  1. 1These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.Ταῦτα λελάληκα ὑμῖν ἵνα μὴ σκανδαλισθῆτε
  2. 2They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.ἀποσυναγώγους ποιήσουσιν ὑμᾶς ἀλλ’ ἔρχεται ὥρα ἵνα πᾶς ὁ ἀποκτείνας ὑμᾶς δόξῃ λατρείαν προσφέρειν τῷ θεῷ
  3. 3And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.καὶ ταῦτα ποιήσουσιν ὅτι οὐκ ἔγνωσαν τὸν πατέρα οὐδὲ ἐμέ
  4. 4But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.ἀλλὰ ταῦτα λελάληκα ὑμῖν ἵνα ὅταν ἔλθῃ ἡ ὥρα ⸀αὐτῶν μνημονεύητε ⸁αὐτῶν ὅτι ἐγὼ εἶπον ὑμῖν Ταῦτα δὲ ὑμῖν ἐξ ἀρχῆς οὐκ εἶπον ὅτι μεθ’ ὑμῶν ἤμην
  5. 5But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?νῦν δὲ ὑπάγω πρὸς τὸν πέμψαντά με καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐξ ὑμῶν ἐρωτᾷ με Ποῦ ὑπάγεις
  6. 6But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.ἀλλ’ ὅτι ταῦτα λελάληκα ὑμῖν ἡ λύπη πεπλήρωκεν ὑμῶν τὴν καρδίαν
  7. 7Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.ἀλλ’ ἐγὼ τὴν ἀλήθειαν λέγω ὑμῖν συμφέρει ὑμῖν ἵνα ἐγὼ ἀπέλθω ἐὰν ⸀γὰρ μὴ ἀπέλθω ὁ παράκλητος ⸂οὐ μὴ ἔλθῃ⸃ πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἐὰν δὲ πορευθῶ πέμψω αὐτὸν πρὸς ὑμᾶς
  8. 8And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:καὶ ἐλθὼν ἐκεῖνος ἐλέγξει τὸν κόσμον περὶ ἁμαρτίας καὶ περὶ δικαιοσύνης καὶ περὶ κρίσεως
  9. 9Of sin, because they believe not on me;περὶ ἁμαρτίας μέν ὅτι οὐ πιστεύουσιν εἰς ἐμέ
  10. 10Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;περὶ δικαιοσύνης δέ ὅτι πρὸς τὸν ⸀πατέρα ὑπάγω καὶ οὐκέτι θεωρεῖτέ με
  11. 11Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.περὶ δὲ κρίσεως ὅτι ὁ ἄρχων τοῦ κόσμου τούτου κέκριται
  12. 12I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.Ἔτι πολλὰ ἔχω ⸂ὑμῖν λέγειν⸃ ἀλλ’ οὐ δύνασθε βαστάζειν ἄρτι
  13. 13Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.ὅταν δὲ ἔλθῃ ἐκεῖνος τὸ πνεῦμα τῆς ἀληθείας ὁδηγήσει ὑμᾶς ⸂ἐν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ πάσῃ⸃ οὐ γὰρ λαλήσει ἀφ’ ἑαυτοῦ ἀλλ’ ὅσα ⸀ἀκούσει λαλήσει καὶ τὰ ἐρχόμενα ἀναγγελεῖ ὑμῖν
  14. 14He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.ἐκεῖνος ἐμὲ δοξάσει ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ ἐμοῦ λήμψεται καὶ ἀναγγελεῖ ὑμῖν
  15. 15All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.πάντα ὅσα ἔχει ὁ πατὴρ ἐμά ἐστιν διὰ τοῦτο εἶπον ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ ἐμοῦ λαμβάνει καὶ ἀναγγελεῖ ὑμῖν
  16. 16A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.Μικρὸν καὶ ⸀οὐκέτι θεωρεῖτέ με καὶ πάλιν μικρὸν καὶ ὄψεσθέ ⸀με
  17. 17Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?εἶπαν οὖν ἐκ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ πρὸς ἀλλήλους Τί ἐστιν τοῦτο ὃ λέγει ἡμῖν Μικρὸν καὶ οὐ θεωρεῖτέ με καὶ πάλιν μικρὸν καὶ ὄψεσθέ με καί ⸀Ὅτι ὑπάγω πρὸς τὸν πατέρα
  18. 18They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.ἔλεγον οὖν ⸂Τί ἐστιν τοῦτο⸃ ὃ ⸀λέγει μικρόν οὐκ τί λαλεῖ
