and filled your hearts.

7 But I tell you the truth, It is better for you that I should go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I should go, I will send him to you.

8 And when he is come, he will rebuke the world concerning sin, concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment.

9 Concerning sin, because they do not believe in me;

10 Concerning righteousness, because I go to my Father, and you will not see me again;

11 Concerning judgment, because the leader of this world has been judged.

12 Again, I have many other things to tell you, but you cannot grasp them now.

13 But when the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak from himself, but what he hears that he will speak; and he will make known to you things which are to come in the future.

14 He will glorify me; because he will take of my own and show to you.

15 Everything that my Father has is mine; this is the reason why I told you that he will take of my own and show to you.

16 A little while, and you will not see me; and again a little while, and you will see me, because I am going to the Father.

17 Then his disciples said to one another, What is this that he said to us, A little while, and you will not see me; and again a little while, and you will see me; and, because I am going to my Father?

18 And they said, What is this that he said, A little while? We cannot understand what he talks about.

19 Jesus knew that they desired to ask him, and he said to them, Are you inquiring among yourselves concerning this, that I told you, 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 you will weep and wail, and yet the world will rejoice; and you will be sad, but your sadness will be changed into gladness.

21 When a woman is in travail, she is depressed, because her day has arrived; but when she has given birth to a son, she no longer remembers her troubles, because of the joy that a male child * is born into the world.

22 So you also are depressed; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no man will take away from you.

23 In that day you will not ask me anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, that whatever you ask my Father in my name, he will give it to you.

24 Hitherto you have asked nothing in my name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be full.

25 I have spoken these things in figures; but the time is coming, when I will not speak to you in figures, but will plainly explain to you concerning the Father.

26 In that day you will ask in my name; and I will not say to you, I will ask the Father concerning you.

27 For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from the Father.

28 I came forth from the Father, and I came into the world; again, I am leaving the world and I am going to the Father.

29 His disciples said to him, Behold, now you speak plainly, and do not utter a single figure.

30 Now we understand that you know everything; and you need no man to ask you; by this we believe that you have come forth from God.

31 Jesus said to them, Believe it.

32 For behold, the hour is coming, and it has now come, when you will be dispersed, every man to his own country, and you will leave me alone; and yet I am never alone, because the Father is with me.

33 These things I have said to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but have courage; I have conquered the world.

第16章

1 「我已將這些事告訴你們,使你們不至於生氣[offended]

2 人要把你們趕出會堂,並且時候將到,凡殺你們的就以為是事奉神。

3 他們對你們[unto you]這樣行,是因未曾認識父,也未曾認識我。

4 我將這些事[these things]告訴你們,是叫你們到了時候可以想起我對你們說過了。我起先沒有將這些事[these things]告訴你們,因為我與你們同在。

5 現今我往差我來的父那裏去,你們中間並沒有人問我:『你往哪裏去?』

6 只因我將這些事[these things]告訴你們,你們就滿心憂愁。

7 然而,我將真理[truth]告訴你們,我去是與你們有益的;我若不去,安慰者[Comforter]就不到你們這裏來;我若離去[depart],就差他到你們這裏[unto you]來。

8 他既來了,就[will]為罪、為義、為審判責備世人[reprove the world]

9 為罪,是因他們不信我;

10 為義,是因我往[my]父那裏去,你們就不再見我;

11 為審判,是因這世界的王受了審判。」

12 「我還有許多[many]事要告訴你們,但你們現在擔當不了[cannot bear]

13 只等真理的[Spirit]來了,他要引導你們進入[into]一切的真理;因為他不是憑自己說的,乃是把他所聽見的都說出來,並要把將來的事告訴你們。

14 他要榮耀我,因為他要將受於我的指示[shew]你們。

15 凡父所有的,都是我的;所以我說,他要將受於我的指示[shew]你們。」

16 「等不多時,你們就不得見我;再等不多時,你們還要見我,因我往父那裏去[because I go to the Father]。」

17 有幾個門徒就彼此說:「他對我們說:『等不多時,你們就不得見我;再等不多時,你們還要見我。』又說:『因我往父那裏去。』這是甚麼意思呢?」

18 門徒彼此說:「他說『等不多時』到底是甚麼意思呢?我們道不出[cannot tell]他所說的是甚麼[what]。」

19 耶穌知道[knew]他們要問他,就說:「我說『等不多時,你們就不得見我;再等不多時,你們還要見我』,你們為這話彼此相問嗎?

20 我實實在在的告訴你們,你們將要痛哭、哀號,世人倒要喜樂;你們將要憂愁,然而你們的憂愁要變為喜樂。

21 婦人陣痛[travail]的時候就憂愁,因為她的時候到了;既生了孩子,就不再記念那苦楚,因為歡喜世上生了一個人。

22 你們現在也是憂愁;但我要再見你們,你們的心就喜樂了,這喜樂也沒有人能奪去。

23 到那日,你們甚麼也就不問我了。我實實在在的告訴你們,你們若奉我的名[in my name]向父求甚麼,他必賜給你們[he will give it you]

24 向來你們沒有奉我的名求甚麼,如今你們求,就必得著,叫你們的喜樂可以滿足。」

25 「這些事,我是用比喻對你們說的;時候將到,我不再用比喻對你們說,乃要將父明明的顯給[shew]你們。

26 到那日,你們要奉我的名祈求;我並不對你們說,我要為你們求父。

27 父自己愛你們;因為你們已經愛我,又信我是從[God]出來的。

28 我從父出來,到了世界;我又離開世界,往父那裏去。」

29 門徒說:「看哪[lo],如今你是明說,並不用比喻了。

30 現在我們確知[sure]你凡事都知道,也不用人問你;因此我們信你是從神出來的。」

31 耶穌說:「現在你們信嗎?

32 看哪,時候將到,且是已經到了,你們要分散,各歸自己的地方去,留下我獨自一人;其實我不是獨自一人,因為有父與我同在。

33 我將這些事告訴你們,是要叫你們在我裏面有平安。在世上,你們有苦難;但你們可以放心,我已經勝了世界。」

21 When a woman is in travail, she is depressed, because her day has arrived; but when she has given birth to a son, she no longer remembers her troubles, because of the joy that a male child * is born into the world.

21 婦人陣痛[travail]的時候就憂愁,因為她的時候到了;既生了孩子,就不再記念那苦楚,因為歡喜世上生了一個人。

22 So you also are depressed; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no man will take away from you.

27 For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from the Father.

27 父自己愛你們;因為你們已經愛我,又信我是從[God]出來的。

28 I came forth from the Father, and I came into the world; again, I am leaving the world and I am going to the Father.

28 我從父出來,到了世界;我又離開世界,往父那裏去。」

29 His disciples said to him, Behold, now you speak plainly, and do not utter a single figure.

29 門徒說:「看哪[lo],如今你是明說,並不用比喻了。

30 Now we understand that you know everything; and you need no man to ask you; by this we believe that you have come forth from God.

30 現在我們確知[sure]你凡事都知道,也不用人問你;因此我們信你是從神出來的。」

31 Jesus said to them, Believe it.

31 耶穌說:「現在你們信嗎?

32 For behold, the hour is coming, and it has now come, when you will be dispersed, every man to his own country, and you will leave me alone; and yet I am never alone, because the Father is with me.

32 看哪,時候將到,且是已經到了,你們要分散,各歸自己的地方去,留下我獨自一人;其實我不是獨自一人,因為有父與我同在。

33 These things I have said to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but have courage; I have conquered the world.

33 我將這些事告訴你們,是要叫你們在我裏面有平安。在世上,你們有苦難;但你們可以放心,我已經勝了世界。」
