Notes on this text (1)
- New Testament only; original spelling.
1 These thinges have I sayde vnto you because ye shuld not be offended.
1 “I have said these things to you so that you wouldn’t be caused to stumble.
2 They shall excommunicat you: ye the tyme shall come that whosoever killeth you will thinke that he doth God service.
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 And suche thinges will they do vnto you because they have not knowen the father nether yet me.
3 They will do these things because they have not known the Father nor me.
4 But these thinges have I tolde you that when that houre is come ye myght remember them that I tolde you so. These thinges sayde I not unto you at the begynninge because I was present with you.
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 But now I goo my waye to him that sent me and none of you axeth me: whither goest thou?
5 But now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’
6 But because I have sayde suche thinges vnto you youre hertes are full of sorowe.
6 But because I have told you these things, sorrow has filled your heart.
7 Neverthelesse I tell you the trueth it is expedient for you that I goo awaye. For yf I goo not awaye that comforter will not come vnto you. But yf I departe I will sende him vnto you.
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 And when he is come he will rebuke the worlde of synne and of rightwesnes and of iudgement.
8 When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment;
9 Of synne because they beleve not on me:
9 about sin, because they don’t believe in me;
10 Of rightwesnes because I go to my father and ye shall se me no moare:
10 about righteousness, because I am going to my Father, and you won’t see me any more;
11 and of iudgement because the chefe ruler of this worlde is iudged all ready.
11 about judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.
12 I have yet many thinges to saye vnto you: but ye cannot beare them awaye now.
12 “I still have many things to tell you, but you can’t bear them now.
13 How be it when he is come (I meane the sprete of truthe) he will leade yon into all trueth. He shall not speake of him selfe: but whatsoever he shall heare that shall he speake and he will shewe you thinges to come.
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 He shall glorify me for he shall receave of myne and shall shewe vnto you.
14 He will glorify me, for he will take from what is mine and will declare it to you.
15 All thinges that the father hath aremyne. Therfore sayd I vnto you that he shall take of myne and shewe vnto you.
15 All things that the Father has are mine; therefore I said that he takes of mine and will declare it to you.
16 After a whyle ye shall not se me and agayne after a whyle ye shall se me: For I goo to the father.
16 “A little while, and you will not see me. Again a little while, and you will see me.”
17 Then sayd some of his disciples bitwene them selves: what is this that he sayth vnto vs after a whyle ye shall not se me and agayne after a whyle ye shall se me: and that I go to the father.
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 They sayd therfore: what is this that he sayth after a whyle? we cannot tell what he sayth.
18 They said therefore, “What is this that he says, ‘A little while’? We don’t know what he is saying.”
19 Iesus perceaved that they wolde axe him and sayd vnto them: This is it that ye enquyre of bitwene youre selves that I sayd after a whyle ye shall not se me and agayne after a whyle ye shall se me.
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 Verely verely I saye vnto you: ye shall wepe and lamet and the worlde shall reioyce. Ye shall sorowe: but youre sorowe shalbe tourned to ioye.
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 A woman when she traveyleth hath sorowe because her houre is come: but assone as she is delivered of the chylde she remembreth no moare the anguysshe for ioye that a man is borne in to the worlde.
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 And ye now are in sorowe: but I will se you agayne and youre hertes shall reioyce and youre ioye shall no man take from you.
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 And in that daye shall ye axe me no question. Verely verely I saye vnto you whatsoever ye shall axe the father in my name he will geve it you.
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 Hitherto have ye axed nothinge in my name. Axe and ye shall receave it: that youre ioye maye be full.
24 Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.
25 These thinges have I spoken vnto you in proverbes. The tyme will come when I shall no moare speake to you in proverbes: but I shall shewe you playnly from my father.
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 At that daye shall ye axe in myne name. And I saye not vnto you that I will speake vnto my father for you.
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 For the father him selfe loveth you because ye have loved me and have beleved that I came out from God.
27 for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came from God.
28 I went out from the father and came into the worlde: and I leve the worlde agayne and go to the father.
28 I came from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.”
29 His disciples sayd vnto him: loo now speakest thou playnly and thou vsest no proverbe.
29 His disciples said to him, “Behold, now you are speaking plainly, and using no figures of speech.
30 Nowe knowe we that thou vnderstondest all thinges and nedest not that eny man shuld axe the eny question. Therfore beleve we that thou camst from god.
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 Iesus answered them: Now ye do beleve.
31 Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe?
32 Beholde the houre draweth nye and is already come that ye shalbe scatered every man his wayes and shall leave me alone. And yet am I not alone. For the father is with me.
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 These wordes have I spoke vnto you that in me ye might have peace. For in the worlde shall ye have tribulacion: but be of good cheare I have over come the worlde.
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).
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 …

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.

… under their feet, and turn again and rend you." For the Lord Himself, although He never told a lie, yet showed that He was concealing certain truths, when He said, "I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now."

For, saith He, "In sorrow thou shalt bring forth children;" and, "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat thy bread;" and, "In the world ye shall have tribulation." But of our state there, no such word at all is spoken, but all the contrary; that "grief and sorrow and sighing have fled away." And that "men shall come …