  19. 19Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?⸀ἔγνω Ἰησοῦς ὅτι ἤθελον αὐτὸν ἐρωτᾶν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Περὶ τούτου ζητεῖτε μετ’ ἀλλήλων ὅτι εἶπον Μικρὸν καὶ οὐ θεωρεῖτέ με καὶ πάλιν μικρὸν καὶ ὄψεσθέ με
  20. 20Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι κλαύσετε καὶ θρηνήσετε ὑμεῖς ὁ δὲ κόσμος χαρήσεται ⸀ὑμεῖς λυπηθήσεσθε ἀλλ’ ἡ λύπη ὑμῶν εἰς χαρὰν γενήσεται
  21. 21A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.ἡ γυνὴ ὅταν τίκτῃ λύπην ἔχει ὅτι ἦλθεν ἡ ὥρα αὐτῆς ὅταν δὲ γεννήσῃ τὸ παιδίον οὐκέτι μνημονεύει τῆς θλίψεως διὰ τὴν χαρὰν ὅτι ἐγεννήθη ἄνθρωπος εἰς τὸν κόσμον
  22. 22And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.καὶ ὑμεῖς οὖν ⸂νῦν μὲν λύπην⸃ ἔχετε πάλιν δὲ ὄψομαι ὑμᾶς καὶ χαρήσεται ὑμῶν ἡ καρδία καὶ τὴν χαρὰν ὑμῶν οὐδεὶς ⸀αἴρει ἀφ’ ὑμῶν
  23. 23And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.καὶ ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐμὲ οὐκ ἐρωτήσετε οὐδέν ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ⸂ἄν αἰτήσητε τὸν πατέρα ⸂δώσει ὑμῖν ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί μου⸃
  24. 24Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.ἕως ἄρτι οὐκ ᾐτήσατε οὐδὲν ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί μου αἰτεῖτε καὶ λήμψεσθε ἵνα ἡ χαρὰ ὑμῶν ᾖ πεπληρωμένη
  25. 25These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.Ταῦτα ἐν παροιμίαις λελάληκα ὑμῖν ⸀ἔρχεται ὥρα ὅτε οὐκέτι ἐν παροιμίαις λαλήσω ὑμῖν ἀλλὰ περὶ τοῦ πατρὸς ⸀ἀπαγγελῶ ὑμῖν
  26. 26At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί μου αἰτήσεσθε καὶ οὐ λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἐγὼ ἐρωτήσω τὸν πατέρα περὶ ὑμῶν
  27. 27For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.αὐτὸς γὰρ ὁ πατὴρ φιλεῖ ὑμᾶς ὅτι ὑμεῖς ἐμὲ πεφιλήκατε καὶ πεπιστεύκατε ὅτι ἐγὼ παρὰ τοῦ ⸀θεοῦ ἐξῆλθον
  28. 28I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.ἐξῆλθον ⸀ἐκ τοῦ πατρὸς καὶ ἐλήλυθα εἰς τὸν κόσμον πάλιν ἀφίημι τὸν κόσμον καὶ πορεύομαι πρὸς τὸν πατέρα
  29. 29His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.⸀Λέγουσιν οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ Ἴδε νῦν ⸀ἐν λαλεῖς καὶ παροιμίαν οὐδεμίαν λέγεις
  30. 30Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.νῦν ὅτι πάντα καὶ οὐ χρείαν ἔχεις ἵνα σε ἐρωτᾷ ἐν τούτῳ πιστεύομεν ὅτι ἀπὸ θεοῦ ἐξῆλθες
  31. 31Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?ἀπεκρίθη ⸀αὐτοῖς Ἰησοῦς Ἄρτι πιστεύετε
  32. 32Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.ἰδοὺ ἔρχεται ὥρα ⸀καὶ ἐλήλυθεν ἵνα σκορπισθῆτε ἕκαστος εἰς τὰ ἴδια κἀμὲ μόνον ἀφῆτε καὶ οὐκ εἰμὶ μόνος ὅτι ὁ πατὴρ μετ’ ἐμοῦ ἐστιν
  33. 33These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.ταῦτα λελάληκα ὑμῖν ἵνα ἐν ἐμοὶ εἰρήνην ἔχητε ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ θλῖψιν ἔχετε ἀλλὰ θαρσεῖτε ἐγὼ νενίκηκα τὸν κόσμον
