Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 'These things I have spoken to you, that ye may not be stumbled,
1 ESTAS cosas os he hablado, para que no os escandalicéis.
2 out of the synagogues they will put you; but an hour doth come, that every one who hath killed you, may think to offer service unto God;
2 Os echarán de las sinagogas; y aun viene la hora, cuando cualquiera que os matare, pensará que hace servicio á Dios.
3 and these things they will do to you, because they did not know the Father, nor me.
3 Y estas cosas os harán, porque no conocen al Padre ni á mí.
4 'But these things I have spoken to you, that when the hour may come, ye may remember them, that I said [them] to you, and these things to you from the beginning I did not say, because I was with you;
4 Mas os he dicho esto, para que cuando aquella hora viniere, os acordéis que yo os lo había dicho. Esto empero no os lo dije al principio, porque yo estaba con vosotros.
5 and now I go away to Him who sent me, and none of you doth ask me, Whither dost thou go?
5 Mas ahora voy al que me envió; y ninguno de vosotros me pregunta: ¿Adónde vas?
6 but because these things I have said to you, the sorrow hath filled your heart.
6 Antes, porque os he hablado estas cosas, tristeza ha henchido vuestro corazón.
7 'But I tell you the truth; it is better for you that I go away, for if I may not go away, the Comforter will not come unto you, and if I go on, I will send Him unto you;
7 Empero yo os digo la verdad: Os es necesario que yo vaya: porque si yo no fuese, el Consolador no vendría á vosotros; mas si yo fuere, os le enviaré.
8 and having come, He will convict the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment;
8 Y cuando él viniere redargüirá al mundo de pecado, y de justicia, y de juicio:
9 concerning sin indeed, because they do not believe in me;
9 De pecado ciertamente, por cuanto no creen en mí;
10 and concerning righteousness, because unto my Father I go away, and no more do ye behold me;
10 Y de justicia, por cuanto voy al Padre, y no me veréis más;
11 and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world hath been judged.
11 Y de juicio, por cuanto el príncipe de este mundo es juzgado.
12 'I have yet many things to say to you, but ye are not able to bear [them] now;
12 Aun tengo muchas cosas que deciros, mas ahora no las podéis llevar.
13 and when He may come — the Spirit of truth — He will guide you to all the truth, for He will not speak from Himself, but as many things as He will hear He will speak, and the coming things He will tell you;
13 Pero cuando viniere aquel Espíritu de verdad, él os guiará á toda verdad; porque no hablará de sí mismo, sino que hablará todo lo que oyere, y os hará saber las cosas que han de venir.
14 He will glorify me, because of mine He will take, and will tell to you.
14 El me glorificará: porque tomará de lo mío, y os [lo] hará saber.
15 'All things, as many as the Father hath, are mine; because of this I said, That of mine He will take, and will tell to you;
15 Todo lo que tiene el Padre, mío es: por eso dije que tomará de lo mío, y os [lo] hará saber.
16 a little while, and ye do not behold me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go away unto the Father.'
16 Un poquito, y no me veréis; y otra vez un poquito, y me veréis: porque yo voy al Padre.
17 Therefore said [some] of his disciples one to another, 'What is this that he saith to us, A little while, and ye do not behold me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me, and, Because I go away unto the Father?'
17 Entonces dijeron [algunos] de sus discípulos unos á otros: ¿Qué es esto que nos dice: Un poquito, y no me veréis; y otra vez un poquito, y me veréis: y, porque yo voy al Padre?
18 they said then, 'What is this he saith — the little while? we have not known what he saith.'
18 Decían pues: ¿Qué es esto que dice: Un poquito? No entendemos lo que habla.
19 Jesus, therefore, knew that they were wishing to ask him, and he said to them, 'Concerning this do ye seek one with another, because I said, A little while, and you do not behold me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me?
19 Y conoció Jesús que le querían preguntar, y díjoles: ¿Preguntáis entre vosotros de esto que dije: Un poquito, y no me veréis, y otra vez un poquito, y me veréis?
20 verily, verily, I say to you, that ye shall weep and lament, and the world will rejoice; and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow joy will become.
20 De cierto, de cierto os digo, que vosotros lloraréis y lamentaréis, y el mundo se alegrará: empero aunque vosotros estaréis tristes, vuestra tristeza se tornará en gozo.
21 'The woman, when she may bear, hath sorrow, because her hour did come, and when she may bear the child, no more doth she remember the anguish, because of the joy that a man was born to the world.
21 La mujer cuando pare, tiene dolor, porque es venida su hora; mas después que ha parido un niño, ya no se acuerda de la angustia, por el gozo de que haya nacido un hombre en el mundo.
22 'And ye, therefore, now, indeed, have sorrow; and again I will see you, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one doth take from you,
22 También, pues, vosotros ahora ciertamente tenéis tristeza; mas otra vez os veré, y se gozará vuestro corazón, y nadie quitará de vosotros vuestro gozo.
23 and in that day ye will question me nothing; verily, verily, I say to you, as many things as ye may ask of the Father in my name, He will give you;
23 Y aquel día no me preguntaréis nada. De cierto, de cierto os digo, que todo cuanto pidiereis al Padre en mi nombre, os [lo] dará.
24 till now ye did ask nothing in my name; ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
24 Hasta ahora nada habéis pedido en mi nombre: pedid, y recibiréis, para que vuestro gozo sea cumplido.
25 'These things in similitudes I have spoken to you, but there cometh an hour when no more in similitudes will I speak to you, but freely of the Father, will tell you.
25 Estas cosas os he hablado en proverbios: la hora viene cuando ya no os hablaré por proverbios, pero claramente os anunciaré del Padre.
26 'In that day, in my name ye will make request, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father for you,
26 Aquel día pediréis en mi nombre: y no os digo, que yo rogaré al Padre por vosotros;
27 for the Father himself doth love you, because me ye have loved, and ye have believed that I from God came forth;
27 Pues el mismo Padre os ama, porque vosotros me amasteis, y habéis creído que yo salí de Dios.
28 I came forth from the Father, and have come to the world; again I leave the world, and go on unto the Father.'
28 Salí del Padre, y he venido al mundo: otra vez dejo el mundo, y voy al Padre.
29 His disciples say to him, 'Lo, now freely thou dost speak, and no similitude speakest thou;
29 Dícenle sus discípulos: He aquí, ahora hablas claramente, y ningún proverbio dices.
30 now we have known that thou hast known all things, and hast no need that any one do question thee; in this we believe that from God thou didst come forth.'
30 Ahora entendemos que sabes todas las cosas, y no necesitas que nadie te pregunte: en esto creemos que has salido de Dios.
31 Jesus answered them, 'Now do ye believe? lo, there doth come an hour,
31 Respondióles Jesús: ¿Ahora creéis?
32 and now it hath come, that ye may be scattered, each to his own things, and me ye may leave alone, and I am not alone, because the Father is with me;
32 He aquí, la hora viene, y ha venido, que seréis esparcidos cada uno por su parte, y me dejaréis solo: mas no estoy solo, porque el Padre está conmigo.
33 these things I have spoken to you, that in me ye may have peace, in the world ye shall have tribulation, but take courage — I have overcome the world.'
33 Estas cosas os he hablado, para que en mí tengáis paz. En el mundo tendréis aflicción: mas confiad, yo he vencido al mundo.

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." And the Apostle Paul, too, says: "And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as …

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 …
