Darby's Synopsis
   1: "These things have I spoken to you, so that you wouldn't be caused to stumble.
   2: They will put you out of the synagogues. Yes, the time comes that whoever kills you will think that he offers service to God.
   3: They will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me.
   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 am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?'
   6: But because I have told you these things, sorrow has filled your heart.
   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: When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment;
   9: about sin, because they don't believe in me;
   10: about righteousness, because I am going to my Father, and you see me no more;
   11: about judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.
   12: "I have yet many things to tell you, but you can't bear them now.
   13: However when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever things he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you the things that are coming.
   14: He will glorify me, for he will take from what is mine, and will declare it to you.
   15: All things whatever the Father has are mine; therefore I said that he takes of mine, and will declare it to you.
   16: A little while, and you will not see me. Again a little while, and you will see me."
   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 said therefore, "What is this that he says, 'A little while?' We don't know what he is saying."
   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: Most assuredly 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 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: You therefore 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: "In that day you will ask me nothing. Most assuredly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.
   24: Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full.
   25: I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time comes when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.
   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 himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from God.
   28: I came out from the Father, and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world, and go to the Father."
   29: His disciples said to him, "Behold, now you speak plainly, and speak no figures of speech.
   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 forth from God."
   31: Jesus answered them, "Do you now believe?
   32: Behold, the time comes, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, everyone to his own place, and will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
   33: I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have oppression; but cheer up! I have overcome the world."
