John Chapter 16 Flashcards
John 16:1
“All this I have told you so that you will not go astray.
John 16:2
They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God.
John 16:3
They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me.
John 16:4
I have told you this, so that when the time comes you will remember that I warned you. I did not tell you this at first because I was with you.
John 16:5
“Now I am going to him who sent me, yet none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’
John 16:6
Because I have said these things, you are filled with grief.
John 16:7
But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
John 16:8
When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment:
John 16:9
in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me;
John 16:10
in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer;
John 16:11
and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.
John 16:12
“I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.
John 16:13
But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.
John 16:14
He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you.
John 16:15
All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you.
John 16:16
“In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me.”
John 16:17
Some of his disciples said to one another, “What does he mean by saying, ‘In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me,’ and ‘Because I am going to the Father’?”
John 16:18
They kept asking, “What does he mean by ‘a little while’? We don’t understand what he is saying.”
John 16:19
Jesus saw that they wanted to ask him about this, so he said to them, “Are you asking one another what I meant when I said, ‘In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me’?
John 16:20
I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.
John 16:21
A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world.
John 16:22
So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.
John 16:23
In that day you will no longer ask me anything. I tell you the truth, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.
John 16:24
Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.
