St John 16:9-28 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

9. Of sin: because they believed not in me.

10. And of justice: because I go to the Father; and you shall see me no longer.

11. And of judgment: because the prince of this world is already judged.

12. I have yet many things to say to you: but you cannot bear them now.

13. But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will teach you all truth. For he shall not speak of himself; but what things soever he shall hear, he shall speak; and the things that are to come, he shall shew you.

14. He shall glorify me; because he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it to you.

15. All things whatsoever the Father hath, are mine. Therefore I said, that he shall receive of mine, and shew it to you.

16. A little while, and now you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me: because I go to the Father.

17. Then some of the disciples said one to another: What is this that he saith to us: A little while, and you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me, and, because I go to the Father?

18. They said therefore: What is this that he saith, A little while? we know not what he speaketh.

19. And Jesus knew that they had a mind to ask him; and he said to them: Of this do you inquire among yourselves, because I said: A little while, and you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me?

20. Amen, amen I say to you, that you shall lament and weep, but the world shall rejoice; and you shall be made sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

21. A woman, when she is in labour, hath sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she hath brought forth the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.

22. So also you now indeed have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice; and your joy no man shall take from you.

23. And in that day you shall not ask me any thing. Amen, amen I say to you: if you ask the Father any thing in my name, he will give it you.

24. Hitherto you have not asked any thing in my name. Ask, and you shall receive; that your joy may be full.

25. These things I have spoken to you in proverbs. The hour cometh, when I will no more speak to you in proverbs, but will shew you plainly of the Father.

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

27. For the Father himself loveth you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.

28. I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again I leave the world, and I go to the Father.
