1 Сїѧ̑ гл҃ахъ ва́мъ, да не соблазните́сѧ.
1 “I have said these things to you so that you wouldn’t be caused to stumble.
2 Ѿ со́нмищъ и҆жденꙋ́тъ вы̀: но прїи́детъ ча́съ, да всѧ́къ, и҆́же ᲂу҆бїе́тъ вы̀, возмни́тсѧ слꙋ́жбꙋ приноси́ти бг҃ꙋ:
2 They will put you out of the synagogues. Yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers service to God.
3 и҆ сїѧ̑ сотворѧ́тъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не позна́ша ѻ҆ц҃а̀, ни менє̀.
3 They will do these things because they have not known the Father nor me.
4 Но сїѧ̑ гл҃ахъ ва́мъ, да, є҆гда̀ прїи́детъ ча́съ, воспомѧ́нете сїѧ̑, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ рѣ́хъ ва́мъ: си́хъ же ва́мъ и҆спе́рва не рѣ́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ съ ва́ми бѣ́хъ.
4 But I have told you these things so that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you about them. I didn’t tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.
5 Нн҃ѣ же и҆дꙋ̀ къ посла́вшемꙋ мѧ̀, и҆ никто́же ѿ ва́съ вопроша́етъ менѐ: ка́мѡ и҆́деши;
5 But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’
6 Но ꙗ҆́кѡ сїѧ̑ гл҃ахъ ва́мъ, ско́рби и҆спо́лнихъ сердца̀ ва̑ша.
6 But because I have told you these things, sorrow has filled your heart.
7 Но а҆́зъ и҆́стинꙋ ва́мъ гл҃ю: ᲂу҆́не є҆́сть ва́мъ, да а҆́зъ и҆дꙋ̀: а҆́ще бо не и҆дꙋ̀ а҆́зъ, ᲂу҆тѣ́шитель не прїи́детъ къ ва́мъ: а҆́ще (ли) же и҆дꙋ̀, послю̀ є҆го̀ къ ва́мъ,
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I don’t go away, the Counselor won’t come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.
8 и҆ прише́дъ ѻ҆́нъ ѡ҆бличи́тъ мі́ръ ѡ҆ грѣсѣ̀ и҆ ѡ҆ пра́вдѣ и҆ ѡ҆ сꙋдѣ̀:
8 When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment;
9 ѡ҆ грѣсѣ̀ ᲂу҆́бѡ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не вѣ́рꙋютъ въ мѧ̀:
9 about sin, because they don’t believe in me;
10 ѡ҆ пра́вдѣ же, ꙗ҆́кѡ ко ѻ҆ц҃ꙋ̀ моемꙋ̀ и҆дꙋ̀, и҆ ктомꙋ̀ не ви́дите менє̀:
10 about righteousness, because I am going to my Father, and you won’t see me any more;
11 ѡ҆ сꙋдѣ́ же, ꙗ҆́кѡ кнѧ́зь мі́ра сегѡ̀ ѡ҆сꙋжде́нъ бы́сть.
11 about judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.
12 Є҆щѐ мно́гѡ и҆́мамъ гл҃ати ва́мъ, но не мо́жете носи́ти нн҃ѣ:
12 “I still have many things to tell you, but you can’t bear them now.
13 є҆гда́ же прїи́детъ ѻ҆́нъ, дх҃ъ и҆́стины, наста́витъ вы̀ на всѧ́кꙋ и҆́стинꙋ: не ѿ себє́ бо гл҃ати и҆́мать, но є҆ли̑ка а҆́ще ᲂу҆слы́шитъ, гл҃ати и҆́мать, и҆ грѧдꙋ̑щаѧ возвѣсти́тъ ва́мъ:
13 However, when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.
14 ѻ҆́нъ мѧ̀ просла́витъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ моегѡ̀ прїи́метъ и҆ возвѣсти́тъ ва́мъ.
14 He will glorify me, for he will take from what is mine and will declare it to you.
15 Всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка и҆́мать ѻ҆ц҃ъ, моѧ̑ сꙋ́ть: сегѡ̀ ра́ди рѣ́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ моегѡ̀ прїи́метъ и҆ возвѣсти́тъ ва́мъ.
15 All things that the Father has are mine; therefore I said that he takes of mine and will declare it to you.
16 Вма́лѣ, и҆ (ктомꙋ̀) не ви́дите менє̀: и҆ па́ки вма́лѣ, и҆ ᲂу҆́зрите мѧ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆дꙋ̀ ко ѻ҆ц҃ꙋ̀.
16 “A little while, and you will not see me. Again a little while, and you will see me.”
17 Рѣ́ша же ѿ ᲂу҆чн҃къ є҆гѡ̀ къ себѣ̀: что̀ є҆́сть сїѐ, є҆́же гл҃етъ на́мъ: вма́лѣ, и҆ не ви́дите менє̀: и҆ па́ки вма́лѣ, и҆ ᲂу҆́зрите мѧ̀: и҆: ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ и҆дꙋ̀ ко ѻ҆ц҃ꙋ̀;
17 Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me;’ and, ‘Because I go to the Father’?”
18 Глаго́лахꙋ ᲂу҆̀бо: что̀ сїѐ є҆́сть, є҆́же гл҃етъ: вма́лѣ; не вѣ́мы, что̀ гл҃етъ.
18 They said therefore, “What is this that he says, ‘A little while’? We don’t know what he is saying.”
19 Разꙋмѣ́ же і҆и҃съ, ꙗ҆́кѡ хотѧ́хꙋ є҆го̀ вопроша́ти, и҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ: ѡ҆ се́мъ ли стѧза́етесѧ междꙋ̀ собо́ю, ꙗ҆́кѡ рѣ́хъ: вма́лѣ, и҆ не ви́дите менє̀: и҆ па́ки вма́лѣ, и҆ ᲂу҆́зрите мѧ̀;
19 Therefore Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, “Do you inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me’?
20 а҆ми́нь, а҆ми́нь гл҃ю ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ воспла́четесѧ и҆ возрыда́ете вы̀, а҆ мі́ръ возра́дꙋетсѧ: вы́ же печа́льни бꙋ́дете, но печа́ль ва́ша въ ра́дость бꙋ́детъ:
