If I don't go away, the helper won't come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/16-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>He will come to convict the world of sin, to show the world what has God's approval, and to convince the world that God judges it. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/16-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>He will convict the world of sin, because people don't believe in me. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/16-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>He will show the world what has God's approval, because I'm going to the Father and you won't see me anymore. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/16-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>He will convince the world that God judges it, because the ruler of this world has been judged.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/16-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>"I have a lot more to tell you, but that would be too much for you now. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/16-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>When the Spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into the full truth.

Then he tells us that in a little while we will see him again and that he's going to the Father." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/16-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>So they were asking each other, "What does he mean when he says, 'In a little while'? We don't understand what he's talking about." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/16-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>Jesus knew they wanted to ask him something. So he said to them, "Are you trying to figure out among yourselves what I meant when I said, 'In a little while you won't see me, and in a little while you will see me again'? <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/16-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>I can guarantee this truth: You will cry because you are sad, but the world will be happy.

Ask and you will receive so that you can be completely happy.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/16-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>"I have used examples to illustrate these things. The time is coming when I won't use examples to speak to you.

Again, [as I've said,] I'm going to leave the world and go back to the Father."</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/16-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>His disciples said, "Now you're talking in plain words and not using examples. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/16-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>Now we know that you know everything. You don't need to wait for questions to be asked. Because of this, we believe that you have come from God." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/16-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>Jesus replied to them, "Now you believe. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/16-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span>The time is coming, and is already here, when all of you will be scattered. Each of you will go your own way and leave me all alone. Yet, I'm not all alone, because the Father is with me. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/16-33.htm"><b>33</b></a></span>I've told you this so that my peace will be with you.
