Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. Psalm 127:1

John 16
These Things Have I
Spoken
1 These things have
I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. 2 They shall put you out of
the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think
that he doeth God service. 3 And these things will they do unto you, because
they have not known the Father, nor me. 4 But 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. 5
But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither
goest thou? 6 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled
your heart. 7 Nevertheless 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. 8 And when he is come, he will reprove the
world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 of sin, because they
believe not on me; 10 of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see
me no more; 11 of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
12 I have yet many
things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 13 Howbeit 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. 14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of
mine, and shall shew it unto you. 15 All things that the Father hath are mine:
therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 16 A
little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall
see me, because I go to the Father.
17 Then 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? 18 They said therefore, What is this that he
saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.
19 Now 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? 20 Verily, 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. 21 A 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. 22 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your
heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. 23 And 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. 24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing
in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
25 These 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. 26 At that
day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the
Father for you: 27 for the Father himself loveth you, because ye 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 go to the Father.
