These have I spoken with you, that you may not be offended. They shall cast you out from their synagogues; and the hour cometh when every one who shall kill you will think that a sacrifice he offereth unto Aloha. And these will they do, because they have not known either my Father or me.
* Or, no cause on the faces of their sins. † Also me, and also my Father.
XXXVIII. 16:4
THESE have I spoken with you, that when their time hath come you may remember that I told you. But these at first I did not tell you, because with you I was. But now I go unto Him who sent me; and no man of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? For I have told you these, and sorrow hath come and filled your hearts. But I the truth say to you, That it is needful for you that I go; for if I go not, the Paraclete cometh not to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. And when he hath come, he will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment. Of sin, because they believe not in me; but of righteousness, because unto my Father I go, and you see me not again; but of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. I have yet much to tell you, but you cannot now apprehend; but when the Spirit of Truth hath come, he will lead you into all the truth; for he will not speak of himself; * but all that he shall hear he will speak, and the things to come † will he make known to you. He will glorify me, because of mine he will take and will show you. All whatever that the Father hath is mine: on this account I have said to you, That of mine he will take, and will show you.
* From his own mind. † The futurities.
XXXIX. 16:16
A LITTLE (time), and you will not see me; and again a little, and you shall see me, because I go to the Father. And the disciples said one to another, What is this that he saith to us? A little (time), and you will not see me; and again a little (while), and you shall see me, and because I go to my Father. And they said, What is this little (time of) which he hath spoken? We know not what he saith. But Jeshu knew that they sought to ask him; and he said to them, Concerning this do you inquire together that I told you, A little (time), and you will not see me; and again a little, and you shall see me ? Amen, amen, I tell you, That you will weep and lament, and the world will rejoice; and to you shall be sorrow; but your sorrow shall become joy. A woman, when she travaileth, hath sorrow, that the day hath come for her giving birth; but when she hath borne a son, she remembereth not her anguish, for joy that a child of man hath been born into the world. You also now have sorrow; but again I will see you, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. And in that day you will ask me nothing. Amen, amen, I tell you, That whatsoever you shall ask my Father in my name, he will give you. Hitherto you have not asked any thing in my name : * ask, and receive, that your joy may be full. These in parables I have spoken with you; but the hour cometh when I will not speak with you in parables, but manifestly; and I will announce to you concerning the Father. In that day you shall ask in my name; and I say not to you that I will ask of the Father for you; for the Father himself loveth you, because you have loved me, and have believed that from the Father I came forth. I came forth from the Father, and came into the world; and again I leave the world, and go unto the Father.
His disciples say to him, Behold, now openly speakest thou, and not one parable hast thou spoken. Now know we that every thing thou knowest, and thou needest not that any man should ask thee. By this we believe that from Aloha thou hast come forth.
* Some copies add here, Velo medem, and not any thing.
XL. 16:31
JESHU saith to them, Believe ! Behold, the hour shall come, and now cometh, that you will be dispersed (every) man to his place, and you will have left me alone. But I am not alone, because the Father is with me. These have I said to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you shall have distress; but be of heart, I have conquered the world.
