John 16 ©

1 Christ warneth his disciples of their sufferings for his sake: 5 he comforteth them by a promise of the Holy Ghost: 16 he intimateth his death, resurrection, and ascension, telling them that their sorrow should soon be succeeded by joy, and that their prayers in his name would be accepted of the Father: 29 his disciples confess their faith in him; he foretelleth their desertion of him, and promiseth them peace in him amidst their tribulation in the world.