20 Most certainly I tell you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.
21 жена̀ є҆гда̀ ражда́етъ, ско́рбь и҆́мать, ꙗ҆́кѡ прїи́де го́дъ є҆ѧ̀: є҆гда́ же роди́тъ ѻ҆троча̀, ктомꙋ̀ не по́мнитъ ско́рби за ра́дость, ꙗ҆́кѡ роди́сѧ человѣ́къ въ мі́ръ:
21 A woman, when she gives birth, has sorrow because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she doesn’t remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is born into the world.
22 и҆ вы́ же печа́ль и҆́мате ᲂу҆́бѡ нн҃ѣ: па́ки же ᲂу҆зрю́ вы, и҆ возра́дꙋетсѧ се́рдце ва́ше, и҆ ра́дости ва́шеѧ никто́же во́зметъ ѿ ва́съ:
22 Therefore you now have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.
23 и҆ въ то́й де́нь менѐ не воспро́сите ничесѡ́же. А҆ми́нь, а҆ми́нь гл҃ю ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆ли̑ка а҆́ще (чесѡ̀) про́сите ѿ ѻ҆ц҃а̀ во и҆́мѧ моѐ, да́стъ ва́мъ:
23 “In that day you will ask me no questions. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.
24 досе́лѣ не проси́сте ничесѡ́же во и҆́мѧ моѐ: проси́те, и҆ прїи́мете, да ра́дость ва́ша и҆спо́лнена бꙋ́детъ.
24 Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.
25 Сїѧ̑ въ при́тчахъ гл҃ахъ ва́мъ: но прїи́детъ ча́съ, є҆гда̀ ктомꙋ̀ въ при́тчахъ не гл҃ю ва́мъ, но ꙗ҆́вѣ ѡ҆ ѻ҆ц҃ѣ̀ возвѣщꙋ̀ ва́мъ.
25 “I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.
26 Въ то́й де́нь во и҆́мѧ моѐ воспро́сите, и҆ не гл҃ю ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ ᲂу҆молю̀ ѻ҆ц҃а̀ ѡ҆ ва́съ:
26 In that day you will ask in my name; and I don’t say to you that I will pray to the Father for you,
27 са́мъ бо ѻ҆ц҃ъ лю́битъ вы̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ вы̀ менѐ возлюби́сте и҆ вѣ́ровасте, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ ѿ бг҃а и҆зыдо́хъ.
27 for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came from God.
28 И҆зыдо́хъ ѿ ѻ҆ц҃а̀ и҆ прїидо́хъ въ мі́ръ: (и҆) па́ки ѡ҆ставлѧ́ю мі́ръ и҆ и҆дꙋ̀ ко ѻ҆ц҃ꙋ̀.
28 I came from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.”
29 Глаго́лаша є҆мꙋ̀ ᲂу҆чн҃цы̀ є҆гѡ̀: сѐ, нн҃ѣ не ѡ҆бинꙋ́ѧсѧ гл҃еши, а҆ при́тчи никоеѧ́же не гл҃еши:
29 His disciples said to him, “Behold, now you are speaking plainly, and using no figures of speech.
30 нн҃ѣ вѣ́мы, ꙗ҆́кѡ вѣ́си всѧ̑ и҆ не тре́бꙋеши, да кто̀ тѧ̀ вопроша́етъ: ѡ҆ се́мъ вѣ́рꙋемъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ бг҃а и҆зше́лъ є҆сѝ.
30 Now we know that you know all things, and don’t need for anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came from God.”
31 Ѿвѣща̀ и҆̀мъ і҆и҃съ: нн҃ѣ ли вѣ́рꙋете;
31 Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe?
32 сѐ, грѧде́тъ ча́съ, и҆ нн҃ѣ прїи́де, да разы́детесѧ кі́йждо во своѧ̑ и҆ менѐ є҆ди́наго ѡ҆ста́вите: и҆ нѣ́смь є҆ди́нъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆ц҃ъ со мно́ю є҆́сть:
32 Behold, the time is coming, yes, and has now come, that you will be scattered, everyone to his own place, and you will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
33 сїѧ̑ гл҃ахъ ва́мъ, да во мнѣ̀ ми́ръ и҆́мате: въ мі́рѣ ско́рбни бꙋ́дете: но дерза́йте, (ꙗ҆́кѡ) а҆́зъ побѣди́хъ мі́ръ.
33 I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble; but cheer up! I have overcome the world.”

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary 16:7 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon XCIII)

    The medicine for all the wounds of the soul, and the one propitiation for the offences of men, is to believe on Christ; nor can any one be cleansed at all, whether from original sin which he derived from Adam, in whom all men have sinned, and become by nature children of wrath; or from the sins which they have …

    When the Lord Jesus had foretold His disciples the persecutions they would have to suffer after His departure, He went on to say: "And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you; but now I go my way to Him that sent me." And here the first thing we have to look at …

  3. Commentary 16:4 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of John (Homily LXXVIII)

    Great is the tyranny of despondency, and much courage do we need so as to stand manfully against the feeling, and after gathering from it what is useful, to let the superfluous go.
