Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, John
Weymouth, Richard Francis
Bible. John
015:026 "When the Advocate is come whom I will send to you from
the Father's presence--the Spirit of Truth who comes forth
from the Father's presence--He will be a witness concerning me.
015:027 And you also are witnesses, because you have been with me
from the first.
016:001 "These things I have spoken to you in order to clear
stumbling-blocks out of your path.
016:002 You will be excluded from the synagogues; nay more, the time
is coming when any one who has murdered one of you will suppose
he is offering service to God.
016:003 And they will do these things because they have failed
to recognize the Father and to discover who I am.
016:004 But I have spoken these things to you in order that when
the time for their accomplishment comes you may remember them,
and may recollect that I told you. I did not, however, tell you
all this at first, because I was still with you.
016:005 But now I an returning to Him who sent me; and not one of you
asks me where I am going.
016:006 But grief has filled your hearts because I have said all
this to you.
016:007 "Yet it is the truth that I am telling you--it is to your
advantage that I go away. For unless I go away, the Advocate
will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.
016:008 And He, when He comes, will convict the world in respect of sin,
of righteousness, and of judgement;--
016:009 of sin, because they do not believe in me;
016:010 of righteousness, because I am going to the Father, and you
will no longer see me;
016:011 of judgement, because the Prince of this world is under sentence.
016:012 "I have much more to say to you, but you are unable at present
to bear the burden of it.
016:013 But when He has come--the Spirit of Truth--He will guide
you into all the truth. For He will not speak as Himself
originating what He says, but all that He hears He will speak,
and He will make known the future to you.
016:014 He will glorify me, because He will take of what is mine
and will make it known to you.
016:015 Everything that the Father has is mine; that is why I said
that the Spirit of Truth takes of what is mine and will make
it known to you.
016:016 "A little while and you see me no more, and again a little
while and you shall see me."
016:017 Some of His disciples therefore said to one another, "What does
this mean which He is telling us, `A little while and you
do not see me, and again a little while and you shall see me,'
and `Because I am going to the Father'?"
016:018 So they asked one another repeatedly, "What can that `little while'
mean which He speaks of? We do not understand His words."
