John 16
Reading John chapter 16 in the Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible, public-domain text from 1899.
Verses 1–10
1 These things have I spoken to you things have I spoken to you that you may not be scandalized.
2 They will put you out of the synagogues: yea, the hour cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doth a service to God.
3 And these things will they do to you; because they have not known the Father nor me.
4 But these things I have told you, that when the hour shall come, you may remember that I told you of them.
5 But I told you not these things from the beginning, because I was with you. And now I go to him that sent me, and none of you asketh me: Whither goest thou?
6 But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
7 But I tell you the truth: it is expedient to you that I go. For if I go not, the Paraclete will not come to you: but if I go, I will send him to you.
8 And when he is come, he will convince the world of sin and of justice and of judgment.
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.
